Well, it was a long and tiring two days, but overall I was pretty pleased with everything.



Day 1



First up was a ’99 Dodge Viper ACR w/ 30,000 miles. He wanted a good clean-up and something that would last. This was the first Viper I’ve done. It was pretty easy to work with and on, but the water liked to drip forever from the front of the doors. The wheels were also a pain, but they came out pretty nice.



Interior:



-Vacuum

-Zaino leather treatment



Exterior:



-Simple Green 1:3 wheels/tires/wells

-Zaino Z7 wash

-Zaino Z18 clay with Truck Gloss lube

-Menzerna PO106FF with polishing pad at 1500 rpm

-Zaino Z5 Pro x 2 (zfx’d)

-Zaino Z8

-Zaino Z16 on tires

-Zaino ZPC on exhaust tips

-Sprayway on all glass

Next up was ’93 Mustang GT 5.0 w/ 32,000 miles. This thing is mint – probably the nicest I’ve ever come across. He, too, just wanted a good cleaning and something that would last. The sun was going down fast when I was taking pics of the next two.

I picked this one up at the last second when I was washing the Mustang. He just wanted an exterior wash, but it looked like this thing had been sitting in a dirt field.

Day 2



This day started out quite cold (35 degree windchill), completely overcast, and 30 mph winds. This truck is a daily driver / winter vehicle. It was suffering from a good bit of oxidation, etc. I didn’t step in too hard, but gave it a light overhaul and some good protection.

Questions, comments, advice always welcome!
 
Stellar work throughout but the trophy goes to the viper. I threw out a few expletives and an "im spent" when I saw the first few pics. Always a treat to see your work.



Greg
 
Terrific job on all, and damn fine collection of American muscle! Even that rough S-10 turned out really nice!



Thoughts on Prime Strong? I need to reorder a Prime, just not sure which one yet.
 
Zane, you are killin' 'em out there!





Absolutely stellar across the board...As with Greg, the Viper takes the cake.
 
The Viper is just stellar! Questions on the white Stang and Zaino. I'm just about to try Zaino and I was told Z2pro for whites. I was just curious how the Z5pro turned out. How did you like Z5pro on white? Did the Z5pro make it more wet looking? What about concerns on muting? Thanks!

I love the mint Fox. They're near impossible to find these days.



Great work!



I agree. I had one just like that.......wish I had kept it.

The Viper hoods give the best shots of any vehicles I've ever done. Awesome work and nice presentation. You always do good.
 
previous post say it all..your work/process is phenominal..Congrats on having such a sweet client base..
 
Thank you all very much :)



Scott - I really like Prime Strong. It seems a lot like pre-VOC AIO. Nice cleaning ability and easy to work with.



Wise 85 - I do use other products besides Zaino. Many of my customers request Zaino, and the other vehicles are getting prepped for winter right now.



Grimm - Unfortunately, those are chips in the paint :(
