Zaino Z-5 Polish and Grand Finale = Amazing!

This 1974 Cougar with original paint has not moved from it's spot in 3 years and has been sitting under a lot of trees.

This is what we did:

1. Clean the sap/dirt/gunk/crap/**** off the hood with Stoner Window Cleaning Spray
2. Apply 2 coats of Zaino Z-5 Polish with applicator pad, wait for it to haze then buff out with a microfiber towel
3. Apply a coat of Z-8 Zaino Grand Finale Finishing Spray with a microfiber towel
4. Buff the paint with a fresh new microfiber towel


The results:

looking good! i have been useing zaino for years then when i got my black benz it dident look as good to me on a black car. my other cars are a camaro and an escalade ext. my camaro is like a dr pepper red metallic and my escalade is white diamond pearl and it looks great on my camaro and my truck but is some what missing depth on a black car. then i ordered blackfire gloss enhancing polish and the diamond paint sealant and it is much easyer to use than the zaino and you dont have to use the zfx activator( did you use it btw?) and gave off a lot more depth. but every one has there own opinion and the zaino does look good!
