DC Metro Zaino Session
Since the LUX install isn't going to happen, when are we going to do this thing? I already got my payment from AJ, so his car is going to be detailed first at the demo.
How about today or tomorrow? |

is that T&M (time and materials) or just time? How long does it take to do one car? how many bimmers can you do in one day? sounds like a nice summer job.

Hey, I'm still interested, too! Although, don't wait for me. I won't get my car for another month or so, and even then with the new baby on the way, I may not be able to leave the house for very long for some time after that!
I will, however, find ways to take off for short, fast drives. Maybe late at night.

Eventually, when I get my own PC and start being able to compound scratches and remove swirls completely, I will probably start charging more. I can give your interior a quick wipe down, but some people have REALLY disgusting interiors laden with trash; i.e. my dad's Benz. It was completely trashed with soda residue and everything, so my mom and I completely cleaned the interior out, yet in a week... |

2. Dry your car 3. Fill half of those 2oz bottles with 1oz of Z2 and 5 drops of ZFX 4. Mix it for a good 90 seconds, this batch is good for up to 12 hours and should yield 3.5 coats if applied properly (very thin coats) 5. Apply one coat of Z2/ZFX and wait for 30 minutes to haze over (when it's ready to buff off, you should be able to wipe it easily off with your index finger) 6. Buff off a section (i.e. front hood) with a MF towel then spray buffed section with either Z6 or Z8 (Z8 is like the supercharged version of Z6) and wipe off immediately with the other side of your MF towel (or a separate one if you want). 7. Repeat 5 and 6 two more times, for a maximum number of three coats. An important thing to remember is to always use straight back and forth or up and down motions when doing ANYTHING (washing, applying sealant, etc.) |
