2 New Cars Prepped With Zaino (X5/Aston Martin)

This is very new.

The interior/glass was just wiped down with a damp MF towel. The owner (like me) loves new car smell and wants to preserve it as long as possible.
Vacuumed as well.

After

The other car

Also swirl free

4 hours

Same process as his X5 except tires received Z16 x 3

Unfortunately the after pictures turned out less than OK

White paint and 3pm in the sun don't mix well.

I only have 1 picture that shows somewhat how nice the finish is.

This client sounds like my kind of guy! Looks really good T. Oh, and if you happen to have any more pics of the AM, I can't think of a better use of bandwidth ;-)

Re: 2 New Cars Prepped With Zaino (X5/Aston Martin)

Great work on both vehicles. And yes, wheels can be sharp ******* on the insides!!! I am always nervous because the back of the spokes are like KNIVES!
