You saw my car at the meet, John. It looks like glass... the stuff is awesome.

You really need to use a buffer though, it's too gentle for hand application. I got mine at Harbor Freight for $19.

SoCAL has been blessed with many phenomenally clear blue days over the past couple of months...today included. Hell, even my celphone pics look good. I went surfing today & there were even chicks on the beach laying out.

On-Topic...that paint was obviously well-kept- what was used prior to the Zaino? It looks fu<#ing awesome now!

Got a 300D myself with a Pola. In europe (netherlands / germany) we don't have that many days with actual GOOD weather :( . That's why i use a pola and soon a nice grad nd (photoshopping that atm ;) ) I still use the 18-55 kitlens though. When the supe is on the road again i'll get myself a nice 70-300 F2.8L :) going to cost me a pretty penny but worth every bit :)

Ok. back ontopic (sorry for the threadjack)

looking good. I'm always afraid of using an orbital buffer on my car though...

why? an orbital is pretty much foolproof. it's the rotary that can really fuck up your paint if you don't know what you're doing.

Once my car cures from it's new paintjob, I'll try to maintain my car with this stuff. I've seen the website before, what compounds should I buy to just keep it really nice looking? (I don't need swirl remover).

Man your car always looked great. Best looking original paint I've seen. The Zaino just perfects it and makes it look even better. Great work!!!! BTW do you have any pics of your car with your new rims. And how do you manage to keep your tailiaght soo crisp. I've been thinking of buying a new set just for them to look like that. I envy you and your ride man.

Since my car is freshly painted, I think I'll get these products from Zaino (tell me what you guys think)

Claybar:
http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=Z-18&Category_Code=Zaino
*This will get rid of any overspray, or imperfections on the paint*

Clear coated paint polish:
http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=Z-2&Category_Code=Zaino

Grand Finale Spray seal:
http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=Z-8&Category_Code=Zaino

Looks like everything I need right there, let me know what you regular Zaino users think (BTW, that shit is expensive, lol. I don't really wanna spend that much, which is why I skipped over many of the other steps). And also, should I let my car cure before using the claybar?
