BMW Fall Detail

[wchen]

i turned a few people at work on to Zaino. This one guy with a dark colored car loves it because he does not have to dust or wash often.



He says when he comes out of work the car is full of dust but when he gets home the dust is gone because of the slick surface zaino provides.



Anybody other zaino users notice this???? Does Klasse have the same affect ???????????



Now everyone and their mom wants to use it because they do not like hi maintenece on their vehicles but im not sure that is a good reason for them to purchase Zaino.

It doesn`t keept it dust free, but pickup seems to be less.



Also, the car always looks clean to me....from a few feet away even when it is dusty.

[ISLANDSBEST]

Agreed.

[tonysandiego]

is always a good thing! I`ve noticed an improvement after the Zaino treatment as well.

It attracts dust as badly with Zaino, Klasse or Pinnacle. (Ok, Blitz was worse.) Well, at least my car is silver and it doesn`t show like black.



I am thinking of getting some of those rubber strips to trail back off the frame. Maybe I can get some with Audi logo`s on them.

[DETAILKING]

I am surprised you don`t notice a dust improvment. Do you always finish up with Z6? Or are you using another spray detailer with zaino? That could be it.



Also, what kind of environment is the car parked in...trees? lots of dust?

[Brad B]

No, sticking with Z6. Garaged mostly. Nothing out of the ordinary. Never under trees. (Sap season) It`s not any worse than any car, just not any better. I can live with it.



Could be by magnetic personality.

[DETAILKING]

You mean to tell me you don`t have a filtered HVAC system in there designed to CLEAN ROOM specs?! LOL

[imported_RIC]

I haven`t noticed that my vehicle attracts or repels dust any better using zaino on it. Maybe it would have more dust without it?



I QD or wash often so I really haven`t observed this and don`t feel like doing a product A vs Product B side by side comparison.



I do know that in pollen season it would be full of dust within 3 hours after either washing, QDing or laying down another coat of polish.



I also notice that even with lots of dust the shine still shines through and you hardly see the dust unless you are very close to the finish.

So some see a difference and some do not. I wish this site had a polling system.

Hi RIC. I have noticed the same thing. The car can actually be dirty, but if the dust is undisturbed, I think I am the only one who notices. The shine is so intense, that even when covered with a thin layer of dust, it creates such an effect on people, they would never think that the car is, by my standards, dirty.



As to attracting dust, I have not experienced this. I think that, minimally, the cars clean up a lot more easily after being Z`ed.

[imported_brianshaeffer]

I`ve only used Zaino on my bimmer, but I do Z6 every day, and every day, my towel is loaded with dust residue by the time I`m through. Most of it comes from the boot end and the front wheel well areas.

Hi All,
I have been talking about this for a while now, so I finally completed my full fall detail on my 2006 BMW 33oxi. This was my first time using a pc, and I would like to once again thank Angelo for his help.:thumbup:

Here is what I did:
*Tires and wheel wells cleaned with Adams APC and car shampoo with brushes.
*Wheels cleaned with P21S Gell and various brushes soaked in car shampoo.
*Sprayed car down with ONR at QD strength.
*Washed with ONR (2 bucket w/ Grit Guard).
*Dried w/ leaf blower and WW.
*Clayed w/ ClayMagic Blue Clay and PB S&W as lube.
*IPA wipedown
*Polish with PB SSR2 using orange pad.
*IPA wipedown.
*Finish Polish with Optimum Finishing Polish using green finishing pad.
*IPA wipedown.
*Dressed tires and wheel wells using Megs High Endurance Gel using a foam paint brush.
*Sealed wheels with BFWD x2.
*Sealed paint with BFWD x3 with BF Spray Sealant between coats.
*Cleaned windows w/ SCG Clearly Better Glass
*Sealed windows w/ Optimum OS.
*Dressed trim w/ Black again.

I was only able to get out about 80% of the swirls (the SSR2 didn`t have enough cut), but I am very pleased with the way it turned out. I now see why everyone raves about WD. It really is an awesome product with remarkable slickness and shine. I was going to top it with 845IW, but it looks too good to put anything over it.

Pics to follow.

Enjoy!
