Greetings, :wavey I`m a long time lurker (~11 months), but a first time

poster. I am a reformed car neglector. :o I`ve recovered and become

an obsessive detailer over the last 8 months. It was actually

looking at all of Scottwax`s detail jobs that caused my recovery.

Anyway, been experimenting with many products lately. Just gave

the Zaino process a try over the weekend. Holy-freakin` moley.... :eek:



Is it real? Is it reflection? You be the judge....

The process....



The Outside:

1. Wash with Meguiars NXT Wash.

2. Clay Bar w/ Z6 lubrication.

3. Wash with diluted Meguiars NXT Wash.

4. Polish w/ Scratch X (to remove some slight swirls - w/PC)

5. One Coat Z5/ZFX (wait remove)

6. Z6 Spray

7. One Coat Z2/ZFX (wait remove)

8. Z6 Spray

9. One Coat Z2/ZFX (wait remove)

10. Touch up buffing here and there with softest MF towel.



The Tires/Wheels:

1. Clean with Mothers Wheel Polish (remove break dust)

2. Treat Rubber with Meguiars NXT Tech Protectant

3. Wax wheels with NXT Tech Wax



The Inside:

1. Rubber/plastic surfaces with 303 Aerospace Protectant

2. Leather with Lexol

3. Vacuum rugs.



Seems like a lot of work, but I now have a small detailing obsession.



Time to go buzz around the neighborhood.

Looks Great!



I hear what you mean about becoming addicted. They really should put a warning page up before you reach the forums!

The pic looks good. Get some with the sun shining on the car.



I love zaino. Z6 is an amazing product. It can bring back your shine in 5 min.

Good prep work!



You can`t go wrong with Zaino and dark finishes.



Have you guys seen the design for the new RL? It looks amazing! Acura`s new lineup is the best its ever been.

Very nice! Would like to see a Zaino-ed car in person sometime. I only use their leather products.



Enjoying that sound system? How is it?
