Zaino?....

[RedRobin]

^^^^
Need I worry about you spending your leisure time thinking about my Bat Cave, Stuart? Does your wifey/gf wonder why you feverishly utter the word in your sleeptalk? And hopefully not at other intimate times!!

Funnily enough I've just been out picking my daughter up (Dad's Teenager Taxi) and dropped her by the house and without thinking I said I was just going to put the car away in the Bat Cave. On hearing this her jaw dropped open and she asked me what I meant, so I had to explain it was due to my 'car mates' and my name being Robin as in Batman.

Anyway, the Bat Cave as it is now permanently known, hardly has room for a 12V battery due to all my exclusively car gear (oem bonnet, 17" Monza's, oem exhaust, oem brakes, etc etc etc etc) stored in there. Also, I don't need light in it because I only have room to squeeze in and out of the driver's seat and can't do anything in there. No drain pipes on it either. I own my house and garden but the garage is rented due to strange property deeds.

But I appreciate your thinking to help

Just to report that nearly a month later and only 2 coats of Zaino (a 3rd coat when circumstances allow) I am very pleased indeed. Wet 'n dirty weather and lorry spray is better resisted and the car is generally easier to keep clean using speed detailer. The really bad weather is yet to come but clearly Zaino will give extra protection.

She's not going to win any Show 'n Shine competition but that's not my scene. A couple of day's work on her has resulted in the benefit of lower maintenance.

Many Thanks to those who encouraged and helped with advice

No problems robin

Have to say thanks as well - got hold of some Zaino and had the chance to get one application on the car at the weekend.  Couldn't believe how easy it was to apply and rub off - pleased with results too - photos don't really do it justice (only taken on the iphone you see!).




Will try to get a couple of applications on next time!

Whaheeey!! RedRobin is getting out the clay and Z again!

There's a bright blue sky'd sunny day all day today so I'm grasping the opportunity with both hands.

Having now done it once before I'm feeling much more confident. I've just re-read this thread and everyone was extremely helpful - Thx guys 

I'll doubtless post some pics here in due course.

Bright and sunny but cold all day today and I managed to handwash and claybar but not start any Zaino coats yet. The car is tucked up in the Batcave until another dry day when I can start Zaino-ing. It's supposed to be very wet and windy tomorrow.

A day without rain at last.. Managed to rinse and Zaino first coat today after Meg's Quik Clay all yesterday (or was it Thursday).

Question please:
Is 2 hours enough time before applying a second Zaino coat (no accelerator being used)? - Thx 

[JPC]

you need 24 hours between coats robin. thats a Guideline for north America too, so in england at this time of year, id take it as a minimum.

What will happen if you dont leave the right time, is.... Youll be shifting around the first coat, rather than building on top of it.

I managed to get 3 coats on with 24hrs between each. The 3rd coat seems shinier.

....She's tucked up in her Batcave. If I go out today I'll take some pics but she won't ever be as shiny as yours usually is, Steve!

Super smooooth to the touch though.  

I really like Zaino - Easy to apply and rewarding to polish, and smells nice too.

No manipulation? So who took the last pic if it wasn't you?
