    This is actually after a few washes but figured you would enjoy seeing how my Viper looks with Zaino Z5 Pro on it. I usually will aply a coat of Zaino or at the very least Z8 after every wash, not because it needs it but because I enjoy doing it and it is a way to spend quality time with my car.

    Enjoy the pics.

    Here are a few of my favorite.

    For those interested I usually apply it (Z5p or Z2p) with a cotton applicator going it straight lines usually in the direction of the wind. For the ultimate shine and depth I will follow up my Z5p with CLear Seal and then go over it with Z8 to really make it POP. For you carnuaba guys out there the CS/Z8 topper will also extend the life of your carnuaba and give you that same pop as it does over a sealant.

    HHHOOOOLLLLYYY crap look at that thing of beauty!!!!!:yikes: Man I do love that car and hope to have one someday. Right now I have a Stealth that my co-workers mockingly refer to as the "Baby Viper"! Your car looks great under the Zaino!!

    Thank you for the compliments. Yes, the Viper was always my dream car too. I am so glad I bought it even though I had to get rid of my Stingray which I owned since approximately 1980 and painstakingly restored from the ground up and spent many many hours and put a lot of sweat and blood into. It was also a consistant show winner at every Corvette Show I would take it to and was a crowd pleaser. That said it didn't attract half the attention that the Viper does.

    There is a guy on the viper board that has a Stealth (TT ith think) that runs amazing. He uses it for his winter hot rod and will keep up with most of the Vipers on the road. You cannot beat that AWD.

    I miss looking at it. The Viper is sooooooooooooooo much more fun to drive and not bad to look at either. Wish I had more room in the garage and more money in the bank so I could have kept it but I guess you gotta do what you gotta do.

    Beautiful Viper. Zaino looks great on it. When you are applying the Z5 are you adding ZFX or just using it straight??

    Depends on my mood, I have done it both ways with great results. If I plan on applying more than 1 coat at a time which is rare or it is cold or damp I will make it a point to use ZFX but if just throwing a quick coat on as maintenance I usually will not.


    Thanks, yes, there is just something about the looks of a C3 Corvette. I love the lines of the high fenders and coke bottle shape. I used to love looking over those fenders from the drivers seat. :drool:
