Very nice!

tdekany · 10-15-2009, 04:55 PM

Thanks all.

There is zaio as base topped with z2 and that was topped with z8. No carnauba with zaino. Polishing did an excellent job getting the paint wet looking. mho.

Whats involved with polish? Do you have to have a buffer or can you do it by hand? I have a ton of swirl marks on my monaco blue 335 that id love to get out

You could theoretically do it by hand, but you'll kill yourself to get a less impressive result. A machine buffer (such as the PC 7424 XP) is something that will last a long time, it's a good investment.
