More insano-Zaino: BlackBIRDVQ's 5th gen (23 pics, 56K no way)
Mike brought his 5th gen for me to Zaino today. For the most part, I'm content with my abilities and how Zaino looks on a black car but I couldn't get all the webbing out of the trunk lid which was really frustrating. Oh well, I just have to improve my skills. The white specks aren't imperfections...it's residual Zaino powder that clings to the car due to static electricity. What was done:
Wash with Z7 Claybar Wash with Z7 again ZPC Z2 Pro Z6 Z2 Pro Grand Finale http://www.otfiles.com/OTpics/driver door2.jpg http://www.otfiles.com/OTpics/driver door.jpg http://www.otfiles.com/OTpics/driver front fender.jpg http://www.otfiles.com/OTpics/driver rear door2.jpg http://www.otfiles.com/OTpics/driver rear door.jpg |

BTW.. That paint looks incredible.:) Yep, 13th is still good. I'm going to try a different swirl remover on your car though...ZPC isn't aggressive enough. |

Sounds good... Will it be okay on my paint? I found out a while ago that Lexus paint has the base and clear mixed and applied as a single stage.

Damn. Now I needa go buy some Zaino. Great job btw
|
Looks great, Ty. Black is a very difficult color to get looking perfect. Is it just me, or are there a few swirl marks on the fender in the 3rd pic?
This spring I worked like h&ll to get rid of mine, and did......for about 2 weeks. Even with the most careful washing, swirl marks soon reappear. |
Hey Blues, Ive got the same issues with washing , it'll look good for a while, but you just walk by it and you'll get a swirl mark.
I've been using Poorboys S/W for my light duty cleaning, I'm sure I get a lot from that, but I still love the product. Nice work THT. For those that read this thread and think that Zaino is the reason... think again. His process is what produced the results. |

Holy Shit That Looks Good!

Orange peal comes with cars from the factory paint job. The factory doesn't wet sand the clear, so you get peal. I've seen a ton of bimmers with awful orange-peal. When you take your orbital, you're cutting the clear.
BEST solution: have a shop re-spray the clear and wet sand it. More coats of protection, and a mirror like reflection!:thumbsup: |

Wow, that looks incredible! But how could you possibly do that all by hand. Ouch! If I just do a wash, dry, swirl remover, then 1 coat of cleaner wax, my arms are sore as can be. |
damn i wish u were closer to me
