Gotcha.. Brian's the clear bra guy's name. He does great work, as well as Nino. Nino's an old friend of mine and recently tinted my M3 with the new Huper Optik tint... I love the look of it.

As for helping, I'll probably have to take care of this guy myself as he's very particular in who touches his car and expressed how much he cares for it repeatedly haha... I don't blame him either having such a car.

I'll let you know Fri or Sat what they say about you stopping by, but you're more than welcome to come by Saturday hang out of a bit, maybe help out.

Understandable. I can vacuum or something

I need to get retinted soon (35% all around) but I'll have to strip my rear 20%s too. I'll check out that Huper Optik film. I love my Llumar though.

I think I refer anyone and everyone to Nino... great guy.

Matt,

I've had great results with other brands as well... I just love how cars look after some Zaino.

The AIO is a great product which I use for my "wax" package... instead of just claying and waxing, I prefer to do an AIO step. ZAIO has some very mild correcting capability (versus KAIO which has none) and creates a nice base for other Zaino products (according to Sal).

Often times, 100% isn't achievable or suggested (removing too much CC etc). Layering a base of Z5, which has some filling capabilities, topped with Z2 gives a very nice look. IME, Z2/5 are pretty durable LSPs. I have heard the hype with Z8 but have yet to try it.

I'm not that impressed with ZPC but maybe I'm not using it properly. I find that M205 cuts much faster and leaves just as good of a finish. I have some Menz 106FA coming in soon so I would like to see how that stacks up.

I love Z10... smells great and works well. After the first application I was impressed but not blown away. After a second application a couple weeks later, I really felt my seats get softer.

ZCS and Z16 have a strong following too so I just picked those up. I've seen some durability tests with Z16 and people were impressed.

I got Z14 too... read somewhere that it works well with clear bras so I figured I'd run into one sooner or later.

Having said that, I just sealed my car with F*UPP and love it. Spray some DGAW on the next day (didn't have time for a proper wax) and its slick as hell. I have Optimum products that I love too.

I guess I'm a fan of Zaino since its very easy to use and the process is spelled out for users on their site when I was a "noob".





Side note. I used some Optimum metal polish this weekend and it was a little difficult to remove... wipe on, wipe off?
