Washed and Zaino pro

gizmo335i · 05-29-2012, 08:14 PM

Well, I've waxed it myself a couple times. I bought a Flex and did it myself a couple times. I've had it done "Professionally" a couple times. I get this stuff and just do one coat and I think it looks way better than it ever has before. I'm gonna do another coat and then the finish and see how it turns out. I usually suck REALLY bad taking pics. But I think these came out ok. Anyone have any tippers on how to get this better as I go along without a buffer...feel free to give them to me

I'm using a waffle weave to wipe...

Paint looks great! Your stance looks perfect. My H&R sport with Koni Yellows don't look that perfect.. lol

Your car looks great! And seeing where you are makes me miss home a little (Converse).

gizmo335i · 05-29-2012, 09:04 PM

Thank you very much. Just get Michelin pss's with 10 mm spacers.

Did you use Z-5 (fillers) or just Z-2? I've always found Z to be really easy to apply/remove as long as I remember to dampen the applicator with Z-6 before I start. Z-8 is the one you want to finish her off with.

Going forward wash and then wipe with Z-8. I don't even completely dry any more since I know I will get it with the Z-8. Keeps the amount of wipes to a minimum.

Of course, *I* don't have black . . . .

Are those TI exhaust tips or are they just painted blue.

gizmo335i · 05-30-2012, 04:48 PM

They're titanium

I just used the pro and then the Z2. I guess I need to get the Z6 and 8 now...thank you...

That car is gorgeous! What kind of exhaust tips are those?

gizmo335i · 05-31-2012, 05:38 AM

Thank you very much.....they're Cyba burnt titanium

zanth119 · 05-31-2012, 06:41 PM

Very sharp! Wish I could get the same effects on Titanium Silver with Zaino, really like the ease of use, but not nearly the same as on black.

Thanks. Where did you buy them and is it just a bolt on to the standard exhaust. Google isn't pulling up anything on where to buy them.

gizmo335i · 05-31-2012, 08:16 PM

Search Cyba on here. Then just pm the guy. I had them welded on to my Vanguard exhaust...
