OK, OK steve8 and DEFCON5 threw down the gauntlet and detailed their car....so I got out my newly acquired Zaino kit to give it a tray. Used the car wash, clay bar and polish......with a little help from my "Son" Andy....





WHEW.....that's a lot of work.

Wow it sure looks good! Nothing like a freshly detailed ride . It looks like its been lowered if so did you drop it with the factory lowering bolts?

Agreed. Perfect stance with polished thin spokes.

slothman- Don't really get down to Phoenix much. We have three car clubs in Flagstaff with Friday Night Cruise-ins....or did anyway. Nothing happening now with everything in turmoil. About the only thing I go out of the house for is hiking in the Forest, driving my C5 and riding my CBR1000rr.

Adwest- The front is lowered all the way on stock bolts, the rear has aftermarket lowering bolts. I'm pretty happy with how it sits. Any lower and I run into real bottoming issues.

I really like that stance and my car has the polished thin spoke wheels also. You posted the pic that I have been looking for and it gave me the push I needed to do mine .

The more of that Zanio stuff you put on the deeper it will get. Looks great. Read over their website and try doing their suggestion on how to apply and remove. It will help to maximize the affect of their product’s. I’ve been using it for almost 20 years.

It’s been quite a few years, I’m sorry I don’t remember.
