First Click & Brag/buddies G35 coupe.

I did this car this morning, The owner uses (used) RejeX on it almost a year ago. Now, the car beaded "pretty good" when I first sprayed it, and my opinion on RejeX escalated.......but, after my Megs Gold Class wash, it no longer beaded, I think I was tricked by dirt.



The owner is a friend of mine, and honestly, he takes great care of his car, I cringed when I heard that he hadn`t waxed it in a year, but that meant that it would look and feel that much better when I was done. The car has had a few spots repainted in it`s life, but I think whoever did it, did a great job.



Here`s my process, no before shots as I got started late, so I didn`t want to waste any more of my buddies time.....Jeremy, if your reading this, sorry for my late "arrival".



The sun was not cooperating, so I will see if he has time to get some sun pics tomorrow for me.

If any avid Zaino users are reading this, I only put two coats of Z5pro on it, because I had read that the Z5 helps light/metallic cars more than Z2pro. Should I go ahead and throw a couple coats of Z2 on it anyway? I am meeting up with him in San Diego to go to a G35 meet and I`m going to be alone with the car for two days prior to the meet, and I was thinking of doing two coats of Z2pro, and do the Z8 wipedown before we leave for the meet to give it the extra gloss.



I hope there is a G35 of the same color there so I can get a pic of them next to eachother and see the Zaino difference!



Thanks in advance guys!

For my metalics I have put z5x2 and z2x1 and have had good results. z2 is supposedly more reflective, whereas z5 is more deep. z2 seems to make it a little too flaky to some people, but I have found it enhanced the z5 a pretty good deal.



What did you use to get the bugs off the front?

I scrubbed with a microfiber and Megs Gold class concentrated spray (two capfulls in a spray bottle, half filled with water), its pretty effective, plus I clayed it afterwards.



I really wanted it to pop the metallics, so hopefully the Z2 will help when I put on a couple coats of it this comming week.

I think it looks great the way it is. Why not start with using Z8 after each wash for a few weeks first? Probably will give as much pop as topping with Z2 with a lot less effort.

I gave my buddy a quarter bottle of Z8, taught him how to use it, but I think this comming thursday when I meet up with him I will put on a coat or two of Z2pro.





My new question is, will I have to activate the Z2 with ZFX if I just applied the ZFX`ed Z5 just one week before, or is that only if I put on more than one coat?



Thanks for the props guys, keep em` commin!



Let me know what you guys honestly think. The owner is not a member here, but he is watching.

Looks nice!



Do you have a PC? If so a ZPC polishing with an orange pad at 6 might have brought out more "bling" in the paint.



If you are doing just one coat of Z2pro then no ZFX needed. Myself I would do a wash, Z2pro, then Z8.

No PC:nixweiss





If I lay some Z8 over the Z2pro, will I have to activate the Z2 with ZFX?

No need for ZFX in this case.

OK, so I went to Anaheim with my buddy, for a G35 meet/cruise to San Diego (best weather in the world HANDS DOWN!!!), the day before we went, I put on two coats of Z2p for him, here is what we did, along with pics.........I drool every time I see clean Infiniti paints.



Here is a pic of the wash, this is one week of being under a cover, with 3 coats of Z5pro, along with Z8...
