3-steps, right, layer? No </font>[/QUOTE]Exactly!

As for my Zaino posts, just stating the facts. People all the time say. "I put on 30 layers of a cleaner carnuba wax" Not realizing cleaner waxes, remove the old wax as you apply it. So you remove the previous coat of wax.

Reason why zaino layers is because its synthetic and not a cleaner polish. The initial steps in putting it on the car is because you have to remove all chemicals from teh paint so zaino can bond with it.

I am still going strong on my last zaino application from February. Not as shiny, but I haven't used and Z6 gloss enhancer yet.


So there is your guy's zaino post from me.

8 hours? damn... i waxed and detailed my mom's 1988 ford crown vic LTD today. took a whole 2 hours :D . lol

Yes, a total of 7-8 Hours.

First wash I took my time getting all the nooks and crannies and then I clayed the car and took my time, then washed it again.

Then I got out the Polish and polished it and let it dry for about 1 hour, then I buffed it all in after wiping it down with Microfiber.

Then I used Meguairs ColorX and applied it then let it set for about 30 minutes then buffed it in after wipping it down with Microfiber.

Then I glazed it which is a total pain in the ***! That stuff doesnt want to come off for chit! I buffed it then wipped it down with Microfiber and then buffed it again, then wipped it down again! BTW I let it set for some while too.

Then for EXTRA depth, I used Meguairs Gold Class, It adds alot of depth, I didnt care about layering. I just wanted extra depth. Buffed it on and off.

So then I topped it all of with Meguairs NXT, if I wanted to layer, then I would add more layers of NXT. Buffed it on then let it set for about 20 minutes to dry.

Then I did the fender wells, cleaning them with a hard bristled brush soap water and then some armour all.

I also washed the wheels with soap and water and some tire shampoo, then I dressed the tires to make them look wet.
(Yes I know the wheels are hideous. Whatever. I dont care about my wheels and tires. Im not all for the exterior looking all bling blingy. I love my sleeper Camaro. Im spraying a 150 Wet Shot and have been doing so for the last month and 3 full bottles.)

The interior I used a bunch of Tuff Stuff and my shop vaccum, and a crapload of scrubbing with towels. Wow, carpet really gets dirty.

I also did under the hood, I used a bunch of towles and Meguairs Quick Detail Wax Spay, and then after that I used some stuff on the rubber parts under the hood.

BTW Zaino is okay, Its not the best stuff in the world. There are tons of other companies making 50x better quality waxes and polishes than Zaino.

BTW Stop whoring in my thread. Thanks.

hehe sorry, I know there are better things then zaino just be happy with what you use. I was just stating cleaner waxes don't layer. Very few polishes do and the only one I know for sure that does is zaino.

So don't do several coats of stuff unless its zaino or a non-cleaner wax. Maybe 2 coats tops to ensure that you didn't miss any spots.

Jsut trying to save you gusy some work. Its like painting your car, then removing the paint, then repainting the car again.

[Truth]

Since there is a wax argument.

This took me a couple hours and shines better then zaino.






The rest are at:

polish wax combo :-X

EDIT: ZAINO SUCKS EVERYTHING ELSE IS BETTER!

All cars posted look nice.

Enjoy your polishes/waxes, jsut research them before you decide how to use them, jsut like any other mod you do on your car.

Tired of spending more time arguing more about what product I use then time I spend actually using it.

For those interested in me expeireinces with zaino
