Applying Zaino correctly... - Page 2 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

XfireZ51 · 02-27-2015

Lately my process has evolved into:

1. Wash
2. Clay bar
3. Polishing Compound
4. Zaino or Carnuba

Success!!

A nice 70+ afternoon, so stripped her (Dawn dw detergent) and rubbed her down with the ZAIO and buffed it off. Frigging amazing results! AND, I've yet to apply any polish coats, but Zaino guys say for their DDs AIO is all they use.

Talk about shine!

Oh...in case you were wondering, YES, the hood is popped open - hence the gap. BTW, yes. That is the new hood and front bumper; installed last year to fix my little episode at the WANNAGOFAST 1/2 mile gig, now 2 years ago come June.

Hello Paul,
How strong should the mixure be with Dawn?

VERY nice...Beautiful.

Side by side, people will have their opinions on whether carnuba or polish like the polymer or nano polishes look better. But, there is NO comparison when it comes to keeping it that way. If you like constantly fussing with the shine, and stripping and re-waxing at least once a year, wax - carnuba or whatever - is the way to go (and welcome to it!)

Bottom line tho... I don't think enough emphasis can be made on the preparation of the paint first. That is the key to how well this or that works and how much work it is to get it to "show quality" shine.

Just bought a ton of this product and will be tackling the Zee in a couple of weekends. I am anticipating that I won't need much additional exercise those days, but I am looking forward to the result!
