Well Ladies and Gents, I finally came around to get my mother`s, father`s car detailed by myself over the course of the past few weeks and got some pics to share. Sorry but I dont know how to post into a thread and cant decide which pics to post anyway. So you can view the pics on the Autopia Gallery under 01BlueCLS.

The following is a description of what was used on what car.



Applied Everything except P21S with PC (including the Zaino), I used the Yellow, orange, white and gray pads in conjuction with its proper polish, wax sealant etc. All MF`s were used, no terry cloths what so ever.



1. 2004 Acura TL Desert Mist Champagne (Fathers)

Mother`s Clay Bar, and a total of 8 coats of

Zaino Z5 and Z2 over the past 2 months. Pads used: Grey



2. 2000 Infiniti I30 Dark Forest Green (Mothers)

Claybar, 1Z UPP, Menzerna FP, Klasse AIO,

and 2 coats of P21S. Pads used: Orange, White, Gray



3. 2001 Acura CL-S Aegean Blue (Mine)

Mothers Claybar, Poorboys SSR2.5 Menzerna IP,

Menzerna FP, Klasse AIO, 5 Coats of Z5 and

2 coats Z2, P21S x1 Pads Used: Yellow, orange, white, gray.



Keep in mind that all of this was done within the past two months, and the pics taken were fairly recent, within a few weeks. Also keep in mind that my car is outside 24/7 365. But my parents cars of course stays in the garage.

All three I wash every 5-7 days with Zaino wash and sometimes NXT wash. All three Qd`s after a wash with Z6 Enhancer, and Eagle Wipe and Shine. Very happy with the results of the products i have used.

Very nice. The CL really pops! Aegean Blue has always been one of my favorite colors.

I am loving the clouds off the CL

Appreciate all the comments so far...



SK2003TypeS - I love your TL, that is the car i wanted before I got the CL. I love my two doors, but i love the Front end of the TL even more not to mention the fact that the Tl lip kit would be awesome to have. By the way, nice color choice!! :xyxthumbs



The only thing i hate about my CL besides the fact that it has to be outside 24/7 are the swirls seem to come back every month or so. THe color is like black in the sense of visible swirls. Maybe I need to re-visit my washing techniques approach a little better.



Yea, the pics of my CL were taken on a cloudy/sunny day, i love the reflections it gave off.

I like the pics on page 2 where the sun shines on parts of the car making it look like the paint changes color.



I think the next Wax i want to try is Pinnacle Souve (if i can see my self spending 60 bucks on the wax for next spring. And i want to try Natty`s. THe P21S is really amazing stuff and easy to use, but of course being autopian i must try different things

01bluecls, Thanks It was a tough decision to go with the TL. I just like the lines a little better. Also, this is my first 4 door car, so it was a little weird at first, but it`s really nice to have people being able to get in without having me move....hehe.



Ya gotta love the color. And whether it`s been Zaino or NXT or whatever, it really pops.



Currently mine is outside 24/7 as well. The past 2 winters I`ve had the luxury of my neighboors garage. And hopefully by this winter, if all goes well, I`ll have my own.



I can`t get myself to pick up Pinnacle`s Souveran yet, but I know I`ll eventually buy it. Just keep an eye on the vendor`s deals, and you can pick it up for under $50 sometimes.

Oh yeah....and that hood pic should be shrunk down for your avatar
