Default Fun Night Ahead

Just got home to find a package from ups.. and it looks like a fun night indeed will be ahead. If you don't know I just bought this car saturday and haven't got the best chance to clean her up and I was completely out of stock of zaino since my 04 350z. So therefore it was time to make the order and treat this vette the right away. I will try and post pictures tonight after i get done if its not dark.. gotta let this black beauty cool off

Hey Rich, looks like you have your work cut out for you. Can you give me a link to where you bought all that. I actually have never had the opportunity to try or use that. Although I have heard a lot of people here on CF talk about it, is it really all that?

I don't see a jar of Z18 clay bars??? Just run down to the local autoparts they all carry clay bars now a days. Any will work.

We expect pictures after all the hard work!

The have a good starter package but doesn't include the concours order them as separates. The concours is the softest towel you will ever feel. (Sonüs are excellent detailing towels and come with a guarantee of product).

Don't forget the claybar...

I'm quite happy w/ my results. I use the Cannon 100% cotton towels that Zaino recommends. I haven't had a chance to try any of the micro fiber towels, but see what you think...



Good luck! (You're gonna love that Z8 stuff!)
