Default Red IS 350 With Zaino

Finally had time in between rain storms to detail our new car. Full set of pictures at:

Enjoy, this was my first time with Zaino, and I am now hooked

Nicely done - looks fantastic. Do you have any before/afters of the defects you took out with the PC?

Yes, 700 miles on the car - one rock hit on the nose as we had to drive it home on I-5 from LA to SF area in the rain. A small scratch on the roof behind the sun roof I found after claying and a mar on driver's outside mirror, looked like someone hit in a parking lot. All came out, except for about 10% of the rock hit, but now its too small to see unless you know where to look....

Looks great! I just gave my GS the Zaino treatment on Friday. Good products and easy to use.

Your post inspired me to give my long dormant Zaino a try yesterday. I gotta admit, it looks nice! Thanks!

What did you do for the windshield/windows? I was just gonna do whatever on mine, but then after reading up it seems doing anything to the windshield has a chance of screwing it up....

Nothing on the windshield, I clean it with the Stoner glass cleaner. We tinted the rest with Formula 1 ceramic tint. Front doors 50%, rear doors 35%, rear window 15%.
