^^^ what you talking about? Zaino clear seal can be applied over any wax! The details are, make sure wax cures then apply Zaino CS.

Yes you can apply clear seal first. But I wanted to work the look of my car then apply the sealant to lock in that gloss.

Also, If youre using a random orbital, it is very hard to leave buffer trails. Even with the heavy cutting compounds.

Ok maybe I dont know what im talking about :S

CAUTION: Z-CS should never be applied over uncured waxes. from Zaino site, and your wax would not be fully cured within an hour or two I assure you.

Search "Zaino Z-CS over wax detailingworld" in google youll see everyone that knows what they are doing is putting a wax over zaino not zaino over a wax. but you can continue what your doing just trying to help.

I did it on a gtr with green edge pad and flex 3401.

guessing it wasnt black? I GUARANTEE it would have buffer trails with a green pad especially you would have slight marring with a black pad even :)

But maybe I just do it as a profession and dont know what I am talking about :S, except for the 3 emails I got from members who are detailers/enthusiast of detailing agreeing but maybe their wrong also.

Damn I guess I need to go re learn the art of detailing adn REFINING a finish.

Haha I love your sarcasm.

I was just trying to make the point that it is ok to apply ZCS over wax. You were saying it wouldn't bond and that it is a waste of time.

If I think back correctly, I think I left it for 24 hours and applied the zaino.

But I'm not challenging anyone for I am only a diy'er. And I learn as I go. All the help I can get is a bonus.

Nah my car's not black. I've done black cars with PG before and it didn't finish nicely. In fact, I'm not a big fan of the product at all. Was 4 years ago when i did it on my car and if I still have an Edge green pad, I would try it again (on wife's car, not mine again lol).

End of the day maybe I'm wrong and my memory eludes me in old age. After all you're the pro. :cool:

I don't understand why people don't enjoy cleaning their car.

It is honestly one of my favourite things to do. I reckon my car gets washed and detailed more than it gets driven.

My neighbours must think im obsessive compulsive. Im always out in the garage at all hours waxing away.

It is probably the most relaxing therapeutic thing i do.

Pic....because who doesn't like pics!!

      R32 non hicas power steering solenoid issues!

      By D.phantom · Posted

      So I’m having issues with my power steering. the obvious heavy and light and comes on and off randomly now it’s constantly heavy. I’ve read through forums regarding this issue and what I’ve gather is that it’s referring to hicas deletion. That’s the problem mine didn’t come with hicas.    I’ve rebuilt the steering rack, pump, changed the bent hardline on the rack and taken out the solenoid to clean and loosen up the actuator, applied 12v to get it moving. Roughly checked the loom to see if there’s any damage to the loom and nothing. Now I’m checking the wiring. I’ve tested the wiring to the solenoid and it’s fluctuating between 0.07v to 0.03v. Does anyone know what it’s supposed to be reading? 5v? Anyone one know how this all works? Is there a fuse in between? What else is it connected to? How does it connect to the speed sensor? A resistor fried in the ecu? Please help. It’s been years Thanks in advance

      Chips/Dents in wheels

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      that's pretty good condition, those chips are nothing. Get a mobile repairer to sort it out. Nice wheels, I had white 17's on my GT-R once, looked nice.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So this evening I had a need to remove the rear compressor turbo pipe (long story, but I'm replacing it due to a bolt snapping off in the pipe and managing to then snap an extraction bit in the broken bolt, fun times -_-). The rear bolt is a bit of a bastard and very little room to get good leverage. I was able to get a 12 mm socket onto the bolt head, but none of my ratchets were able to fit, so I put together a "stubby" socket wrench to get it out and it worked surprisingly well 🙂. In the past I've "made" tools by cutting down spanners and bending them with a torch etc, but this 3D printed wrench was way less effort. I'll be keeping this one in my "special tool draw" from now on for sure ^_^b https://www.printables.com/model/868973-half-inch-stubby-socket-wrench
