3922 Views 111 Replies 14 Participants Last post by  bmw325
Yesterday took my car to car wash(hand wash) and then when I went home, I started the first polishing job on my baby.

With the zaino applicator, I applied z1 on the whole car and then when I finished, I started applying Z2.

When I am done with Z2, I started using a 100% made in usa towel to take off the wax BUT I COULDNT TAKE IT OFF?!?!?!!

Its like the wax is stuck on the paint and I had to scrub very hard to get it off. I spent like 2 hours but still the wax is stucked on the paint. What have I done to my baby??? :bawling: :bawling: :bawling:

Help this rookie plzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!

Yep, thin coats for Z1 as well.

I know you can do it! :D

OR.... switch to a Carnauba wax product 'cuz Zaino is a PITA! :D

Try Griots Best of Show or Carnauba wax... it's da bomb baby! :thumb: :D
And don't forget the Porter Cable orbital...you can do no wrong. Machine Polish 3 and BOS wax (above) and you're home free.

Keep it up Alex and you won't be welcome anywhere in the US :D I don't need to be let in, I slime under the door! Sliding on a nice (easy to apply) shiny coat or Carnauba!

What do you guys say that we have an Aloha Detail Clinic in Hawaii to help Bimmee out here? I wonder how many people we could get to attend. If we chartered a jet do you think a 747 would be big enough? :D
For those who are praising WAX in THIS ZAINO THREAD, May the DEVIL visit your Nightmares :D

Where are my Zaino buddies ? :cry: :bigpimp:

Shine + Durability = Zaino , you Waxheads :mad:

For those who are wondering how Zaino looks, I recommend them to check my car's pics. :tsk:

Get off of my Zaino thread !

Hey! That was P21S , not Griots. Griots is good for at least 4 months. ;)

My Rodney King Impression:
"Can't we all just wax (get) along?" LOL!
this thread was Carnuba - jacked

Man, I think I'll watch or help somebody do Zaino on THEIR car first before I try it on my baby.

I love Hawaii, but wouldn't it be more practical to have Bimmee come here. How about a another detail clinic get together in sunny Huntington Beach (Costa Mesa). We can wait until you guys in the Northwest are in the rainy season again!

Or when Alex is here!
so haus, now i am curious, what makes zaino such a pita?? and what makes griots better????

Do you Boeing guys know this answer? If not, let's find out. Everybody interested report to the Boeing plant in Skiddadle, I mean Seattle, with your Bimmer.

Can you guys abscond or 'appropriate' a jet for, oh, say a week or 52?:D

ZAINO is not PITA. Apply thin coats and it's the easiest thing to buff off.

well, my lesson learned is:
1. must know how much wax to use
2. must wait until #2 dries
3. watch the weather forecast a week before you plan to zaino

you don't need to watch the weather forecast for Zaino. If you have a garage, apply it in the evening, buff it off the next morning. That's it.:thumb:

Super! Nothing too exotic mind you. I'll take mine in steel gray, Haus in bright red and Rip and Alex will settle for all black!
