My Zaino adventure...
Recently I've been making some side cash doing wash and wax jobs (no pun intended) for several people in my area. (For those who earlier PM'd me about having me work on their car please PM me back, when S2ki's main page changed, or about that time i lost all my old Pm's 
Sorry for inconvinience)
So I talked to one of my friends who owns an FD3S (Rx7). He got it used a while back and I believe it is a '93. I was warned by him that the car is damn dirty. "So I thought how dirty could it be! Zaino can handle it!" He repeated "No you don't understand..."
I was full with arrogance and pride and was sure hell, I can handle anything he can dish out as long as its not paint damage.
So the next day he brings the FD, and my facial expression is one of...
Why? Well... pictures worth a thousand words....
That would be the roof... the guy parks under a freaking pine tree -_-
*sigh*
My friend behind me laughing as I take pictures and am near to tears.
The horrible watermarks of death...
*has tramatic flashbacks...*
So I start on the car and realize after washing it with dawn... this things got freaking horrible water marks on the passenger side.
I wash the car with water and dawn a couple times to make sure i can get off anything i can, and by that time its time for a lunch break, so come back from lunch and start to clay bar...
The water marks start to come out... but... look what it did to my clay bar...
... does this mean I need a new claybar...
jk, I got myself a new one used that a bit and finished the car off clay barring.
By now its gotten dark outside and I start the zaino process, finish a few layers... while it dries i eat dinner and buff it out, finish more layers... my back starting to hurt from having to rub so hard with clay bar and so low.
So this goes on for until about 11 pm... which is about 12 hours since the car arrived, but in total about 8 hours of work. The car is 10 years old so it had a LOT of dings and dents, which I couldnt do much about, but nevertheless... I'm proud of the results... I was too tired to hold the camera stead so I kinda got blurred images-
The dinosaur awakens
F3Ar the mad lighting skills of superdyu
So dark outside...
I've gotta say this experience was tough but humbling, and I learned how miraculous (and sticky) clay bar really can be!

Your friend's car looks awesome! The pics tell the story!!! You couldn't pay me a million bucks to tackle that job (especially now that I know how tough it is to put Zaino on from scratch)! My whole upper body is killing me from doing my car today, and it was a new car from a dealership! LOL
