When I bought the car:

I like the pic with the chopper in the background.. There is one like that in front of the VFW in Dixon, IL. You should see if that stuff works on that old paint;)

Where do you purchase this Zaino stuff? Local AutoStoned? Internet? Please let me know so I can shine up my cars before the show.

I think the 'copter on the pole is in Monroe.....right? I used to live in the area and remember that park very well if it's the one I am thinking of.

Damn! :nod: :thumb: Your car is looking awesome! I would do something similar to mine but with all the hail and other dents, it would be like the proverbial "putting lipstick on a pig"!!!!

Looks great!! Good job! :D

Not to hi-jack your great looking car thread, but I used to visit the Mazda plant in Flat Rock quite a bit. I would go there for lunch just to relax. It is the first 'copter I seen on a pole like that. Usually I see them sitting on a ground pad. Great photoshop work on the drag race! Needed to be sitting in the car though!! :p

I use Zaino too. Amazing stuff. It takes an entire day to do the whole sha-bang...but in the end it looks soooooo smooth. I picked up the ZKIT-2. Good stuff.

what exactly did you use? the all in one?

dodgeshadowchik
06-02-2008, 07:49 PM
I got the whole kit. But the products that made the difference was the Z-2 and the Z-5 if you don't want to get the whole kit. Also, get the ZFX, its an accelerator.

Yes! Zaino rocks! Ive never used it on my CSX....I need to get more. I use it to shine up my GTO and its definately the best shine ive ever seen out of a polish. The more coats you stack, the better it looks. THis makes me think I should grab some more before SDAC for the CSX.

Do it! ;)

A row of super-shiney 89's would be awesome. :)

Blue Iroc R/T

Love the Zaino. Your CSX looks great. Here are some of mine after its first Zaino Bath. Like you said lot of work, but well worth the time. I worked late Thrusday night on it and then towed it on a open trailer to Carlisle on Friday. It poured the whole way there. I pulled it into Bldg. T with water just dripping off of it. I just towel dried it and went over it with the z5 and it cleaned up good. Not trailering this year. Fuel too expensive to tow and the R/T is too fun to drive.
Again, you did a fantastic job bringing that CSX back. :thumb:

I love your blue IROC R/T! Definatly my favorite color! I hope to see it at SDAC! :-D
And thanks! It will be undergoing another treatment this weekend in preperation for SDAC. I'm going to clean out the interior and such.

More Zaino pictures. This time I did an experiment. I hand applied the polish to the Talon (aka Turd), and buffed it on the CSx. Seems to work fine either way!

Talon (4 coats of Zaino, clay bar, applied by hand)
