It has near 60k miles on it, but didn`t look too bad.

Got the pics when it was still light out, then dressed everything up. Also vac the interior, clean everything with APC 1-6 then 303 protectant. EI 20/20 on glass. He is gonna use some leatherique on the seats next w/e.
His wife was very happy.
He then called me to say that it rained on them on the way home. :(

Great work! Not such a rookie from the results! :cool: Almost looks a different color. By the way how did you like the Zaino and layering it?
P.S. I have been detailing for awhile and I am still a rook (always learnin) so 7 hrs shouldn`t get you down, I took 6hr today with a buddys truck. :beer_smil

Nice clean up man. The reason it took you 7 hrs is because you got a good eye for detailing. Its a gift ..LOL

Thanks Andrew! I have been using zaino for about 4 years, but just got a PC last month. Zaino is very easy to use. I always put it on super thin, so thin that its hard to see untill it hazes over. I apply it to the entire car then remove. IMO when I put it on thicker, there is no gain in shine, its just harder to remove.
I would like to try some natty`s blue over the zaino, especially on a dark color like this. Just need to order some soon.

How do you get a detail like this in seven hours? It takes that long on a Ford focus for me and I usually miss something. :redface:
LOL, I always marvel at what can be done in any period of time. Some short. Some long. It looks like the job was well spent as far as time is concerned. Very nice look!!
Have used both products but am still trying to produce results such as yours!!

Thanks! I did tear up some pads with this one. I`ll try and post pics later today of the damage.
I still think its too long.
Some of these guys here knock out something like this in 6 hours and thats will a full detail on the interior. Like I said the owner of the durango did help. He removed each product that I applied with the PC. But we did remove the roof racks from each side and tape all the trim and door handles up too.
EDIT It should say Z6 between each coat of Z2pro, Z8 was used at the end.

Real nice job some advice don`t top Z2PRO with natty`s first off you won`t see a differance 2nd you can`t layer Zaino anymore after you put Natty`s on it so you lose the protection factor of the zaino. With the old Z2 a layer of Nattys would really give you a wet shine but like I said with the new Z2PRO little or no differance have a great turkey day :eat:
