Pictures of the rims/tires after being polished with ZAIO/English Custom Polishes and locked in with Z2pro





Afters...





Here she is the next morning after I backer her out of the garage.























Some pictures from the cruise. In front of the Ferrari is a silver Challange Stradale that I detailed previously and touched up this time. Overall it was good time as I picked up 4 new exotic clients and potenially 4 more (included a Jaguar XJ220 and a Porsche Carrera GT.

Looks great but why do you need Z-2 Pro after using Z-5? I wonder if that might subtract from the wetness...? It looks very wet in the pics.

Wow, the attention to detail and results are just amazing.

Are you running an eye candy factory (LOL)?

Your clients are lucky to have such a gifted detailer.

I enjoy your posts.

Jeez Todd, thanks for teasing me with all those cars all together. I am an idiot for not coming down and working with you on these.

Excellent work and I am sure all those guys are excited with your work!!!!!!!

I find that Z2 adds a little shimmer or gloss to the paint. I have not found it detracts from the wetness at all (as you noticed, that Ferrari was dripping wet, even more so in person). I know a lot of the other Zaino guys use Z5 on darker or solids and Z2 on the lighter or metallics, but from my experience everything looks better with Z2 on top.

Agreed, though one of my clients just purchased a black F430, so we will have to see how they look in black also

The rims cost more then my car (and I'm not kidding). They are AWESOME though, made by artist, I could not find one flaw on them, anywhere!
