Detailed my sister's car on Saturday. I learned three things.....Zaino is still incredible on metallic, the syringe thing (do a search) saves alot of product, and I need a new camera. No good before pics.



2002 Nissan Maxima GLE, 67k miles, car hasn't been washed in probably a year. It had no wax on it anywhere and what appeared to be 1/2 a Dr. Pepper on the passenger side wheel. I had to use #80 by hand to remove whatever it was. She has a 2 year old, so you can imagine the condition of the inside. Sorry, I was to embarrased to take after pics because all I had time for was vacuum, dress everything, and clean the windows.



SSR2.5 Megs polishing pad/PC

IPA wipedown

ZFX'd Z2pro x 3 by hand with a syringe

Meg's Hyper-dressing on tires 2:1 and 3:1 in wells

FX spraywax on wheels

Rain-x on glass

I thought this was a cool pic, doesn't do it justice what I saw in person. This is just after SSR2.5, no Zaino yet:

for anybody who was totally confused like myself about the syringe method...

Instead of a vial you can use a syringe it’s more economical ‘cause you can get the last drop out of it, and the vial apears kinda hard to get the verry last out:

My wife works in a Vet-clinic, and she can get me 60Ml(= 2ounces) syringes.

First I put a plug into the tip of the syringe then I put the Z and at last the ZFX in it.

Put the plunger in , but just at the verry beginning : the air compresses , no prob in doing so. shake, let rest and shake again. Put syringe with the tip upwards so the Z-ZFX can collect at the plunger and away from the tip.

It won't take a minute, take the plug out , but put your applicator near the tip 'cause a drop or two will come out.

Gently push the plunger 'till all the air is out.

You're ready to Z



I think I have a few syringe's in the garage, will have to give this a try.
