Blue magic claybar, Fusion, Z2pro w/ ZFX and Menzerna High Gloss Acrylic Shield QSZ06

1) Blue magic claybar with blue magic lube-I like not washing the car after. Just wipe down each section you do with a nice clean towel.

2) Zaino PC fusion This stuff comes from the zaino gods! I applied it by hand. I was able to reduce about 3-4 scratches on the car. I used it on the entire car, the surface was even slicker then using the claybar, which is pretty hard to do, IMO.

3) Meguires even-coat applicator You get 2 of them for $3. Very nice microfiber and fits your hand well. I used these for the fusion and Z2pro. Finally a Meguires product worth a crap.

4) Zaino Z2 pro and Zaino ZFX

I did about 1.5oz of Z2pro with 3 drops of ZFX. I did 3 coats as I didn't even come close to using it all. I was trying to put it on heavier then I usually do, but still had plenty left over.

I used some zaino Z6 cut 50/50 with water between each coat of Z2pro.

Then I used Menzerna High Gloss Acrylic Shield for a nice extra slick finish. When this is all gone I will get some Zaino Z8.

Sorry for the indoor pics, it was raining on and off.





Just a reminder of that good ole GM orange peel. The more it shine, the more it shows.

Looks fantastic!

You got shine, wetness, and one extremly fine Z06.

I agree with you about the Z-PC. I know it's a bit expensive compared to similar products, but everytime Ive used it, by hand or machine, I accomplished more than I set out to.

Thanks Craig! It was the first time that I used the Z-PC. Very easy to use. Get to try it out on the wifes 99 740il which is dark red and has a touch of swirls. I'll make that into a 2 day job. Taking my time...

That silver Z06 must be blinding in full sunlight.

Nice and beautiful ride.
