Yup, thats the more detailed version, and what almost all do when starting fresh each year. I just add the Zaino to the old Zaino unless there is some needed work before hand, like buffing or what not.Quote:

Notice how the car almost looks a pinkish/orange because the hood had so many swirls.
Here's the claybar before/after once I did a 2'x2' section of the roof:

The steps that I used was the following:
Wash and dry with regular car-wash soap.
claybar entire car
polish with medium grade polish (Sonus SFX-1)
polish with mild grade polish (Sonus SFX-2)
2 coats of Zaino Z2
finish with a little detail spray
It took me about 10 hours from start to finish.
Here's some pic whoring of my own car too:

gotta get me a new clay bar and get to work
if any of you guys live in the tulsa oklahoma area id be more than happy to do the entire zaino process described above for only 50 dollars per grand prix. i do this process about three times every other sunday for my clients. usually charge no less than 150. lemme know. im all about makin the prixs shine.
Beautiful looking cars!! My GTP got buffed out 1 time last year (bought in may '07). I have a mother's clay bar "california gold" kit that i bought last year. I'm assuming that this will do the same job as a all other clay bar? I've never clay bar'd a car before, so i wouldn't mind getting some feedback on them. Here's a pic of my car. It has tons of swirls on her and it was repainted a few time due to wrecks (before me) and i want to get her looking the best that i can.
