As far as the poodle shot goes.....

good one!

You have to also remember they are not using the same camera, same light outside, lots of factors in pics. That's why I never get too impressed right away until I see results in Person.

Not taking away from anyone's hard work here, Car looks awesome, just saying no 2 camera shots are equal.

Thanx, I will try soon. This animal is very difficult to photograph, it's like he knows when the shutter is gonna go off and he moves... That pic of him sitting took at least 50-75 tries!!! I'll try it tho, I wanna take him for a ride with the top down, I think he'll love it!!!

All this Zaino talk convinced me to order a complete package last week. I as well have been following not all but most threads posted by the master. Time to get to work this weekend. Your car looks super sick.

And I am using a Cannon 300D Digital SLR with an 18-55mm lens.. It's kindof expensive, but it has to be because the man behind the camera can't take a picture if his life depended on it!!!

DASHZNT,
Thanks, I actually enjoy detailing my rides. It will be the first time I attempt the " Zaino " processs but the results I see from you and the rest just motivate me to get mine shining like that. Wolfdogs threads, is like wow....That paint looks super wet and the reflection is crazy.
I want to try the Zaino process on my show truck, two tone black and brandywine candy paint truck and see how wet I can get that truck to look. This weekend may be a long weekend spent in the garage! :0

Ok Wolf can you or someone else please tell me what all I need to order to get the job done. Is there a kit that has everything including instruction on how to do the job?

PS: I see your Wolf and raise you a couple of duck dogs!

Any feedback on mixing the Z2 / Z5 (50/50 mix or you mean alternating coats?). I had an interest in adding a Z2 on top of my 3x Z5/Z6.

Any feedback on that is welcome.

Mix them together 1oz of Z5 and biz of Z2 then 8 drops of ZFX and shake for at least a minute or more... Then apply like you always do, you should have enough for 2 coats and you can di the wheels twice maybe three times and the front facia and mirrors as well.

That is about double the ZFX per oz. that is recommended (if that is what you are doing).

The car looks great. I use the Z5 and just recently added the CS. Though, I admit, I'm not sure the CS is doing anything.
