I had a look. Great job Elrooko. That bumper really makes a sweet looking ride.

 

Looks great....
Kinda partial to Nismo bumpers myself

 

I'm sure you are.

It's not going to happen here for the reasons I mentioned to you before.

However let's just say mine will look a little newer in a few more weeks.

 

Wow, that Nismo bumper looks fantastic! Like Deane already stated, your paint looks incredible! I use Zaino as well on my black obsidian G, but it doesn't quite turn out like that!

Awesome looking G elrooko!!

 

Yours probably looks great Shane. We're all more critical of our own cars. In any event with a little more Zaino time and elbow grease I'm sure you'll be more than pleased with yours.

I know mine is going to be in top shape before the trip.

 

I've always applied Zaino by hand but I'd like to apply Z2 and Z5 via Porter Cable just to see if there is a difference. I suspect I could do a much better job with a PC.

 

gahhh hottt!

 

I use a PC and the results are night and day between hand polishing. It is so much more even with the machine.

 

Judging by the looks of your car, it's quite apparent that using a PC provides better results. Hand polishing my G looks great, but your car really looks amazing!

 

Well this is JMO, but I don't see how the PC can make any difference applying Zaino.
Since Zaino has no polishing agents & is strictly a polymer based sealant.
I don't see the PC doing anything except saving elbow grease.

I think the overall finish & shine will depend more on the condition of the clearcoat that you're putting it over.

MaybeKevin (picus112) can shed a little more light on this topic.

 

I'm no expert but it seems to me that makes sense Ian.

 

I have found it makes a difference in how even the finish will become. If you do it by hand, I find that the sealant isn't uniform over large surfaces of the car, especially in direct sunlight. This also gets amplified when you buff it off. When I use the PC for both I get a really uniform finish that looks even and consistant througout the entire surface. I just finished doing my best friends TB 5AT. I'll post pics in a bit and you can see the results and judge for yourself.

 

thumbs up! I also noticed that automotivemods is using my car for the INGS+1 kit pictures
