THIS weekend was THE ONE! A 7AM Saturday wakeup had me prepping for a friend's 0730 arrival. The Saturday paint protection plan:
Tape
Clay Bar (Simple Magic)
Polish I (Minzerna)
Inspect
Polish II- remaining scratches (Minzerna)
Polish III- Zaino ZPC
Polish IV- Zaino All in One

This is just before the clay. And oh yeah- the refinished wheels are on!


Note the swirls in the flash:


I have more from yesterday, but I need to wrap up the day.

Today (Sunday) was a day for sealant and shine. Three layers of Zaino's Z2 a quick Z6, and the final Zaino application of Z-CS. Zaino's clear shine. I don't have pictures yet because a gaggle of friends convinced me that today was as good a day as any to install the OE Aluminum running boards that I had delivered this week.

We got ONE side done as we realized that the 'how to' that we found here was written by someone who either didn't actually DO the install or just plain didn't take the time for a good DIY. I hope to make a DIY that is worth a d@mn and post it here soon. I'll use my driver's side as the subject.
