I had a 1997 BMW 528i to detail last Tuesday, didn't get enough time to do the GMC Tahoe (but most likely next Thursday.)
The car has 50K on it. It hasn't been detailed in a year (the last time I detailed it actually, last summer!, over a year!.) I put on Klasse AIO followed by Souveran by hand. (ok, this was last summer, sorry for the confusion.)
I tried for an hour on the hood with PC, lambswool pad, and clear coat compound to get the swirls out, wasn't too successful, so I told the owner that I can not remove them with this machine, and I didn't have a rotary, so he agreed to live with them. I was doing this detail as a favor, not business so he didn't mind.
(I clayed with Clay Magic before Z'ing, worked out well, paint was buttery smooth.)
So I dawn washed and starting mixing Z-5 with ZFX (1 ounce of Z5 with 5 drops ZFX.)
I applied on 3 coats of Z-5 with ZFX with Z-6 inbetween.
I vacuumed out the interior, dressed everything, buffed the wood trim, removed stains, clean and treated the leather, and wiped down the engine,
Here are some befores
Klasse is still on there, the water just sheet/beaded, something was on there. Well the car is mostly garaged and rarely taken out in inclimate weather.
The Zaino Z-5 with ZFX worked well. The swirls weren't helped much, but I didn't expect much. The owner was happy. The car looked like so different than before with Klasse/Souveran. The color was actually lighter and the metallic showed up a little. 8-10 minutes to apply. 10 minutes to buff with 30 minutes of dry time. Then 5 minutes to Z-6.
Buffing off was pretty easy, a little harder than Souveran but easier than Blitz.
It took me 7 hours to detail this car, 1 hour to wash the wheels, vac, clean wheels, tires and wheelwells/clay. 1 hour on swirls, 4 hours on Zaino and cleaning out interior/dressing/cleaning conditioning leather, dressing tires, and polishing up the head/tail lights wth Z-14. Finally one hour on the final details, dressing wheel wells, cleaning windows......
I'll try to go back and see the car next Thursday and maybe wash it with Z-7 and add more coats of Z.
