Me, saran wrap, and Z-PC *pics*
John's swirls on his car was starting to get real bad.. so i gave it the magic touch... now its swirl free... here are befores during and afters.. the saran wrap was there because the z-pc slings and its a pain to get it off after.. so its protection..

















Reflection of the wheel off the door.. looks weird huh?

Man, I wish you were up here in the North Bay. I would have you do my car in a heartbeat!
Great job!
(How long does your normal service take? Its almost worth the 1.5 hour drive, and someone to cart me around for a few hours while you work!)

Z boy: well the magic touch i was referring to was me.. haha.. some elbow grease and some love haha..
Enzo driver: thanks very much its the z-pc and only 1 coat of Z2.
neurosis: it took me about 7 hours with a little help from my sister. she just helped put on the saran wrap. but i've done it a lot faster than that the saran wrap slowed me down, but i wanted to be extra cautious because of all the curves on the 350. i think i've figured out that i should put the saran wrap on after i do one panel than putting it on the whole car first.. i think that took most of my time.. I will post a pic of side by side comparison of my truck hood because it is a darker color (green) of one side that is z-pc'd and one that isnt.
alex: this whole weekend is booked.. next sunday is free... the buffer costs a little more to do because 1) i have to be very careful around creases and indents thats why i taped john's up. and thats what i would do for every car. 3m painters tape works like a charm.. i have yet to figure out how much i want to charge for doing a complete swirl removal..

Hemant, looks like you did a great job.
Since I am fairly new to having a new car, thus new paint, I purchased a complete Zymol kit to try out, including clay bar. I was curious what your experience, if any, you had with Zymol products, and how you would compare them to Zaino products?
Thanks.

Moodie: hey now i have someone so i can double book. So i can take more cars in. My friend actually has a business license so we are contemplating on opening up a shop. I just have to have the clientele to maintain a steady business. For right now a shop isn't necessary but double booking is.
yobri: I actually do this out of my house in fremont. So i have a garage and everything. I have someone working for me now so i finish off in about 3 hours now with him so i can take 2 cars in one day if its just for a regular zaino job, but if its for "the works" i will only take one car a day because i like to spend the time preppring and all that.
jmcmorante: thank you very much. I should have a tour de detailing and go down CA haha..
jcandas: i've heard zymol is ok. It can do the job, but don't buy the zymol stuff from costco. Its not the same.
GTNPU Z: Ok just give me a call or shoot me a pm with a date.

Ok i've got the price figured out. Had to calculate the cost of the saran wrap and blue tape and you guys know that blue tape isn't cheap. So here it is.. $160. Whats included.
Steps 1-3 are the same as the other one.
4) Swirl removal with Z-PC
5) 3 Coats of Z2, with Z6 between each
6) Finish off with Z8
And as usual leather is $20 extra.
I've added up the price for you guys and decided i was off in my estimate of as far as work goes. I threw in 2 more coats to make it $160.

This Sunday are you free?
Even blue-taped... looks like dedication to detailing perfection.
