The Grond Chronicles : 2 Days of Zaino Lovin', et al. [Dialup: acute mortification]
With all the performance, stereo and bling mods I have been doing lately, poor old Grond has been seriously neglected in the waxer department.
So while getting ready for Cruise In, I thought it was time for Grond to get some Zaino Lovin'.
Day 1 : Remove FRCs, spray underhood with engine degreaser, rinse (no worries, I sealed my knock sensors last year).
Day 2: Wash body with Meguiers, claybar, wash with Dawn. Claybar again. Wash with Zaino Z7. Dry with water blade and leaf blower. Quick Detail with Zaino Z8.
Pause to help Stangkiller change the fluids in his car - flush brake fluid, change tranny and diff oil. Took the opportunity when he wasn't paying attention to remove his BSMs . Then fell over laughing as Stangkiller turns in to a waxer (see pics)
Back on target :
Day 3 : Wash and scrub wheels/tyres with Meguiers, then wash body with Zaino Z7, water blade dry then leaf blower dry.
Apply Scratch Out on entire car with orbital polisher. Let dry. Apply Wenol to wheels, exhaust tips and underhood bling (blower, charge pipes etc.) Polish off Wenol with drill and polishing wheel. Buff out Wenol. Next, buff out Scratch Out with orbital polisher. Apply Stoner "More Shine, Less Time" tyre dressing and let set. Quick detail of exterior with Zaino Z8, cleaning all door jambs etc.
Now I am finally ready for the application of Zaino proper - 8 coats of Z2 Pro plus ZFX
I will be done in a few hours

Rotors?
S., I took a look at your previous post when you painted your calipers, and I think your rotors are reversed, (left and right), on your front wheels. Shouldn't the cooling fins go the other way? Enlighten me.

If they are wrong, I'm not swapping them until I get a set of real brakes later this year (6 piston brakes )
