Default Pics of Zaino'd Pilot

1 of 4

I guess I could have posted this in the detailing forum as well, I just zaino'd the Pilot for the first time, took about 5 hours I guess. The pics actually don't do it any justice. In some of the pics you will see the wheels I'm going to put on the pilot once I can gather up some cash to get my x-terrains. Maybe after christmas, gotta have enough money for presents for the Kiddo's.

Boomer,

That Zaino polish job looks great. The shot of the hood really does look like a mirror. I bet you kind of hate to take it and get any dust or dirt on it. I would like to see a few pictures after you get the 06' TL wheels installed.

Looks good
I've used Zaino and it took me a loooong time to apply it and buff it out. Did you use the accelerator stuff that makes it quicker ?

thanks guys,

tsmltd, I know what you mean, just today, I took it out and it started raining , but after the initial zaino coats, all you need to do is use the Zaino wash and good as new. I will post pics after getting the wheels put on.

The Other Tom,
I did use zfx accerlator and it definitely makes a difference in drying time. I've tried with and without, and the accerlator is definitly key. I noticed without the accerlator, it was much harder to buff off, but not much. I believe the key is to let dry completely and use a thin film of polish just to where it's a haze. the zfx will defintitely make it easier on you.
