This makes no sense..."I would have a car like this without it" and yet you have it? I can spot the clear bra on any car from almost any distance...must be my inspectors eye.

MK, first MF is micro fiber...it is so easy to buff these things out after you have applied the wax using a PC (porter cable...7424)...no need to use a machine to buff! PC is used to apply because you need to break-down the wax on the surface of the car!

yes I left out the 'nt. I mean lets be honest I know where it is so if I walk up on it I can see the line. But if you don't know its there it's VERY tough to see. And even if you can barely see it what it saves in damage is well worth it.....

Peace...I'm not going to argue this one. My paint guy can fix chips in the paint for less as long as there is no bra. BTW I have those things on 4 of my other cars, so I'm not against them and I know what they can and can not do...just not on my P-car!

Your car is spectacular and stunning. I've got all that Zaino stuff in my garage, I used it once and gave up - that list just tires me out!

I too can see clear bra on cars, but I haven't had one without it in years.

I use Zaino. Has anyone had experience with applying P21S Carnauba wax or Souveran over the final coat of Zaino?

No, but I might try...I have always loved P21S for ease of application and great results.

What temp did you put it on at and how long were your cure times?

I've had a hard time finding the love for Zaino because of the long cure times at 70 degrees even with the accelerator. I felt I got equal results using 3M products and they are easier or I'm just used to them. I do think the Zaino lasts a little better.

Love the seats in your Turbo.

I did it last weekend...so temps were 60-70. I allowed about 1 hour cure time and the Zaino polished right off. Are you using a PC? If not, that is your problem. 3M doesn't come close IMO (Klasse, Menzerna, P21S..are also better). Yeah, GT3 seats are awesome!

Alright, based on this I'll give it a go again. The humidity was up when I did it so that may have been the issue. What is PC? I'm guessing that's the catalyst or whatever they call it that makes it set quicker. If that's the case I have it.

I was at Detailers Paradise and people seem to either swear by or at Zaino stuff. I'm in for round two.

No PC is a Porter Cable (machine) and it really helps to break-down the wax which makes the wax perform the way it is supposed to. Since you are local, if you want I can drop by and let you try mine. I'm off to the Avs game this afternoon, but am around all week. Drop me a PM if interested. I'd love to see your GT3 and Gallardo!

I've got a DA pad that I use on the compressor but I didn't use it when I tried Zaino the first time. Let me give it a go and I'll PM if I'm confounded. Thanks
