As promised pics of my berlina after being Zainoed. The poor quality of the pics is due to my 1.3 MP Camera being a POS. The sun is setting in the west and the car is facing east (For those interested)








Enjoy!! Comments Appreciated! Zaino ROCKS

This was from a few weeks back. I put another 2 Z5 coats on since then...

keep up the good work ! do it religiously man and you'll be the envy of berlina owners in all texas

you may want to employ the use of a zaino carrying kit like myself.. just for those quick moments of dust, bird poo etc. etc..

Thanks for the compliment man - she looks even better today.

Can you give me some insight on the carrying kit you mentioned? This would help keep me from using the spray intermittantely when things get dirty!!

-bottled water,
-clay bar
-water mixture in a spray bottle z7 wash mixed with water,
-MF towels

Thanks for the tip...I just took her out for lunch and despite my best efforts with Z5 it looks like the micro scratches are there - the swirl marks seem to be covered up though so that is good Eventually I want to get a random orbital polisher and some 3m Scratch/swirl remover and give it a good once over (obviously at my next strip the zaino affair )

Thanks - appreciate the feedback.

Actually I am going to create another thread today about random orbital polishers. I saw one at walmart for $20. It was 10" I believe and I really wanna know what the heck I should be looking for in one of these etc (top dollar is $120 so why the price differance right?). Anyway once you get Zaino on everything comes right off the paint with a wash or a rinse (bugs, tar, whatever). I use the duster too it works great. Zaino to get started will run you about $90 and you can get it from www.zainostore.com now online I believe. When you first apply Zaino follow all the tips etc. It takes time but it is worth it. I applied it after about a month.

Good luck and great color choice!! I am going to clear my headlights this weekend...if you want to see some pictures when its done I'll be happy to post em

I did grab one of those California Dusters that uses static electricity to pick up the dust from the car.

The duster is great. Be sure, especially on a black car, to avoid dusting when the paint is hot. It has a tendency to streak.
