- the reason zaino was not used is I use it as an upsale item with meguiars #21 being the norm.



- total working time: 5.5 hours

Nice job Greg!



I have to ask, you`re not getting any buffer trails from finsihing with a polishing pad. I seem to always need to finish with a greg pad.



When you polish cars in general, do you swirl remove every section of paint, or only the major bodypanels?

M21 looks great on that color, especially since it has flake!



Way to go Greg, absolutely beautiful! Great work!

WOW! from wool to a polishing pad? That is some nice work Greg!



Now what did you do with the truck in the first set of pics? :chuckle:

[Scottwax]

The truck turned out really nice! Looks pretty much swirl free and very deep and wet. Honestly, I doubt using Zaino over #21 would have made an appreciable difference in appearance. :)

Sorry I worded in weird. Its Zaino instead of #21. I highly doubt the Z will bond over #21 but I could be wrong. Thanks for the comments.



In regard to wool to polishing pad the EC/OP left some very minor holograms that the blackfire finishing polish aka po106ff cleans up to perfection very easily.

That paint looks CHERRY!

[Bigpoppa3346]

Very deep, wet and glowing. Seems that #21 is becoming a hot item around here. Great work!

I got a 12 oz sampler over a year ago and liked it but stopped using it for a while until I got a half gallon. Its what I use on my full details unless a Zaino upsell is purchased.
