Alright here's the deal, I just bought a used Z and it has a decent amount of scratches, swirl marks, and what-not. Obviously I want it to look it's best so I have come here to get help. Before my Z I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee and I washed it and used Meguiar's wax but never put much thought into other products. So I am pretty much a "newbie" when it comes to extensive car care. I can see that Zaino is very well regarded on this website and I have decided to use it on my Z. I have read most of the threads in the detailing forum and read most of the stuff on the Zaino website but still have some questions.

What order should I use these products in if I want to get as many scratches and swirl marks out as possible. Should I dawn wash, then claybar, then use the Z-PC or just wash then use the Z-PC.

Thanks

 

"Should I dawn wash, then claybar, then use the Z-PC or just wash then use the Z-PC."

Dawn will not be needed, just wash with Z-7, clay bar, dry the car, and then use ZPC and then several coats of Z-5.

 

Follow the directions that come with the Zaino. To get the car down to no wax, you will need to wash it with Dawn, then claybar. This way the car is clean & ready for the entire Zaino process. Then you can apply the ZFX with Z2 or Z5.

 

And then you can bask in the Zaino glory...




I actually haven't applied any Z-2 or Z-5 since last year, just washed with Z-7 and topped off with Z-6 and Z-8. I've been waiting to use the Zaino-PC before I put any more coats on.
