Yes pleased with the results Steve. Little goes a long way. Might replace some of my other products (shampoo, wax) with Zaino when they run out.

The only stuff I don't like of zaino's is their Shampoo,other then that, Z AIO, Z5, Z6 and some Z8 is all your need for our Red motors  :happy2:

^^^^ All good with me, thanks!  :drinking:

Do wish you'd stop polishing your car, putting mine to shame.  :sad1:

We must get together so I can get some tips on using the DA polisher. Off on holiday next week so will pop you a PM when I'm back and see if we can sort something out.

Looking awesome fella, I know what you mean about stone chips, I've filled and machined loads of mine off the front , but you will never have a car on the front with none.

I'm 90% there but still have some really tiny ones on the bonnet lip. it doesn't bother me now, a lot better then a car with 70k on it now anyway.

Seem to notice them more with the TR paintwork. For me to be happy, front bumper, bonnet, wings, offside rear arch, rear bumper all would get some fresh paint  :ashamed:

Defo a convert to the Zaino range aswell. Say your not convinced with their shampoo tho? Need to replace mine as running low. Use Auto Glym and Auto Finesse Lather at present. Any recommendations?

^^^^ Welcome to the world of owning the hardest paint in car histor. Never come across a paint more brittle than the VW Tornado Red!  :sad1:

Mine is shocking, can't be arsed with it so its getting a front end respray next year (after the winter of course).


OFF TOPIC.....

Steve, did I see a while back you had a section resprayed? Where did you get the repair/respray done, happy with the quality and colour match?
