Default Zaino is good for your health

For we middle aged sit in front of a computer for a living types, the washing, drying, claying, washing, drying, applying, wiping, etc... cycle isn't easy.

I don't know how good of a workout it is but after doing it all day it was all I could do to drag my butt into the shower.

Look at the bright side, at least it keeps you outside and doing something besides becoming a couch-potato.

I have many customers who apply z-2 to very fine finished pieces of furniture and even counter tops. Z-2 looks awesome on a piano with a good black paint job. Z-2 works great on guitars also.

No, but I have one that's probably thinking the exact same things as yours. Of course, she sees it and anything Z related as an obsession.

After taking her to ZDayZ last weekend she now realizes that there are a lot of obzessed Z owners worse than me out there.

When i zainoed mine a few weeks ago i had one hell of a time buffing off the wax, i probably lost 5lbs of sweat just doing that. To do the entire car with a few coats really does take an entire day almost.

You definitely did something wrong is all I can say, I can do two coats in less than one hour easy.........

^^ ditto... well a little slower, but i bet kevin has more zaino experience. it takes me about 30 minutes to apply a layer, and 10-15 minutes to remove it. are you using the z2 and z5 with zfx? it significantly reduces the amount of time it takes for the zaino to properly settle and become easy to remove.

Light thin coats are key. I'm willing to bet he went way too thick.

I have been using Zaino since 1997 and I have probably done 1,000's of product demos at car shows over the years. I literally have had people come up to me at my vendor booth at shows before and say "you know, my Zaino coats take a long time to dry and seem to be hard to remove" , then I walk them over to my black truck which has been sitting in the direct sun for hours, I apply some Z-2 to part of the paint say on a quarter panel or something, and I hand THEM the towel after we wait about a min. or two (paint is hot, dry time is almost nothing) and let THEM remove it and they literally slap themselves on the forehead and say "damn, I have been applying this WAY too thick" I have seen this over and over and over...........

I agree Kevin. It is amazingly EASY to remove when done the right way. I apply a layer to the car in about 15 minutes and it takes me maybe 20 to take it off.

Zaino ain't your daddy's carnuba wax!

I put on just enough zaino for the surface to get hazy. I usually mix up 1oz and can do two coats with that.

I dont know i only used 1 oz per coat, using z2 and the ZFX... waited 1 hour for each coat to dry. The NXT wax ive used before buffed out MUCH easier than the zaino.

1oz is about twice as much as others use. I use 1oz for two coats.
