is that original paint?

Rob Tomlin

Yes, 100% original Silver Stone Metallic paint!

Thats awesome.

I had a black 993 convertable, garage kept. After a few years the paint stated to crap out on me. Maybe it was the NJ acid rain, or the salt on the roads...

I'm in FL now, and hoping I can keep my silver RX-8 as good looking as your RX-7.

Rob Tomlin

It's not that hard to keep looking good if you work at it. Keep the car washed weekly, use quick detail spray between washes, and clay and polish once every 6-9 months or so. And use Zaino!



Silver really kicks *** on the 3rd gen 7, by far my favorite. And I am still leaning towards Silver on the 8 when I get one.

Oh, and visit websites like Autopia.com and Detailcity.com! It's incredible what you can learn at these sites when it comes to detailing cars!

I've almost used up my first batch of Zaino on my RX-8

I just put two coats on my 8 today. There is a little more shine on it that what I had, It is still new so the paint still looks good. ill put a few more coats on it throughout the week.

Wondered if everyones dealers left the clear plastic protectors on just in fron tof the rear wheels, and if so did you leave them there for guarding the rear buldge?

Dang, it's always something! Yep, did em. I was running out of daylight and wanted to get the pix.

It's a very minute detail. Your car looks crystal clean otherwise! Just as importantly, I'm glad you've been able to make a Zaino vs. NXT Tech comparison. Sharing your continued experiences with both products will surely influence a lot of people's minds on the matter.

I hadn't had a chance to detail the car since I got it but the weather finally gave me a break. Man I love Zaino results.

Kawi, your car is nuts shiny!!!!!

Wow impressive. Have been a diehard Eagle One and Mother's fan but gotta check this stuff out the next time I detail.

My 8 and his friend.. both after Zaino (and me with a really tired arm :x)

Not a recent photo, taken Labor Day 2004

PS the shine was so good, it caught a plane's reflection on the windshield and hood. :D

Just got my 8. Woohoo. Is the advice to Zaino it asap or to wait a bit for the "paint to harden" as someone put it to me. Is every sec without zaino hurtin' my ride? ;-)

Don't know anything about making paint hard, but be sure to use the clay bar when you Zaino the car the first time. My paint has never been so dirty as the day it was delivered. I could literally hear the bar removing the shards of dust as it moved across the finish.
