My first real detailing effort. Claying was not needed as the paint was very smooth, so I saved some time. Process was wash with Dawn to remove the Blitz wax layer I had applied shortly after I got the car, base of Z5 with ZFX, two layers of Z2 with ZFX with layers of Z6 in between, Z-CS, topped with Z-8. I applied it all by hand, but used a PC with a microfiber bonnet over a lambswool pad to buff off the residual. Wheels have a layer of Rejex and an added layer of Z2 as I had some left over after the third coat was on. It was a very sunny day, so pictures were tough to get that weren't washed out from at least one angle. Pretty shiny IMHO for Space Gray.

Looks great Lou! You can't go wrong with Zaino and Rejex. I'm a fan of both.

Nice results mate...
What a nice weather out there...
I'm in Washington, the weather sucks.
It's raining all day and it happens everyday.

Looks fantastic. You will pleased with how durable Zaino is ... in 3 months it will still bead water like you just polished it.
