Good evening,



Yes, some of you might have seen this one already. I did a simple wash `n Zaino on this SUV back in early April. The customer called me and said that he wanted it all polished out, and I had some time on Sunday to take care of it. And he had a surprise for me waiting, more on that later...



1) Foam with Citrus Wash `n Gloss (strong mix to strip Zaino)

2) Wash with Citrus Wash `n Gloss and ShMITT (strong mix to strip Zaino)

3) Megs Multi Piece on the wheels, with DB wheel brush to get them clean

4) Dried with Sonus Der Wunder towel

5) M105 w/ Flex / Orange CCS / 4 / on hood (didn`t work)

6) SIP w/ Flex / Orange CCS / 5

7) 85RD w/ Flex / White CCS / 5

8) Zaino Z1

9) Zaino Z5 Pro

10) Zaino Z2 Pro

11) Megs Last Touch wipe down



- P21S Metal Polish/Nevr Dull on exhaust pipes

- Adam`s VRT on tires

- Last Touch on wheels, door seals

- Duragloss 751 on all windows

- 1Z Cockpit Cleaner/Plastic Cleaner on all plastic and vinyl

- 1Z Leather Condition on all leather (great stuff!!!)

- Adam`s Undercarriage Spray



The hood has some deep water etching that came off well with SIP. For the deeper RIDS, I decided to give the M105 a try. That stuff FLASHED QUICKER THAN A DUTCH WHORE DURING MARDI GRAS! I got about 5-10 seconds of working time out of it, horrible. No matter what speed I used, and this was all done in a climate controlled garage. Gave that up VERY quickly!



Anyway, on with the photos...



Upon arrival at 9:30am, already 85 outside...

Looking good. How do you like the CR Spotless? What kind of life are you getting outta the filters. (assuming its yours and you use it often)

Nice work, and good macro shots! I also like the dutch whore analogy. Try cutting that 105 with some OC (70/30). It gives you a good amount of working time, and cuts (and finishes) very well. The recommendation came from Scottwax, so I figured I HAD to give it a try...and very happy that I did.
