Ivory Pearl + 5 Layers of Zaino = WIN!!

Did some detailing this weekend with zaino. Started off with a wash, clay bar, slight polishing. Rewashed next day and followed up with Zaino AIO, Z7 Final Spray, Z5, Z6, Z2, Z6, Z2, Z6, Clear Seal, and finally Z7 Final again.

Here are the results

My god....I can only imagine how long that took and how sore your arm was. I'm usually done after 2 coats, haha.

Try the Zaino-AIO and Z2. It's what I have.

Very nice! Looks sharp...

To stray a little (if you don't mind), how long have you had your twins? How many miles have you put on the car since?

Thanks for the nice comments. I put about 8000 miles on my twin turbos and had it for about 9 months. Everything has been running great. I just did an oil analysis after my second oil change and everything is running like a typical G37. Car has been running at 7.5 psi.

That looks sweet. I just got my car on Friday and I took two trips to Oklahoma so I have a bunch of dead bugs on my front bumper. I need to wash it but I am taking a trip to San Antonio in two weeks so I am going to wait to get it detailed..... after that I hope it looks as clean as yours.

If you don't have alot of quality car care products, get the starter package, it's a good investment and I use every thing that package comes with.

If you just want to do your paint, then you need one of their curing agents (can do without but it takes forever to dry) and then one of the sealants. The easiest curing agent is the ZFX, its a little blue liquid you drop into the polish bottle. The Z-5 is a little thicker and fills in swirl marks and light scratches. The Z-2 is thinner but shinier. Unless your car is brand new, I would recommend a couple of coats of Z-5 at the very least if you don't plan on polishing. Make sure Z-2 is always the last coat you put on for maximum effect.

Also get the Z-6 quick detailer, you can use this in between applying coats for even more effect.

I've been using Zaino stuff for years, I highly recommend it.

No track days yet, although I have been wanting to go. I've heard track days break cars so I'm hesitant.
