Default Just wanted to show off

Sorry for the lame post but I just wanted to show off my cars reflection. Everytime I start to think I want to get ceramic coating I just slap on a new coat of Zaino and bam I'm happy again. Gotta love a freshly cleaned black car!

Don't do it. Your car is perfect. LOL. I've recently purchased a White Z06 , and now have 3 coats of Zaino on it. It looks very good on White but it's exceptional on yours. Awesome job.

Looks great! I like the splitter, skirts and deck spoiler a lot.

Looks like we have a successor to username "Wolfdogs". He kept his black '05 coupe in immaculate condition with Zaino products.

Thanks for the compliments! The car doesn't get driven too much. Maybe 2k miles a year and only nice days. I have been caught out in the rain before and it was painful getting it back to my standards of clean. It is currently tucked away and ready for cars and coffee sunday morning.

Thanks! That was one of the very first things I wanted to do to my car when i bought it. To me the Z06 is kind of plain looking without them. All I need now is some deep concave wheels to set it off.

If you do decide to get new wheels let me know , I am looking for a set of stock chromes. Mine has ZR1 wheels now, but they are royal pain to clean. Looking for something simple and easy.

When clean, black is so sharp on the C6Z and ZR1. With those body line, hard not to go wrong with just about any color, but black is killer. And I am a fan of the stock chrome wheels, not black wheels.

It's unfortunate that it's so clean and shiny now. You can't ever drive it again!

I do use clear seal, but not in the traditional way. I mix it with Z6 , 16:1 so far, haven't perfected the ratio yet. Anybody else try this?

Not a lame post! However, there is a clear difference between the product you used and the results ceramic coating gives you. Check out my car after a correction and application. Mirror reflection, whereas the Zaino product seems wavy/uneven.
