Dave, did you see Jeff's car? I have NEVER seen a black car that
was as swirl mark and scratch free as his!

If it works that well on black, I can only imagine how well a silverstone
car would turn out!

And, if I can get good with it and the PC, I can do my own detailing
before storing it for the winter and save myself $220.

Mark, I only wish my car was clean on top of that


Steve is the reason that it is swirl free right now though. He did everything except the roof because we know it will be painted at some point.

It was a swirly mess a few weeks ago.


If you do a good swirl removal with the PC and then you will be left with some barely noticable micro swirls that will be almost impossioble to get out.

The Z5 will fill that stuff in like a charm and the Z2 will make it shine like kojacks head.

the best thing about Zaino IMO is that it repels dust very well. You will notice a lot less dust after applying the Zaino.

Also, once you put a few fresh coats on in the spring, you dont need anyh more until fall or next spring. Just wash and use the Z6 spray!!!!

I think you will likey very much!

I am not happy with the state of cleanliness, Steve took all the swirls out and I am happy with that.

The fact that I have a clam driveway and no garage means that I will prpbably not be getting it as clean as I would like anytime soon, so I am giving up. I will just wash it when I have time and keep on trucking until I can get her painted white

The last I saw it was just a bottle.


You used to squirt it on a rag and wipe it on.
now
it looks like it's a spray you buff in.

Dave, yours was awesome!

But I saw Jeff's car at Erick's on Friday (that was YOUR car in front of the other
garage bay wasn't it Jeff?) and it looked really good too!

Thank you Mark, that actually makes me feel a bit better about things because while I am satisfied with the swirl situation after Steve helped me out, I am having issues with polish residue in crevices and my front end is seriously chipped from years of highway driving.

I have always loved black cars, but without a garage, it is getting to be too much. I am seriously considering a custom paint job in either white pearl or something crazy. Buty that would be quite a way down the line. I need to get my dashboard done soon. Like before going back to work soon
