Pics of 14 hours of work on my C230.......Beware 56k users!
Well this weekend i decided to Zaino my C230. The while thing took about 14 hours. 8 hours on sunday washing it and putting 3 coats of Z5 on it. Then Sunday took 6 hours when i put 2 coats of Z2 on the car and 2 coats on the wheels. All I can say was i felt dead after each day. But i guess it was woth it. The car looks unbeliveable in person. I wish you all can see it.
Its so smooth and so shiny. You cant even scratch it if u rub your nail on the car, it will just slide off. The same thing with a towel if u put one on the hood it will just slide right off. Well anyway here are some pics i took today. The reason why i took them today was because its been raining here in florida non stop lately. So today was the only day it diden't so far. It was cloudy when i took the pics so i made sure i pulled it right back into the garage.
:p Well anyway here are the pics, yes i did get very camera happy.
Lots of lint from my terry towels.

Xpeed - Sure I'll do yours, just make an appontment.
bmms8 - Thanks, And, I forgot to post it, but yes i did clay on the first day (saturday). And the reason why i did not use microfiber towels to take the wax off was because i think Alboston said Zaino reccomends it being taken off my 100% terry towels. Its funny you mentioned the towels from miccrofibertech, I ordered 2 of them a little over a week ago and still did not recieve them.
I called, and left a message for a tracking number but did not get called back yet.
Iceman's C230 - Thanks, and no its just regular Black.

Nice Job
