pics of the shine and blue flake

I don't know how many people have actually seen how great the blue flake looks in the black paint but I took some pics that show it pretty well.







Yes I know there are a lot of swirl marks They were a gift from the dealer when I picked up my car

HaHa.. Very nice...

I detailed a Black RL that had blue flake last year. When I gave the owner the keys he could not believe that the flake was actually blue. He had never waxed the car so it never really stood out like it did with the Zaino...

Excellent job!!!

Thats not zaino

Meguires I was going to buy zaino but I don't like the fact that I can't run down the local store and buy it.

Oh. I didn't assume that was Zaino on your car...I meant my remark as a more general statement of fact, and from my experience on my car.

One cannot assume what wax/polish/polymer someone used from a picture. Hell, people can get good pictures from Turtle Wax. It's my own personal experience that has sold me on Zaino (and polymers in general).

Nice! I see you're doing the asian squat in the 2nd pic. Its very convenient.... almost as effective as the kung-fu picture taking stances.

Amazing shine. I feel your "pain" about parking under trees. I did it for years and it is amazing how many mystery drips come from oak trees. Little dots everywhere. So frustrating. If it isn't that then it is the pollen!

Its an awesome color...basically the same color used on my wife's 2000 hatch civic (her's is called Flamenco Black Metallic or something like that) but when you gloss it up and spend some time detailing it, those blue flakes will deffinately show their face quite nicely...

Very nice.
