Here are the pics with two layers of CGQ. I didn't have to do any extra buffing the morning after, like I did last week. It really looks good today. When I took the pics, I didn't check the white balance on my camera and the color is off a lot

I'll put the last (third) layer on in a week or two and I'll assess the durability of the CG over the next 6-8 weeks.

OK, you guys. Wander over to this poll Battle of the Polymers/Waxes and see if you can guess correctly.
The application is on a Pikes Peak White (mine). Think a PPW can't shine like the dark colors?

By the way Dr. Bonz. My last Z (1986) was a maroon one so I absolutly love your car. I almost wish I had gone with a brick this time (especially since they are soon to be collectors items). I just decided this time to go with a White one (my 1981 Z was white also). Everyone seems to think you are the "Zaino Guru" so just for grins and giggles please post a reply.

oh I almost forgot..... Great looking "all american family"! I know you are proud.

Here is a pic of mine w/ coat #3. The shine just gets better. You could read a fine print book in the finish. Compare shine to signature pic and pic I am posting. Look at the relections in rear bumper.

Also new is a Texas DAR spoiler and a new set of Privat Fahren wheels.

I used to have same wheels w/ 40mm offset but sold them thinking I wanted to get in on the Iforged group buy.. But really liked those wheels, so now I went with same wheels again only different offset:
18 X 8(f) 20mm offset 245/40 Nitto 555
18 X 9(r) 25mm offset 275/35 Nitto 555

The lower offset really fills out the wheel wells MUCH better than the 40mm offset wheels I used to have. My signature pic has the 40mm offset wheels with 7mm spacers. (and 2 coats CG)

I think the G has bigger wheel wells than the Z, because the same 40mm wheels look fine on the Z, but don't fill out the G's wheel wells as much.

Kitkos, I already casted my vote. There wasn't any hazy stuff on there so I guess that leave out the CG

That looks like an impressive shine so I had to go with what got me here! The Zaino.

Interestingly enough, you used to have a maroon car and now have a white one. I used to have a white Celica GTS (1984) and now I have the Brickyard Z.

lmao!
You guessed it. Claybar, Z2, Z5, Z2, Z5 (Is that considered 2 coats or 4?)
If it can give a white car a mirror reflection I won't ever change!
