View Full Version : No no it is NOT Zaino
A Silver metalic Acura CL 3.2 1 1/2 years never detailed before today. In my garage on another beatiful made-for-detailing type of day. No radio, no "frig" and no TV just me and my cyclo.

That looks great! :bow If it`s not Zaino, what did you use on that car? I`m a little curious because we have an Accord with the same silver paint.

Its simply a leveler followed directly by a liquid sealer. Both were applied with the cyclo, only the first step was applied with green pads and the final with finishing pads. I`d preffer to add a third step and glaze but decided not to for this particular detail in order to show off the metallic and save time as well.
On the tires I used some left over sample of Eagle One. The rims were moderately scratched so they recieved a heavy polishing which couldn`t have worked out any better. That`s really it besides the loads of labor, mainly leveling, to get the paint in shape. I am actually used to using an more aggressive paint poilsh. Instead, I opted for a new product I picked up recently. Its very mild which is probaly why the product is named Light Cut. It got the job done but, only after I had applied twice as much on top of what was needed, and was satisfied with the finish.
The interior was vaccumed to begin. I did not bother to shampoo or apply dressing. The black leather was cleaned with Malco L&P Cleaner followed by a second "wipe down" with a product sample called RAM. This second wipe down I felt was necessary to eliminate any residue left by the L&P. Next, I proceeded to clean up the dash, vents, crevices, cup holders and consoles with the RAM. Windows are last to get cleaned and finally the MF mit is used on all the surfaces I want dust free.

Ryan - please don`t be snobbish, and tell us the brand names and what part number the leveler and sealer are.... We want to know, even if its not Zaino..... so what if it isnt Zaino you won`t get bashed.....
I am not snobbish. Honestly, I dont know every little detail about the products I used. Only that they work. Besides, if I were a snob I`d have no reason to post my work for all to see. Just try and enjoy.
Thanks

Ryan that Acura looks amazing, polymers seem to work best on Silver cars, they really bring out a mirror like finish that you got.
Good Job! :xyxthumbs
BTW: SLD, there are some no name polymers out there that litterally have no name. I found one online (dont remember where) I don`t know if this applies with what Ryan used, but I agree with him that it looks great, and if he choses not to share what he used... thats just fine! Just sit back and enjoy the pictures. :)
