    Todays Detail`s

    It was Mercedes Benz day for me today. ML 500, SL500, E500. Zaino was used on all cars (z2, z5 and z6 between coats). The wheels were very dirty and required some mothers and i also sprayed on some NXT booster wax for a nice quick shine. BTW, i had a helper and that is why i was able to do three cars in one day. Enjoy.

    Very nice cars !!! I had a helper today also, but I think your cars were a little nicer than mine (just a little !!! ha ha ha). Today I detailed a 1989 560 SL, and 2000 Saab 9-3 Convertible, and a 1994 Nissan Maxima. Yes a 1994 Maxima !!! My forearms are killing me from buffing with my Milwaulkee all morning !!!

    I love that silver SL !!!

    I noticed that you use Zaino on most of your cars. What do you use prior to applying Zaino to remove paint defects, swirls ,and scratches. I used Zaino Z5 and Z2 a couple of years ago on my 2000 Black Mustang GT and gave up on it after about 5 or 6 coats. I found that it did little to hide my wash swirls and there was not many of them to begin with. I really consider Zaino more of a durable high gloss sealant than a polish. How long do you have to wait for Zaino to cure. When I used it (about 3-4 years ago) it took too long for me to use on customers cars but I bought it for my own personal use.

    Either way the cars look great and you obviously are catering to an excellent clientelle.

    Zaino has changes a lot since you have used it. Now there is Zaino with "zfx". This makes the zaino cure/dry in about 20 minutes. This makes it possible to apply multiple coats in one day.

    I also use Zaino from time to time and I must say I like the product. In general, I don`t think most people on DC like it, but I think its an underrated product. It is very shinny, even though it might not provide a warm carnauba look and its durability is unmatched.

    Yes, the durability is what i love. You can top it off with carnuba and the result will be awsome.
