Ok, so we've all heard/seen the zaino shine stories.

Well, since I have a super black, I decided to stick with traditional wax.. at least for now.

Today was the first nice day here in what seems like months.. so I took the day off from work and made it a car day

Washed, dried, broken in the new porter cable with a 3M swirl remover session, followed by a coat of blitz wax.

Now the shine is as good as any zaino pictures I've seen.. or seen in person. Unfortunatly by the time I finished, it was night, and I was in my garage. My old digital camera can not do CRAP in low light.. so the pictures really suffered from that.

So here goes...

reflection near Z emblem

 

here's one on the hood. In person its nearly like looking up at the bikes directly.

 

Another roof shot.. it almost looks like a piece of cardboard is lying on my Z! but its my unfinished garage ceiling

 

and of course.. what reflection session is complete with out an attempt to show yourself. Again, the lighting kills this shot.. if it weren't for orange peel, you could shave to this..

 

Very nice looking pictures!

Can't wait to see some in the light.

 

I think I like this one the best.. almost can't tell where the car is due to its reflection.

 

cool...whatever works for you

 

Very Nice. Take some outside in the light now.

 

Of course the BEST things about Zaino besides a great shine is its durability and the protection it provides. You can definitely get a great shine from wax too, even with furniture polish, if that is all you want.

 

Yes.. we all know about the durability of waxes vs sealants.. but it also seems to get lost the 'performance' of waxes.

Outside shots coming soon.. took some before left for work

 

Looks nice, but I think I'm going to drop the bomb on 100 dollars worth of Zaino and am going to go to town.

 

Ok, I know my camera is crap in low light (heck.. anything but daylight), so I took a few shots before leaving for work.

Here goes..

Reshoot of the Z logo

 

The ever popular.. hood shot

 

A shot looking down the side of the car..

 

retry.. cant delete for some reason...

 

And lastly... the real winner... the latest 'me' reflection This is a shot looking into the driver's door. No smoke.. just wax mirrors

 

Very Nice!!! I always feel good when I see a clean car. I might just cry...

Your Z looks great. I saved your roof shot to my background on my computer.

 

Looks good fly, ya did a fine job! Next Rock Creek meet, bring your stuff, I'll let ya try it out on mine

 

don't make the zaino guys get jaded!! ;-)

Looks great!!! re-waxing is hardly a drop in the bucket when you think about it. Especially compared to us who layer on the non-waxes. I really like that "me" shot... the car is very reflective!!

 

OH MY GOD!! You have a bike hanging over your Z??? What if a freak earthquake happens? Maybe termites will eat the wood holding the hooks and then what'll you do? My God man, think about the consequences!!!
