2003 Tahoe Z71 – Winter Prep
Wash: (1 Hour)
Zaino Z7 Car Wash via foam gun/Sheepskin mitts
Optimum PAC/Foam Gun: Wells
BlackFire Wheel and Tire Gel: Tires, Wheels
Blower to dry
Polish: (2 Hours)
Zaino Z18 Clay
Menzerna P085RD @ 1400 using a LC Hi-Gloss Green Pad and the Metabo
Zaino ZPC Fusion @ 1100 using a LC Hi-Gloss Polishing Pad
Zaino ZPC Fusion @ 1000 using a LC Hi-Gloss Finishing Pad
*ZPC is replacing Menzerna IP, and FPII in my arsenal. ZPC knocks down swirls, has Menzerna like gloss, and there is absolutely ZERO polish haze (i.e. much easier to wipe off ‘clean’ vs. many other polishes that I like). It also leaves you with a squeaky clean, slick surface. I mixed about 1 oz of Z6 in my 8oz bottle and that eliminated any dusting issues and gave the polish a little more bite.
LSP: (1 Hour – Including dry times)
Zaino Z5Pro (zfx’d) x 2 (paint, jams, glass, wheels, lighting)
Zaino Z2Pro x 1
Z5 and Z2 were applied via a finishing pad on the PC @ 4.
I used ~1 oz of Z5Pro, and maybe a 1/2 oz of Z2Pro. I lay down a very fine mist of Z6 on the paint before applying which helps give you a thin, even coat of product.
Zaino Z6 between each coat
Zaino Z14 on the wheel flares, roof rack, bumpers, and running board pads.
Zaino Z9 on the door seals.
Zaino Z10/Z16 Mix on the flares, bumpers, running board pads, wells, tires, and seals)
