Hi I`m a newbie when it comes to car detailing. A few weeks ago I asked for some opinions on the Zaino process and got some great responses.



Here thus are the results... unfortunately it just started drizzling so no sun pics yet (this is Oregon)



paint:

- Dawn wash

- Clay (Clay Magic)

- Z7 Wash

- Entire car Z-PC by hand (ouch... I need a PC!)

- Z6

- Z-AIO

- Z6

- Z-5 Pro

- Z6



tires:

- Z16 x2 (also used this on all doorseals)



rims:

- Z7 wash (I need that Meguiar wheel brush to get into the part behind the spokes)

- Z-AIO



Windows:

- Stoner Invisible Glass

- Z-AIO



Now I need to get me some Z-CS & Z8! :)



Thanks for lookin`

Looks like you got the "complicated" ;) system down the first time. Car looks great and can`t wait to see some Sun shots.



Car looks brand new and I like that model. Is it? My son has a Mazda 6.

Great detailing!

Now go rest those arms and order a PC, some Z8 and CS. :wavey

Yeah the system wasn`t so much complicated as it was time consuming.... ;) So far spent about 7 hours on the car.



It`s a Mazda 3s 2005, we bought it a month ago. The previous owners took good care of it, but the car was covered in swirl marks. I got some of it out with the hand application of Z-PC, but a 7424 would definitely help to get everything smoothed out.



Thx :)

Great job! I love the color.



Take a few sun shots to show off the flake in that paint!

Thx all for the comments :) I can`t wait to see it in the sun... I`ll put up more pictures when it decides to come out.



I`m in Springfield, OR.

You Mazda 3 looks great, especially for doing all the work by hand. :up



I remember using ZPC by hand before I got a PC. :chuckle:



Adding Clear Seal and Z8 will bring your finish to the next level.



ZAIO on the wheels give them a deep cleaning and will last a good while. Simple Z7 washes with an old mit and the brake dust will come right off.

Here are some sun pictures.... you can see the purple/ blue flake and the significant swirling that remains. I put on a second coat of Z5-Pro, but I guess I need to start

-> :buffing: now!

Try some halogen or incandescent light to see the swirls if you don`t want to wait for the best weather.
