Ed,, your car looks awesome with Zaino but I think Mother's or Maguire's would have done the same great job,,and we ALL know who would be making that false statement if you put that plate on your car However ,,,Honestly,,, I see no difference in a Zaino car and a Mother's or Maguire's polished car. I put Zaino on one of my fenders one time a few years back to see if it would be any different and I saw no difference, and no one else noticed either,, so why waste the money when I can get just as good a shine from a much less expensive brand?? Your car looks great, I just don't think Zaino is any better than the rest from my experience,, and they certainly overcharge for their product JMO

I agree^. Harry, I love meguairs, but their wax attracts a lot dust on my paint. Or is it just me?

I actually do see quite a difference in the depth of the shine, but I have six coats of Zaino on now. Corey even made a comment on Sunday that my paint looked like it had pearl in it, but that was all Zaino. I used to use Meguiar's religiously and have been on every car I've owned since I was 16, but after using Zaino I switched. The shine and longevity doesn't even come close in comparison.

For some reason there is a crazy with Zaino here but I havent seen on professional detailer use it. And 95% of your shine/depth from from prep work (compounding/polishing). Doesnt matter much what your LSP is.


Vann how do you like your rupes!?!?!

Hey Grant,,I have used Mothers for the last couple years and I wax my car once a year whether it needs it or not Mine doesn't seem to retain dust but then I also use a California Duster before each ride

I always say, "What ever works best for you, is the best you can get" Yours does have a deep shine to it now

I was just at 21st to drop off a couple more black Corvette emblems for the front and rear. Matt said the motor is in route and it will be done by the Oct 3rd weekend or BEFORE!! Unfortunately, I will have a break in period and will have to behave myself. You trouble makers need not encourage me to stray!

Break in is very important! But the fun will begin as soon as you hit that point of, "last mile of break in" I'm anxious to see how bad you leave me in your dust

That is going to be really hard. I am sure it's going to drive u nuts having the break in period, I know it will me and it's not even my car. Can't wait.

Haven't had the pleasure of using it yet! Maybe... hopefully... I'll get some free time next week. I've been insanely busy and I'm in dire need of a therapeutic detailing break!

I'm in Vann. It might be hard for me to stay off of a plane long enough to get behind the wheel.

Sounds like fun! Is Thomas going to get some work done? I hope that engine you saw in the crate has about that much HP.
