Honda Ridgeline with multiple coats of Zaino

This Honda Ridgeline belongs to my father. It is an 07' with about 25K miles on it. Ever since it was new, him and I have been applying a new coat of Zaino to it at least every couple of weeks. He likes to take really good care of his things and is always cleaning something, whether it is his snowblower, lawnmower, the washer machine, dryer, etc.. Everything he has looks brand new and his vehicle is no exception. I wonder where I get my OCD from?

Him and I decided that it was time for another Zaino treatment on the Ridgeline, so we took a few hours today to do so. I would say that since the middle of the summer until now, it is wearing a minimum of 15 coats of Zaino.

The Process:

Washed

Cleaned wheels and tires

Z6 Wipedown

2 coats of ZFX'd Z2 Pro to complete exterior

Clear-Seal on complete exterior, wheels and glass

Super Blue dressing on tires and wheel wells


Afters

Re: Honda Ridgeline with multiple coats of Zaino

Nice detail. I cannot wait to have my son help me with the paint instead of doing the wheels.

Beautiful looking truck!! Very impressive.

Re: Honda Ridgeline with multiple coats of Zaino

Wow. Looks great! I absolutely love that tire dressing! It has the perfect amount of sheen to it without being over the top, like most dressings. The tires just look new, not like they've been coated in urethane. Is that a water-based dressing?
