That's a staggering shine. Your folks must be *really* thrilled at all the elbow grease you're putting into that finish. Beware they don't try to get you into gardening or plumbing next, you'll never get off the property :-)

Really nicely done. I like the hood reflecting the roofline of the house and the upper storey, and the 2nd pic in the series best - the right front hood seam with the clouds.

Too bad you're not on the east coast or I'd hire ya when mine gets delivered!

Vishall, that's a lot of coats. How many do you plan on? I stopped at six, then went to experimenting with my numerous other products.

Outstanding!!!

Every time I look at pictures posted on this board showing Zaino results, makes me wonder if I can ever achieve the same results.

Could you tell me what you applied on the wheels? They look great!

On a new car, Zaino is one of the easiest products to use because little surface prep is neccessary. If the paint needs some reconditioning, then you might question your ability. Example: bmms8 did a Camry that is used heavily and Zaino did not quite come out right. Then he did his E500, and well, the results speak for themselves.
