Zaino is the best. Your car looks great!!!

Now that you started with a clean base, just use Z2 with the flash cure accelerator so you can layer it faster and don't have to let it cure it between coats. When you build up the layers, look out!!! Looks like you can dive right into the paint. The more layers, the deeper the shine.

The trick is to keep buying more cabinets

I've found there is no alternative to polishing the barrels of the CCWs with a little Mother's Aluminum Polish I have both a regular and a Mini.

I have a little experiment going on with a buddy. He just clay-barred and buffed his C6 and is going to apply Rejex. We're going to compare in six months. However I plan on cheating and will have at least ten more coats of Z2 applied by then I've used the Rejex on the CCWs and so far I'm happy with results, however I'm gonna pick up some Zoop sp? and see how I like that.

Well....... I would say day one was clay-barring and buffing out the paint with ZPC. figure maybe six hours, I work slow. Day two - three coats of Z2 with flash accelerator added approx. four hours. Day three spent about two hours with the Z5, two coats. Finally day four, spent another two hours with the Z5 and finishing with Z8. Understand, I was in no hurry and was just enjoying the time. Fourteen hours.

I plan on doing just that. I'll probably skip the accelerator and just apply one coat at a time and simply allow the cure time unless I plan on applying two or three coats at a time.

I only have 23 coats of Z2 and Z5 on mine. Kinda shines even at the track.



Good stuff!
