My 2010 G37x GS after 6 layers of Zaino

The result is amazing after I applied 6 coatings of Zaino. The rich and creamy Graphite Shadow exterior really pop. The gloss is blinding!

By the way, did you use any sealant on the wheels? Zaino's Clear Seal works really well on them.

Yes, I applied 1 coat of Zaino CS on the wheels. I didn't put anything on the tires.

It was easy. Took me 3 days!

Day 1:

Wash car with Dawn Ultra.
Dry It.
Apply Z-AIO.
Let Dry.
Wipe and buff off residue.
Apply very thin layer of Z-CS.
Let it dry by itself.
3 hours later, apply another thin coat of Z-CS.
Let it dry by itself.
6 hours later, apply Z-8 one small section at a time, buff off immediately.
The result was a WOW at the end of day 1.

Day 2:

Apply another thin coat of Z-CS.
Let it dry by itself.

Day 3:

Apply Z-8 one small section at a time, buff off immediately.

I didn't expect this. Prior to applying the Zaino coats, I noticed several scratches on the car. I'm surprised that the scratches are no longer visible afterward. Not a trace of it, even under the sun.

ZAIO has some very light abrasives. It's possible that the blemishes were removed if they were extremely shallow.

Did you buy Z-2 and Z-5? Your car looks great, but I have pretty much banished Clear Seal to wheel duty because I don't find it to hold up as well as the traditional sealants, and it doesn't look as good IMO. Z-8 is fantastic - I use it after every wash.

Optimum Opti-Bond Tire Gel is my latest go-to for the tires. It is water-based, but lasts forever. It also looks great and doesn't sling.
