I finally got a free saturday to apply my Zaino
Firstly started off with a wash as the rain had left everything mucky
Oh yeah i have given in and bought a Schmitt, only a wheel one though, i still see them as sponges
It was was alright actually much better for cleaning the arches but it's size made it hard to get into the fiddly bits of my wheels. It doesn't hold much water either most of it end up on the road before you even bring the mitt to the wheel
Anyways i still had to deswirl my roof as i was saving that for rotary practice but couldn't wait any longer
So SFX 2 pad with IP soon sorted the Swirls, although there is plenty of deeper scratches on the roof which is alittle dissapointing, will need wet sanding to really sort them, damn prevoius owner with a water blade !!
Now after the PC'ing I "cleaned" the car with Isopropynol mixed 50/50 with distilled water, the car was literally squeeky clean which was a nasty feeling
Next I applied a coat of Z-8 to the car in prep for the Z-5 Pro
Now the Nerdy bit
Z-5 Pro in the Mixing bottle (coincidently that was exactly enough to give the Leon 3 coats, which was abit of luck)
ZFX added to the Z-5 Pro .... 4 drops worth
A couple of the Zaino mix curing
I applied the Zaino with a Microfibre App pad sprizted with Z8 and applied the mix in straight lines
I left for 30 - 40 mins to cure and then buffed off with a Concours buffing towel
Then onto the next coat and so on
Left the final coat nearly an hour as it was getting dark and colder, ending up buffing it off in the dark last night ! got loads of funny looks from people walking by
So got up this morning a took some piccies, pleased to find i hadn't missed any bits either
