Chris, did you realize that rag had soap and water on it? How did you figure out how to use it on your car? Stephen supply you with directions? Did you know in advance that a bucket, rag and vacuume were the tools of choice for todays project? Looking good guy's.

Looking great as always! Black is a show winner when it's all Zaino'ed up.

Sidenote: You should really look into lowering that 4x4.

No, i went down there to change my oil and do a few wiring things....well, I forgot the lights at home, so i couldn't wire anything up...BUT, i did get the oils changed out and Stephen made me bleed my brakes, which also made a HUGE difference.


THE DAMNED OIL IS STILL IN THE CARPET!

The ONLY reason it is so high is my charge tube from the blower was touching the road. I had to raise the front by 0.5 inches.

Rick - love the new username (much better than Siriusvette )

Still a long way to go. After I buff out this coat, it's a coat of Z8 then another coat of Z2 Pro.

Luckily I only do this once a year

I just got into an argument with one of the ferrel children of the neighborhood after their ball came flying into my garage the 4th time, knocking my interior pieces to the pavement. I sware there should be a sportsman season...even if it's only bow hunting or blackpowder!


Carpets are in CLB is in but throwing codes... All guages light up now, Radar detector is hard wired into the car. alky shouldn't leak anymore...a ton of All Seal, and duct tape says it won't leak. Waxing is about to begin.

Looking good EG. This thread reminds me that it's about that time of year again. Where did I put the Z2? 8 Coats though? I did two over a year ago and it still looks great.

UPDATE :

5 coats on. Will finish the last 3 coats in the morning, then complete with Z8 and buff.

Yes, yes - EG is a waxer
