    Restored, Zaino`d VW Jetta

    Hello everyone. I did this detail a couple of days ago for a good buddy of mine. I have to thank Mr mgm2003 for his wonderful Zaino contribution. I hate to say it but I am really liking the Z. I have yet to do my car which is the final test lol. Exterior Only.

    Wash with CG maxi suds (dissapointing)
    Meguiars Mild Clay , maxi suds lube
    HTEC/OP 50/50 via meguiars burgendy cutting pad @1500
    Blackfire Finishing Polish via meguiars polishing pad @1200
    Z6 wipedown
    Z5pro x 1 (zfx`d, z8`d)
    Z8 wipedown.

    I will let the pics do the rest of the talking. Note the oxidation.

    Its your pictures that somehow show MORE than your priors did.. Thats actually the problem I`m having. My pics come out like crap and I have two diff sets of cameras, both costing 400 bucks each. Unfortunately I`m an idiot and couldn;t take a good snap to save my life..

    Its lonely in the chatroom all alone...

    Holy (expletive..... repeated several times). That`s an AMAZING turn around. The paint looked dead and now it`s on FIRE!

    You`ve always done great work, but this one might take the top prize!

    WOW!!!!!!!

    What was the owners reaction?

    You are smiling ear to ear -aren`t you

    That`s the best looking red paint (before/after) that I`ve seen this summer on ANY forum. You have dialed in the Makita, and the Zaino looks excellent sitting on top of your spectacular prep work.

    Well done Greg -that`s really impressive!

    My exact comments as well. Beautiful work greg. Has your opinions changed towards Zano.

    One thing about Zano once you`ve seen it, it`s very easy to identify its look Unbeleable.Thanks for the sun shots

    Can you please offer your opinions,i know at one time you could take it or leave it.

    Please don`t let this become a Zano war i`m just curios to what Greg has to say..

    I will give my full opinion when I do my car. FOr the 2 cars I have done I have been thrilled. The z5pro looks excellent on the 2 vehicles I have applied it to and the z8 just slickens it up. My opinion has changed, yes. I really like it.
