4 hours later, put a coat of Z5 and Z2, looks great! Now I'm just letting it bake in the sun.

Looks great, any polishing done prior?

jimmy5 · 08-15-2012, 03:02 PM

Nope! Just got it 2 weeks ago, finally got time to clean it, clay bar, soap, wash with microfiber mit, dried with microfiber towels, one coat of Z5 followed by a coat of Z2.
Zaino is some of my favorite stuff out there.

Nice job. That looks great. Zaino FTW!

DID YOU ZAINO the carbon fiber hood extractor? Also what are you doing to keep the grill and lower ground skirts clean/protected?

jimmy5 · 08-15-2012, 07:07 PM

I did zaino the CF insert, I plan on buying some of Adams VRT for the lower ground skirts.

Mark's SS · 08-15-2012, 07:23 PM

Adam's VRT works really well on all of the plastic pieces and keeps them looking good for quite a while.

I absolutely love the layering properties of the Zaino line and have been using it for 7-8 years. Stack Z5 and Z2 and mix it with CS. I've gotten roughly 7-8 months protection out of the clear seal here in the rainy winters of Seattle. The clear seal can also be used to top of other products and does a good job on protecting plastic.

Mark's SS · 08-15-2012, 11:51 PM

You are correct. I get the longest lasting protection from layering Zaino on my paint. I try other products but I always seem to go back to Zaino. I still use Adam's VRT on all of my plastic and trim. I like the results that I get. I will have to try the CS sometime.

jimmy, what did you put on the tires?

jimmy5 · 08-16-2012, 12:30 AM

I cleaned the wheels with a combination of windex, metal cleaner, and a microfiber towell.
The tires were done with another product by zaino, their tire dressing. Wont fly off the wheel when driving. It's some great stuff.

I bought the complete detail kit.

I think you ordered the best color available on a ZL1. Looks awesome.

MMC · 08-16-2012, 05:12 AM

I use a foam gun and the foam wont stick to the car with Zaino on it.
Try some Z-8 Grand Finally sometime it really leaves the finish looking slick.
