I did the clay, the Z-1/Z-5.
I even went out and got the 39009!!
You guys never told me this would happen, MY WHOLE FREAKIN NEIGHBORHOOD keeps asking, "when can you clean my car?"
by the way, total time for 39009, Z-1/Z-5/Z-6 was 7.5 hours!!
I think I'm gonna try shaving in the reflection tomorrow!!

Yes, the neighbors become your best friends when you have the shinest car in the neighborhood. http://web.camaross.com/bb/cool.gif http://web.camaross.com/bb/biggrin.gif Actually, most of mine are pretty lazy, and think it's crazy to wash the car every week or wax every week! I think there is only one neighbor that even cares about detailing and he has used Pinnacle Souveran wax for years. Problem is, his Pinnacle wax looks good for a few days, then looks like every other car after that. http://web.camaross.com/bb/frown.gif I don't want to give away my secret though! http://web.camaross.com/bb/biggrin.gif
And, yes, you can certainly shave in the reflection! http://web.camaross.com/bb/cool.gif Heck, you can even see which hair or hairs is out of place! And, it's great when I can use the car for a mirror when I get to work to straighten the suit and tie. Yes, optical clarity is a wonderful thing... http://web.camaross.com/bb/biggrin.gif
I would imagine most of your time went to prep with the 3M SMR, claying, and the wait time for the first coat to cure. Prep is very important though if you want perfect results, so it's worth the time and effort. Everything gets sooooo easy after the first coat! And even the first coat is a snap now with ZFX.
Enjoy the Zaino!!!
And, watch out for nosy neighbors.... http://web.camaross.com/bb/redface.gif

My friends used to think I was nuts when I brought out my car cleaning and detailing arsenal. At the time we all had black vehicles (I had a black '88 Camaro and black '90 Toyota 4x4 v6) and when we got together it looked like a little mafia convention or something.
After a few years and their cars looking worse and worse and mine still looking like new they changed their tune. I actually started a detail business on the side and was so damn busy I had no spare time at all.
Best neighbor I had was an old retired Navy fella that had a burgundy Corsica he kept immaculate. We would help each other with our cars all the time. Neat old guy.
enjoy the attention. You earned it!
