I am getting ready to make my first Zaino purchase and have a couple of questions. First a recap of the process as I understand it, please correct anything that is inaccurate,
I will dawn wash, dry, clay car, Zanio Z-7 car wash, dry, Z-2 car polish with ZFX flash cure, wait until dry, remove, apply either Z-6 gloss enhancer or Z-8 Grand Finale. Repeat from car polish.
Specific questions, I did a search but was unable to turn up results.
Does anyone have experience with Z-6 gloss enhancer vs. Z-8 Grand Finale?
Does anyone have experience with Z-2 pro car polish vs. Z-3 show car polish
Should the Zaino be applied and removed in the shade?
I understand it has to be applied sparingly, but are there any techniques for this, or is it something you just have to develop a feel for?
I assume that since Zanio is a liquid it is easy to apply, but how difficult is removal? I am expecting work here, but not sure how much.
Thanks in advance for any input. |

I would substitute Z5 for the Z2 you mention. Z5 fills swirlies better. Z2 is clearer, but Z5 looks better, IMO.
You may want to just use All in One as your first prep, rather than clay bar. AIO has cleaners in it, and polishes too.
I''d also substitute Z-CS for the Z8. CS is the newest top sealant product in the brother's lineup, it's easy, and works very well.
And you don't have to do this all at once. The intial wash, clay and Z5 or AIO and buff with Z6 is one day. The next time you wash with Z7, give it a Z5 polish and then Z6 buff. Then the next time you wash, buff with Z CS and or Z6.
CS is really easy and is reported to last for 9 mionths. Z6 is kind of an every-wash final cleaner and buffer.
I use Z6 every time I hand wash, and every time I drive through a machine wash in the winter (I don't hand wash when I'm cold.)
You can apply it in the sun. I don't like that, but Sal does. Make sure you use 10 drops of the ZFX catalyst per two oz of Z5. If teh Z5 streaks, it's probably not dry yet. I ususally go around twice after Z5, and use Z6 to finish the final streak removal if any.
I use my leaf blower to blow-dry the water from all the cracks. |
