Zaino newbie! Help!

[onebadbird]

I think i've tried every product out there and now its time for Zaino. I've heard nothing but good things about it and im excited to try it. I checked out their website and they have tons of different products that seem to do the same thing? Im confused, Which ones do i need to make my baby shine and what order works best? Also any tips or advice on application would be great. I have a black vert if that helps.

I purchased the starter kit(its on there site) for like $85.

you need the claybar Z-18, or you can use a "Blue" claybar form a car store.

Z-7(car wash concentrate) is supposed to be used while claybarring to lubricate the surface.

Z-1 is supposed to be a base coat stuff, before you put any other Zaino on the car, YOu can use the ZFX accelerator, and skip this(I did cuz it is included in the starter kit)

Z5 is good for dark colord clear coated cars, fills in the swirls, and helps deepen the shine.

Z6 ultra closs enhancer is supposed to help give the car a "wet look" and make the shine a little more 3 dimensional, it is used between the coats of Z5 and Z2

Z2 is the protectant stuff, supposed to be used as the last layer to help with shine and protection.


If you use the accelerator(I did) they say best to use Z5, then Z6, then Z2, then Z6. Only allowed to put so many coats of ziano on.


They say putting it on thinner is better, seems like expensive car polish but I it takes maybe 1 oz, to do an f-body, my first time, and they say you get better with practice. Car looked beautiful.

I claybared it for a good 2 hours, I went over the entire car twice to make sure I got everything.

Good luck.

I bought the Z1, Z2, and Z5 for my car. I like the way the car shines, but if you want to save some money, buy polymer wax from ebay, and nix the Z2. It's the same stuff. I have both and compared the two of them with shine, ease of use, smell, taste ;) . You can get 16oz of polymer wax on ebay for about half of what zaino will charge for 8oz.
The Z1, Z2 and Z5 brought out a really nice shine on my car, but I also like Mother's Phase 2 and Phase 3 also.
