08 roadster deatiling with ZAINO

hi all
here is my first deatailling attempt .. i know its not "fancy" like the GT-R thread but this is my first one so..

well its a 08 z4 roadster, alpine white. the paint was in a good condition to began with.

ok now to the fun part..pics!
i stated cleaning the leatehr with Z9 followed with the Z10, it did a good job and i like the smell of it.
altough the Z9 didnt do a perfect job, but satisfying.







ok, top on, time to clean the soft top, i used the BMW soft to cleaner, great results!





now for the wheels..
i used the meguiars hot rims and the special brush.







some carpet cleaning..





ok, time for washing!
i used some car wash shampoo and a wash mit
of course the tow bucket method..



time for claying..i used the zaino Z18, i had the Clay magic before, the Z18 is much better!







ok..i washed it again, now time for some ZAINO, i used the Z2 pro.







time for some Z8..!















time to clean the garage!







some final pics..











well hope you like it !! till next time..:wave:

Where is the wheel brush from? I sorely need that...it has a plastic core instead of wire so no scratchy scratchy. I've been looking for something similar for ages.

If only I spoke German

Does the brush have a brand name or model number on it that I could just search for?

Thanks!

I use Zanio myself and love it, using it is quick and easy, plus it smells great

As for results, I find it gives a very reflective shine, but it's not deep. The surface feels mirror smooth afterwards, the shine seems to last a while, dirt doesn't stick the paint because it feels so smooth. The downsides are the cost and it's not very good at masking small marks and swirls like some other waxs, zanio is best for new unmarked paint work,

Very nice results

Did you use a machine or was this all done by hand?

Sniry, Did you choose your products individually or was it one of the Zaino Kits? I have yet to do a full detail having had the hood repainted last fall, and have been looking for the products to do the job. I really like how your car turned out.
