I've used Meguires with good results, but now I want to try one of these other products everyone raves about here.

I used the ZFX/Z-2 with Z-6 in between and at the end.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Ken is that you in that white Cayman?/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/wink_smile.gif/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/dance.gifHow many days do you still have to wait? Just one week and my car will be build/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/beer1.gif
MPollard:
Awesome shot from this morning I assume. It has raining here in PV since 7AM. Glad someone with a Cayman in SoCal could get out for a bit today.
JHellow
mpollard,
Your pics are killing me, stunning! I want my car so bad I can taste it! Those photos are like food right now and I am starving./fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/beer1.gif
Ramiel, how are you holding out?
Just a heads up guys, the Zaino provides an amazing wet look to the car. Better that Klasse or the natural waxes. It is very easy to use. I used the ZFX/Z-2 with Z-6 in between and at the end. No clay bar was necessary. Two coats on everyting, including the insides of the wheels and the calipers, took about 2.5 hours.
I am working on the tail pipe today with 800 and 1600 grit emory paper and polishing compound. If that comes out well, I will post some tailpipe pictures.
JHellow
jhellow,
I really appreciate your thoughts on the Zaino, in a few more days I will doing the same thing, but 2-1/2 hours on the calipers? I guess small hands would help. I can't wait to see your tailpipes!!
Thanks Russ
Russ,
2.5 hours for everything, including the calipers. Not so bad.
I started sanding the taipipe tip today. I finished with the first stage of 600 grit and it smoothed out the rough milling quite a bit both on the outer and inner surfaces. The tip looks more silver now than pale gold. Later today or tomorrow I'll start working with the 800 grit and bring out the Dremel with polishing tips and compound.
JHellow
Thanks jhellow,
I sure hope the tips can be greatly improved. I appreciate your efforts and sharing the outcome. I'll bet the car looks fabulous after the Zaino.
Aloha Russ
Simply put that picture is WOW - I am speachless /fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/thumbs_up.gif
jhellow - please share the results of your tip 'improvements' - some pictures when you are done would be very nice - thanks in advance /fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/regular_smile.gif

But I would not overlook P21S products. I think they last a bit longer than Zaino and are easier to apply.

SF,
I just got my P21S drying towel, now I just need a car to use it on. All these photos coming are driving me crazy, in a good way, but crazy nonetheless.
Russ
Mpollard, for me this is the picture of the year. Wonderful contrast. Heaven must lbe like this/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/dance.gif/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/drive.gif
Yes he ought to upload it to the Owners Favorite Pic section of the Gallery, unless it isn't his favorite... /fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/regular_smile.gif
I have used both Zaino and P21s. P21S is far superior. Easy to apply, not the headache to apply like the zaino. Plus it does last a ton longer than zaino. Zaino has a cult of believers, I fell for it and only used it one. It was not worth the 'stage' hassles. P21S all the way.
Chad,
I appreciate your thougths, and I probably will try P21S, but after the Zaino. I read up on the P21S products and they are impressive, but so was Zaino. I haven't used the Zaino yet but I was under the impression that one of the reasons it was so good was because of how easy it is to use?

What they say at Meguires website about new car paint:
A new car with a factory paint job can be waxed the moment it is rolled out of the manufacturing plant. Cars that have factory paint jobs are cured at much higher temperatures, sometimes as high as 300 degrees in special baking ovens. At a factory level, the car goes through the painting and baking process without any of the rubber, plastic, and cloth components installed. This is why they can expose the car and it's fresh paint to such high temperatures. These high temperatures and special paints used at the factory level insures the paint is fully cured by the time the car is completely assembled.
After-market paint finishes however, are cured at a much lower temperature to ensure the method of baking or heating the paint doesn't melt non-metal components such as wiring and vinyl. For this reason, it's best to follow the specific paint manufactures recommendations for care and maintenance of fresh paint. Most paint manufactures that supply paint to the refinish industry recommend that you allow anywhere from 30 to 90 days curing time after the paint is applied before you apply the first application of wax.
