SuperSport Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Sinister, Looks great man, does that wax polish off pretty easily or do you have to polish it around in order for it not to look streeked or blotchy. Right now i use Zymol and it looks great when it is done, but a pain in the butt to get off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginnie ss Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Richard, SHINY BLACK!! I just received my "ZAINO Ultimate Protection Show Car Kit and can't wait to use it on my SS. Did you use the ZFX on your SS? Alot of steps but well Worth it. Ginnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmesSS Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Nothing like a fresh coat of Zaino. I noticed the Arctic Cat on the back window. What do you ride? I have a ZR700 myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSminneapolis Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 i am sure the pics are great, it is a black SS. but DSL sucks. takes 2 minutes to open up one of them. the bowtie looks like those that they had on the old "sport" trucks that chevy came out with, friend of mine had a 2dr tahoe with one.

SinisterSS Posted June 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 In response to the questions - I've got a '02 ZR600EFI and am restoring a '74 El Tigre this summer. I bleed green. The Zaino - it took about 20 hours spread over 4 days. And yes, it is easy to buff off compared to Zymol - that's what I've been using for 10 years up until now, Zaino all the way. The process - 1. Washed the SS with a pressure washer using normal "car" soap 2. Hand washed all surfaces with Dawn dish soap 3. Went over ALL surfaces with the Z18 Clay bar with a bit of Z7 soap & water for lubricant to remove paint contaminants 4. Cleaned up the clay step residue with Z6 polish enhancer 5. Applied first coat of Z5 + ZFX polish to fill minor swirl marks 6. Buffed off the Z5 7. Applied second coat of Z6 8. Put on the second layer of Z5 + ZFX ---End of Day 1--- 9. Buffed off 10. Third coat of Z6 11. First coat of Z2 +ZFX ---End of Day 2--- 12. Removed Z2 13. Applied second layer of Z2 + ZFX ---End of Day 3--- 14. Buffed off Z2 15. Applied fourth layer of Z6 (the Z6 was beading up on the hood and running off before I could wipe it with a towel!) ---End of Day 4--- 16. Applied another coat of Z6. ---Time to get dirty!--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
