Wow! $100 is a great price!

ZainoDetailer - What is your experience with Pigeon droppings that tend to leave a yellow stain on your clear coat when you try to clean it off (I have a PPW Z)? Does your detailing process remove these safely? The only way I'm ever able to get these out is with a 2000 grit rubbing compound and polish.

Also, how long does your full detailing process take?

Thx!

Bird droppings if left there for more than I say an hour, if that, has already done its damage. It eats through your clearcoat, i know this because my sister in law's car has the same stains, she doesn't clean it, my brother does, she just drives it. Sometimes with the claybar if you're lucky you can get it out, sometimes i get lucky where it the clearcoat was resilient enough to withstand the bird droppings. The whole process takes about 4-6 hours, most of the time being spent on claybarring the car. Since its heating up the wax should take no more than 20 min to dry. I just say 6 being the most because i hate to give a time quote i can't meet. Average is about 4 - 4 1/2. The heat also poses a problem with water spots. It has its advantages and disadvantages.

He did an excelent job on my expedition and did use his own Zaino. He came to my house, worked from start to finish without a break & wouldn't even take a bottled water from me or let me feed him. Again, it took him about 8 hours.

Just call him to schedule. You won't be disapointed.

so true. I get them from work and they sit there for at least 2-4 hours before i can get home to clean it. Damn pigeons around here eat some vile ****!

4-6 hours isnt too bad at all. very nice.

Wow, that is dedication!! I'd have probably forced a bottle of water on the guy...

how many coats of Z5 have you put on there so far? you can do one of two things.. either put more coats of Z5 or use a porter cable with the Zaino Z-PC to reduce them. After i detail i cannot guarantee that the swirls will be gone just by putting Z5 on there.. The Z5 is more of a filler. And the thing that sucks is you can only put 3 coats a day using the ZFX. Anything more is a waste of time and product because it won't be doing anything. i will post a pic of how the Z-PC works.

keep in mind it is abrasive so it WILL remove all of your Zaino layers. Be sure to put at least 1 coat on after you've used the Z-PC.
