Don't want to start a holy war...but

It is a long time since I met you last time
In these days I did not contact you just because I want to forget you
But please tell me how I can do that, my dear.
I am listening to the song right here waiting again and again and missing you now
It has been a custom to miss you everyday
I want to start a new life, but I can not
They say missing one person is just akin to drinking a bottle of icy water
And then it takes a long time to melt into scalding tears
Can you imagine that feeling, my dear?
wow gold
I took it for granted that our love will last forever
But in the corner of life you turn left
And I still stand at the corner
wotlk gold
If we knew the result would we have fallen in love?
If there is next life, please remember your promise, ok?
Wherever you go and whatever you do
wow gold
I will be right here waiting for you
I loved you in the past
And I still love you now
I will love you in the future
I will keep my promise to you forever
Bless for you, my dear
I will stay at the place where you left
And waiting for you

Right here waiting for you

The forums at Autopia.org are a great source of this kind of info.

After looking at a customer's Ford F-150 (black) and his 2001 Boxster (dark blue),
I am taking his advice and a gamble on the products on zainobros.com and just ordered the $118 kit for my black '01 Boxster.
This guy was turned on to the product line by another friend who has a black Corvette that he says has five coats of the product and it is like a mirror.

The Zaino process also starts with Dawn Ultra dishwashing liquid and goes from there.

Wish me luck. I will post the results of my efforts when I get the product.

Anybody else using the Zaino products? Results?

ZAINO is the best I have ever seen or used. I have used it for years and it can be an addiction as the more coats of the product you are willing to put, the deeper the shine becomes, even on light colored vehicles.

I am a satisfied Zaino user.

Here is a link to my thread with instructions and pictures:

Definitely get a random orbit buffer. Brand doesn't really matter as long as its powerful and has variable speeds (including FAST). I actually use a BOSCH random orbit sander. Makes no difference.

The method described in this thread (dawn, clay, etc.) is correct. Again, details in my thread.

I recommend two products:

1 - Zaino ZPC is a "mild" polish. I have a few different buffer pads, and I generally apply it with a soft white finishing pad. That is usually more than enough to remove oxidation and hairline scratches. If you need more, you can use a firmer pad on the buffer. Z-PC is a great product. Amazing results. I strongly recommend you make this your go-to polish.

2 - Zaino offers various sealants that can be used together. I use BOTH the Z-2 and the Z-5. They offer different levels of "optical clarity". I use the accelerant which allows you to apply multiple coats in a day. I've done 10 in a weekend... The Z-5 has some "hiding" qualities that are useful as the first coat over the polish. The Z-2 is more "optically perfect", some folks like it as a finish coat -- especially on a dark colored car. I recommend it (see my pictures).

Also, if your paint is seriously messed up, you can go with a stronger polish. I also use Manzerna Intensive Polish (not a Zaino product). If you use it with a stronger buffing pad (say yellow), it will pretty much remove any scratch or defect.

If your shopping Zaino, do yourself a favor and get an extra bottle of Z-6. Z-6 is the quick detailer. I tend to go thru a lot of it for claying, and between coats. Its a great product and it smells great!

Finally, don't forget to buy the right tools (microfibre towels, wash mitt, etc.).

Its quicker and easier than you think to get great results. Post some pictures before & after!

also, two things to look out for:



1 - Dawn will rust your brake calipers. Use it once and only once. Once you Zaino -- from then on use their car wash.


2 - Take extra care to not splatter polish OR ANYTHING on your soft top. You put some polish on your buffer, turn it on & WHAM, now your cleaning your soft top and look...the polish leaves a stain...

That brings up another question (...sorry to hijack the thread) : What does everyone use on their soft tops? I use Raggtopp cleaner and protectant. Anybody found anything better?

NEVER turn your orbital buffer on until you've placed it against the auto and smeared a bit of the compound around. This is taught in the instructional videos.
