Spent the last few days zaino'ing the car
 

This was my first time using a pc and i'm fairly satisfied with the results. It was also my first time using z2 pro over the z2. Z2 pro seems to add more depth and slightly more wetness, but still not what i'm looking for. I will be moving on to menzerna and souveran for my next detail. Sorry, no before shots as i didnt have a camera to use at the time.

Process
wash
clay w/mothers claybar

zpc with sonus yellow pad on the pc set at 5-6
z5 x3 via pc
z8
z2 x2

z16 on tires

nice! i need zaino, thought i didnt but here (https://my350z.com/forum/cleaning-and-detailing/162357-56k-no-who-needs-zaino-first-waxing-of-06-a.html) are my resuts with meguiars, def not as good as yours. good job man.


as far as brake dust, remove the rim and use a sanding block with like 100 grit on the inside to remove 99% of it. for the dust on the shiny part, maybe some brake dust cleaner. gl man

Nice!, I'm in MD and it's been raining off and on for the past 2 weeks....talk about jealous:cool:

gorgeous.... good job

I would be careful on what you use to remove the brake dust. Most commercial wheel cleaners will strip the clear coat on the rims. I would try dawn and some elbow grease.

Nice Job!! Not understanding how you want more wetness when your SB is dripping hawt! Zaino is working!!

ended up using a claybar, worked just fine.

I am ****ing pissed off. I went downtown tonight for a few hours, and my detail job is ruined. I parked my car under a tree in front of a church and there is bird **** all over everything. The roof, hood, and sides have bird bombs all over them and there is nothing i can do about it until i wake up tommorow. There must be at least 20 bird ***** on my car now. This the last time i ever park my car under a tree.

DO my car. LOL. Thats one clean ride. If you are ever in austin bring all your goods and Ill pay you to detail mine. Nice Job!

I'd be a washing fool at 3am if that happened to me!

hellz yea that damn bird bomb will eat the paint away easily. i consider pigeons here in nyc flying rats, i hate them

no worries, Zaino is good sh1t, that bird crap has no chance. Just rinse and watch Zaino own that bird dung

I'm sorry....

My NXT job took 40 minutes....;)

and it doesnt look nearly as good.

most of it came off with me just spraying it with the hose, the rest came off with a mf wash mit very easily. No damage to the paint thankfully.

Not only do bird poo all the time but they pee as well. Every day that I park the car outside and work I come home and have to clean the pee off the finish. With any other color you wouldn't even notice.

Very nice looking polish job.

This will take care of the brake dust...

Good looking Z, let us know what wax/polish you settle on.

i've already ordered menzerna IP and FPII along with red moose glaze and souveran. Cant wait to see how my car looks in another week or two.
