Default Zaino Question

My car's finish is flawless. Not a microscopic scratch anywhere. I used a high speed polisher, and some fine cut polish to polish up my paint. Applying Zaino can I skip steps and jump right to Z2 Pro w/ZFX then Z6 between Z2 coats?

Also how long does water bead on Zaino?

Thanks
JET

If you've just polished it, then there should be no reason to claybar it. Go right ahead and start applying Zaino.

I clayed the entire car before polishing as well. Sooo... go right to Z2 with ZFX additive?

I am not a guru on the Zaino stuff like Dr Bonz for sure but I understand that you should start with a clean surface without the polish or anything on it so you should wash it with dawn to remove it. Since your car has no scratches you can skip the Z5 and just go to the Z2 applications. You will be very happy with Zaino the stuff gives it a real deep glossy/wet look. I am lazy and don't do it but twice a year with the Z5/Z2 but do the Z6 a few times in between and the water beads up fine, mine is in the garage a lot so not too much exposure to the elements.

You're car always looks real good in the pics I've seen.

The polish I use is a pure polish without silicones or waxes. It only contains a mild abrasive to cut through the top layer of clearcoat. If you can't see the polish then the paint is bare.

So I guess I'm ready. It should be here this week.

Thanks

dawn wash then straight to z2 w/zfx. If you want to continue using zaino after polishing next time you might want to get a bottle of zpc. You can skip the dawn wash step and you can use z2 without zfx.
