Wow JL, awesome work as usual on that car. I see you are really loving Zaino, I might have to start using mine more often after seeing you put it work. By any chance did you get to try out that stuff I sent you, just was wondering what you thought of it. Again great job buddy!!!

Great job JL,I know lighter colour paint is much harder to see but I can definitely see the Caddy looking slick with the Zaino product you used,I'm sure the owner is pleased with the result.she's now hooked on you.

Thanks bud I really really liked the Strong Wash. I agree with you 100% on the Megs HD and on the Opti-Bond, Ghetto gloss now thats funny. I did try the ADS on wheel wells yesterday and was really impressed with that. Did as good a job as Bare Bones and is a lot cheaper. I definately see that being added to my aresenal.

Thanks bud, you should really give the Zaino a shot again. I really like it and its a little more work but the end result is worth it. The only problem I've had with it was on a really humid day so I went and got an AC unit for my garage and that problem has been alleviated. I did use the stuff you sent me. In fact I used all three products on my very next detail after I got it from you. Couldn't wait to use the stuff, lol. I will be posting that detail up here shortly. And everything you sent worked INCREDIBLE! Thanks for making me spend more money, LOL!

Thanks Ken I was really pleased with how the silver just popped and was super slick. Yeah I think I added another client to the list!

Thanks Dust. And yeah they are magnetic but they are removed almost daily and cleaned and underneath is cleaned as well and so far there are no problems.

I've seen people cut ASD 1:1 to make it more viscous and as such able to spray better for wheel well application. As it stands it comes out of the sprayer in a stream.

I didn't cut it at all and used a high volume sprayer and it worked like a champ. The sprayer atomized the ASD very well and I got great coverage. Thats good to know about it though as I have another product that I didn't like because it came out the way you described so I'll try a high volume sprayer and see if that helps. Thanks bro!

Fantastic job JL! Hehe, air freshener much? BTW, did you feel that you went through too much DG265? I emptied my can way too easily through 3 cars.
