My SUV covered in Zaino!

My SUV covered in Zaino!



I bought this 20003 trailblazer which had embedded swirls from the previous owner.

I am a bit dissapointed in that my pc could not rid them.

As a result, this detail of my own vehicle gave me the justification to get a rotary (dewalt 849) in the very near future. Scottwax, I honestly don't know how you do it with a pc only



In the end, I came out with satisfactory results. Once i get my rotary it will be a different story for sure. Upon "up close" inspection in sunlight and with "fluorescent lighting" i can see the swirls which keep me up certain nights. May be i'm being too picky but its work in progress until my rotary can be delivered. Overall, I'm no longer a fan of the porter cable but came out with a decent enough degree of shine and protection for the upcoming winter.

SSR3 w/ sonus orange pad - pc speed 6

SSR1 w/ sonus blue pad - pc speed 4

AIO x 1 w/ sonus blue pad - pc speed 3

z2 PRO x 3 by hand , with z8 in between layers







My SMR:

I hit it with my pc, with sonus orange pad at speed 6 using SSR3 and it did not make a dent into these swirls even after 4 passes !!! Of course i worked in small sections. Of course I worked the compound in long enough. Still in the end, i gave up.



Here are the final pics. Not bad. At least i have enough protection for the winter. I'll maybe add a few more layers before the winter officially arrives. Overall, i like the wet look z2 pro gave me with AIO.



Thanks to the Autopia regulars who answered all my questions..

Sweet. Blue is my favorite color for Zaino - looks awesome.

That Caddy in the garage ought to be an extreme detail candidate!



Nice job on the TB!

Dripping wet, are you sure you dried it all. :2thumbs:

You used SSR3 and didn't get a dent in the swirls? I can't believe that, were you adding enough pressure?

 

[imported_DARKSTI]

gotta love Zaino on blue!

Wow, you had orange pad @ speed #6? Last time i did that, the pad flew off :LOLOL



Came out good though

chang - yes, i had enough pressure. I figured the swirls must have embedded for years. I can't figure it out. I could remove the swirls and scratches on my dad's old caddy but not this ?

mr singh - yup.. orange and speed 6 and nadda..

supurban - did my dad's caddy last summer. I have the pics of that transformation. Had no problem doing that with dacp, orange , speed 6.. and all the swirls came out

Looks great. But clean and dress your tires & wheel wells before photo shoot. :rules: :chuckle:





Keep that outside long enough and it looks like you have a few neighbors who might be asking you for a favor. :2thumbs:
