Title: My Day at Zaino HQ - Edition 30 wearing some new sealants...
Post by: RussZS on March 13, 2012, 08:38:14 pm
Johnny very kindly had me down for the day today to have a good chinwag and also have a play about with a few existing Zaino bits and some other bits which are currently in development.

I arrived at Zaino HQ with a very dirty, looking sorry for itself Golf GTI Edition 30.  It was last cleaned 3-4 weeks ago, when Z5 Pro/Z8 was applied to it!

After giving it a good clean with Z7 Shampoo, we pulled it inside to dry it off.

Once dry, Johnny started raiding his cupboard, pulling out all sorts of bottles... :doublesho

This is a new sealant (still undergoing development) applied to my bonnet:

The wing was treated to a DIFFERENT sealant, also undergoing development.  Both were incredibly easy to apply and remove, especially the one used on the wing!!  Impressive stuff indeed.

Z16 was used on the tyres, and a Z8 wipedown was used on the rest of the car.

A few finished shots:

Looks great Russ, Lets hope you don't smack it off something on the way back though like your last trip  :surprised: :P

Really do love to see the updates, makes me confident that I am using the right detailer on my car (and not just because you're local!)
