New pics of the C320 (Clear Bra pics)
Took some new pics of the C320 and a few angles just for oggle 
. This is after 5 coats of Zaino Z5. I must say it is quite amazing.

The Z5's refelction sure helps to hide the clear bra lines.

Hmmm....needs some C7's, but I guess you already knew that, right? 
Also, I just ordered some Zaino, should be here Monday. Will it make a big difference on my white car?? I'm going to try it out on a co-worker's black SLK also to see how it looks on black. Can I put it on her chrome wheels too, will it help them shine??

I love the invisibility of the clear bra! Now I'm thinking about getting it again. I just don't know who to use because I'm afraid of some monkey messing things up (like the dumb tint guys I used).

In order to shorten the amount of time I spend on it, I already washed and clayed the car yesterday. Then I am going to give it a good wash in Dawn and get started with the Zaino some day this week, as soon as it shows up. I'm thinking I'll do one coat of Z5 and two coats of Z2 on my car, and I guess 3 coats of Z5 on the black car. Does that sound good?

Alboston, very nice pics. You could have left out any mention of a bra, and I don't think anyone would have even known.
Nuts, I've got to read up in the Detailing forum...

I like it actually. My car felt a little bit more torquey (if that's a word) after having it on. However, after I upgraded from my 16" to 18" wheels, I think the effects got cancelled out due to the heavier/bigger wheels. But that's ok, considering if I didn't have the pulley, the car would be even slower.

The only time I can see scratches on my white anyway is under the really bright shop lights. And I'm sure the Z2 fills in surface scratches to some extent.

1 coat of Z5 then Z2 took care of most of the swirls on my car.

. Z5 does fill swirl marks, but I wouldn't try and fudge a detail job by skipping the prep work (buffing with abrasives) and just hope Z5 could take place of all that.

I dont know how i lived without it.:p Buffing with abrasives is not required for a good finish is it? Like if there are no swirls abrasives would serve no purpose?
