Default A Zaino Sunset

I took some pictures today after a detail of my silver paint at sunset. Silver is very hard to capture correctly but I find it helps to take pictures late in the day. We had a cool sunset which I captured somewhat reflected in the paint...









Enjoy!

Looks very nice yESman, amazing depth and reflection for silver paint.

So which Zaino products did you use. I got some Z-PC and Z8 I still haven't been able to use and I can't wait to see what it does to my black paint, when the 40 years of rain stops up here in the NW.

Thanks for the compliments. I used Z-PC plus Z-2 Pro + Z-6 and Z-8 after washings.

I really like the look and durability of the Zaino system.

Hey yESman, I assume you used a PC to apply the Z-PC, which pad do you like to use with it if you did?

I'm starting to work on my neglected black truck and Z-PC didn't do much with a polishing pad so I'm going to do a round of SSR2.5 first then go back to the Z-PC for the light swirls. Or use a cutting pad? Any suggestions.

Looks great! It's a pain to polish but end results are priceless in the end! What year is your ES?

It's a 2004 with Mark Levinson/Nav. Love it but will get more power in 2007 at the end of the lease.
