There's nothing quite like a freshly Zaino'd 330i...

For those that are skeptical about the Zaino process - here's a 3 month old (with heavy commuting) E90 with ClearBra, 1 coat of Z5, 2 coats of Z2, with Z6 and Z8 buffing. Judge for yourself, but I'm very pleased. And very tired...

Couldn't agree more...

Now If I can only find the time to add more coats (I have 2 coats of Z-5 and 1 of Z2 pro on the car right now).... I really found that a couple extra coats after the first 3 really adds to the look!!! :rocks:

I know what you mean - it took the better part of Sunday to wash and wax - and only one coat went on today! And now I'll have dead-arm all day Monday...

If It's that hard to put on and take off, then you are using too much.. I can get a coat on, let it dry, buffed it off and wipe down with Z-6 in less than an hour with not alot of effort. 1oz of polish should really be able to get you 3 coats (that's all I'll mix with ZFX at a time).

I suspected I might be using too much - it's just hard to see if I'm still getting any on there when it's real thin.

You should put just enough on that you can barely see it haze. B.T.W. if I'm ever in Norfolk can I get a tour of your other ride?

pawarrant,
That can certainly be arranged! Either Norfolk, or the Providence, Rhode Island area (New London Subase).

Thank you! That is 35% all around with the Pinnacle Series ceramic tint. I was very pleased with how it came out.
