Default Zaino Lesson From Wolfdogs

Last week after many nights of thinking, how can I introduce myself to Wolfdogs and get him to show me the secrets of applying Zaino. I sent him a private message and couldn't believe his response - Well damn, broh!!! Lets do it!!!!

He gave me his telephone number and we scheduled a "Zaino Day" which was yesterday. The Zaino Master knows his stuff. He put me through five hours of training and turned my corvette into a "Monterey Beast."

Wolfdogs' attention to detail is second to none. Everytime we had a minute to rest, he would fine another part of the car to detail. He killed me. He even insisted on taking pictures after we were done.

Wolfdogs' beautiful corvette is quietly sitting in the garage and is a must-see. I cannot thank him enough for spending a "Zaino Day" with me.

Your car looks beautiful. Wolfdog knows his stuff and isn't one to keep the secrets to himself as his generosity of helping you demonstrates.

Well done to both of you.

OMG! You climbed the mountain to sit with the Master? The Zen God of Zaino? How'd you get the Vette up there?

Dude, that Vette really POPS! CL

well, he left out some important parts: 1. the man took notes and worked side by side with me, I did one half while he did the other........ 2. He had the stash and was ready rock. 3. After we finished, he went back and went over everything because, now..... he's gonna be a detail monster! LOL!!! that everyday driver rocks.....and i will from now on!

Most of all, another cool vette owner as a friend......... Ive said through the years, no matter what toys I have owned "we are all in this together'...........

Enjoyed doing it, and enjoyed even more making a new friend.

as an FYI for yall on what we did:

1. washed/dryed with liquid dawn dish soap.
2. clayed the whole car.
3. washed/dryed with zaino z7 car wash
4. applied a layer of z5pro/zfx
5. while it was curing: z16 on all rubber (weather strips, tires, etc), solid black plastic (back lower bumper valance and grill included), and engine bay.
6. buffed off polish and followed with light coat of Z6 gloss enhancer.
7. applied another coat of z5pro/zfx to include one coat to door sills.
8. while it was curing, z9 and z10 leather to interior. also hand polish tail pipe tips.
9. buffed off second coat, applied a fine coat of z6 gloss enhancer.

stood back and grinned!

WD - Z-8 on the leather? I thought Z-8 was the super gloss detailer? Did you mean Z-9/Z-10 on the leather?

LOL!

I've been reading your "How to Zaino your Vette" chronicles for almost a half year and it looks like the student just caught a slip from the master!
