Yes you did, thanks for the advice. I guess I'll do the second pass with PO106FA or PO85RD and blue pad.

Nice set!
I tried the Zaino CS few weeks ago with bad results. I guess I used it way too much --> residue holograms everywhere.

I had used Zaino products almost exclusively for awhile. But i found the Z-2 and Z-5 to be far too labor intensive for the results obtained.
I still have some Zaino AIO I use in the winter or on my other vehicles from time to time.

Now I get much better results for my Jet Black paint using Menzerna Intensive and Final Finish polishes using a Meguiar's polisher.
I have also been using Fuzion Wax...Very easy on and off.
(I still use the Zaino Z-6 and/or Z-8 for the final wipedown).

Anazfin - let me know how you like the DoDo Juice Supernatural.

That residue will come off easily with detailing spray. And the rest of it is still there, protecting away.

Yes, you need to put on Clear Seal very very thin ... but it holds up forever!
