Absolutely beautiful. JB offers appeal unachievable by any other color. Pure, classic, simple, the 'basic' non-metallic colors are timeless. Good looking car.
Where were the photos taken? Looks to be some sort-of non-public accessible deal.

Zaino does a great job. Its very easy to apply and it smells like you can eat it. Surface prep is the key. After I picked the car up from the dealership I used my flex polisher and went over the whole car with Menzerna Po106ff (finishing polish). I've been trying different things on the paint, but I seem to always come back to Zaino. The Z-6 spray detailer is fantastic and leaves no streaks. |

The photo's were taken in a new area in my community. There's tons of area's where houses are going to be built (if the economy ever recovers), the roads are paved, but no houses

Zaino is easy to use. Apply Z-5, let it set for 10-30min and remove. Apply the Z-2 in the same fashion.
I already had prepped my paint a few weeks back with my flex polisher and some Menzerna po106ff finishing polish. This is what really takes time. I could easily spend the whole afternoon polishing the car with my flex. However, once this is done, upkeep is very simple with the Zaino Line. |

I ended up going over the whole car with Menzerna po106ff. I had to hit a part of my door with some po83(Super Intense polish) to remove a nice scratch that was there. There are still some very fine defects in the paint only visible with the Halogen lights, they could be removed but would require a stronger polish, I'm happy with the way it is right now. |

I remember the photos of John's paint as received from his dealer, like his, mine was scratched, barely better. John's hood was hammered, worst damage to mine was around the side mirrors. Be aware, should your car disembark from Oxnard, there is a chance shoddy prep can occur, scrutinize your car.

Gorgeous car. It's the same color combo I ordered, so now I have some temporary pics to show people until mine comes! :biggrin:
I'm glad there's another Zaino fan in the house. I have intentions of prepping and protecting my car the same way! :thumbup:
