Default Zaino and Fingerprints

Hello all... it's a dark day in my baby's life... someone tried to steal my right headlight... unsuccessfully might I add.

I just recently Zaino-ed my car... like I normally do.. turned out great...

However, once the attempted grand theft occurred... the police department sent their CSI people to lift prints off the car. There were a few partials, and possibly a few good ones... unfortunately, the chemical bonding between the Zaino and the paint... combined with whatever crap they're using to lift the fingerprints don't really match... they had to try numerous times to take the print... as the print simply wouldn't come off... they finally lifted some, but they were unsure as to the quality of them...

The guy said that in his 20 years of lifting fingerprints, he hadn't seen anything like it. I suppose with everything good must come the bad... in this case if your car has Zaino, dont expect any decent prints off your car (in case you need them). This by no means places blame on the Zaino people, as their product is simply amazing (especially their latest finishing glaze).

BTW, anyone know how much a headlight runs these days?? I imagine thousands...

check on ebay, they are sold pretty cheap that's how things are i guess. sorry about that man... i think a lot of people are looking for the projectors inside

aobut zaino, i think it's just the good side turns bad. the zaino is just way too smooth and slick, it's hard for anything to stock on it, that's why it's so hard for them to get the prints
