hey guys, wife went out last night so i spent night with my girlfriend.... I finally broke out that zaino kit I bought over a month ago....

anyway, man I need some tips or something for waxing... i spent darn near 4 hours on my truck... and all did was wash, few clay bar spots, and 2 coats of Z2... was gonna do a final coat of z5 and the engine and interior...but i got way too tired and worn out... i did however get it all real good.... i even cleaned up under the truck (ie rancho bars, etc)

here are a couple pics I took on my way to work this morning.... dont really do it much justice... i havent really figured out how to take pics with this fancy camera... too many lightning options, etc

I could use some tips as well on detailing this bad boy I now own as well. Where and when? Preferably Saturday as Sunday is Easter. Also, the earlier the better, as I have a long list of honey-do's for next weekend.

As far as advice goes, just follow the Zaino directions to the "T" and make sure and work the front air-dam, hood, roof, tail-gate front-to-back and fenders, doors, bed up and down (vertically) per directions. Something about reflection/refraction, but it works when you're done! :tu:

As far as taking pictures in person, make sure and keep as much of the sun to your back as you can as you need ALL the light you can get for a good picture.

This one is only about 1/4 sun-light to my back ...
BTW, Zaino is labor intensive if done right compared to other treatments. :hammer: :D

Theres a differnce. Red is a hell of alot easier to wax than black. I worked as a detailer for about 2-3 years. Im no pro but black is a b!tch and takes some practice.
