Yes, sooo shiny.


I actually had to do that to my car the first night I got it. It was filthy, even though it got washed. I tried to wax it, but it still had the grit feeling to it. I think it came from the recent fires we had here in So. Cali. Any how after the clay bar and wax, man I was like YEAH! Now that's what it's suppose to look and feel like.

Looks great! I hope to give my G the Zaino treatment as soon as it warms up here on the east coast.

Which Zaino did you use Z5, and or Z2?

Thanks for the compliments guys . The color is platinum graphite, I think it looks a bit like liquid plat from some of the white lightings in the pics. But yea, I was surprised by the result I got from clay bar. After doing the first section, I was like "WTF, witchcraft! ". The smoothness is uncanny. Anyone who hasn't clay barred before definitely needs to give it a shot.

I used Dawn liquid dish washing detergent, ArmorAll wheel cleaner, ArmorAll tire foam (Armorall stuff is leftover from a holiday pack I got a while ago, didn't like their shampoo though, wouldn't really recommend it), Meguiar's clay bar kit, Microfibers, Zaino AIO with ZFX, Zaino Z2-pro with ZFX.

Washed the wheels with wheel cleaner, soapy water and brush. Since it was first first time using Zaino, I followed the instructions and wash the car with Dawn to strip any wax on there. Completely dried it. Used Meguiar's clay bar kit and clay barred the entire car. Applied first coat of Zaino AIO with ZFX for fast curing, then Z2-pro with ZFX. Finished it off with tire foam. I think it took me 3-4 hrs. Didn't get around to the interior, maybe next time.

Looks like my G! Thief!

I clayed mine also but used Mequires NXT2 with pretty much equal results. Pretty amazing.

The clay really adds that last final cleanup to the G's paint.

Take some shots during the day time as well ;D
