Wow, 5 coats. How long did it take you? It looks great but feels even better.

Heh...took around 6 and a half hours.

My arm still hurts a bit but its all worth it, I had neighbours asking if it was a brand new car...even though we got in in August 2003.

Turb0, for future reference, you might think about applying the z6 in between the z5 coats like you did with the z2. Also, zaino advises to only apply 3 coats every 24 hours even with zfx. Why? I don't know but they do.

 

My G looks infinitely better with successive coats of Zaino. I love the stuff.

 

Thanks for the tip al...I'll keep it in mind next time I feel like turning the car into the mirror...

About the three coats..oh well...I dont see any problem with the car right now...so I guess it isnt a huge deal.

did you clay your car first?

by the way the reason Zaino says to wait 24 hours between coats is to allow the polymers to bond to the paint. If you apply another coat before 24 hours you will be removing the old coat while adding the new one.

 

Yup I clayed first...I went all out..

Hmm...maybe the ZFX worked raelly well or somthing...because all of those coats still look better then the first couple...

I'll see in abit...oh well just gives me an excuse to put some more on if it didnt turn out okay
