One's you've done your first full Zaino treatment (which takes about 1/2 day) Dawn, wash, clay, wash again, Z2 (or z5) it's a very simple process, Just polish with z2 as frequently (or infrequently) as you like. The additional coats are very easy to apply and only takes me about 45 minutes to apply to the car and 15 minutes to buff off.

Many thanks. That's the exact info I was after.
Will have to harness the missus (many hands make light work!! ) to get the first process done ASAP.
cheers

You can also use Morning Fresh instead of Dawn.
If you get the z7 mist spray it adds a slightly nicer shine after you've polished - this takes about 15 mins to apply. Dosen't really do anything to protect the car (although it is anti static) just looks nicer.

There isn't anything simpler than Zaino!
I've used many waxes and you have to clean the car before you apply ANYTHING to get it to bond properly and to not seal contaminents.
Why do you think that after people try Zaino they sound like fundamentalist religious converts!?!
ZAINO ZAINO ZAINO oi oi oi
lol

the funny thing is
an expencive product (zaino)
really makes you see just how bad the nissan paint job is ....
other than that.. it is a great product
car looks amazing ...
spent about 6 hours cleaning it ...
probally needs to be done again in a week or so....
but looks great... easy to use .... time consuming...
but its worth it ...
clay bar is good .
very shiny and brings the pearly out
just hoping that i wont need to polish it every week ...
car was shiny just after the wash though.. so i would think polish only when needed.. hopefully only a few times a year ..
well see

I have around 10 coats of Zaino and the car has had it from brand new, people see the car and say "like your new car" I then tell them it's 19 months old, it's last, the shine I mean, it's been around 6 months since the last application and its still looks good. I use the Z6 spray (Gloss Enhancer) very third or forth wash.
May the Zaino be with you.

i bought mine from the main singapore dealer too, cazcomp.com, worked out around half what it costs in aus frome eclipse, but a bit more expensive than from the zaino US site
i emailed sal Zaino as quite a few guys on my alfa 156 forum were interested, but sal didnt want the business, so we each bought individual packages off cazcomp and enjoyed a good group discount (they dont have a "kit" but instead buy each product individually - same thing tho)
i wouldnt go too far with the coats of polish, 2-3 layers is plenty. Bonz's car is overkill imo and looks like some1s lubed it up with ky jelly
also i dont recommend washing ur car with dish washing liquid. Sure it may remove ur old wax, but itll strip all ur rubbers too. Just clay the car, thatll prepare the paint nicely

ok i took some pics not long ago
will put some up tonight when i get home
car looks so good ...
the polish has added extra depth to the paint
its just really made it extra shiny and super smooth
looks so good up close, so yeah i recomend zaino ..
i was wondering what all the fuss was about ..
definitly worth the $$ to look after your car
i just need to buy some more cotton cloths to dry / polish / and so on ..
also some brushes to do my rims ... they can get really black inside and its hard to get in there ...
also got my sheepskins fitted on saturday ..
they are 10 times more comfy than the leather ..
they look great, but not as sleek and stlyish i guess as the leather.
maybe next time i will get my seats retrimmed in suede,
even though that will make a whole heap of static ...
idunno .. i like suede though ... hate leather

heheh yeh no **** Perthy, i had almost had a few close calls in my 4wd with that tint on, esp since it was jacked up 11inches over standard so any car smaller than a commodore was almost impossible to see haha..

just need to be careful.. and measure it properly ..
that way it should look good and stay away from the grille ..
