Hey guys! your Z looks F$%^ing GREAT!!! Can you please tell me what I need to get me started? Z1,Z2, ect... I live in Texas where heat can be brutal! We also had 2 days of sleet and freezing rain few days ago. i'm sure there there are few minor scratches from sand and debrie from the road. Please teach me. What tools do i need? Does the product comes with detailed instructions? Where Can I buy it? Any inputs and assistance are appreciated...

go to zaino brothers.com for all the info you need. i just ordered a bunch of stuff from them.

 

I also found the amount of information so vast that it leads to confusion. Tales of 20 layers and 7 products scared me to think this was not for me. My friendly local dealer (Hi Ed!) was able to explain it in clear, simple, don't worry it won't be such a deal problem.

Be aware I do not show my car and do not wash it every week. All I did was :

A) Big wash with Dawn. Everywhere. Wheels, even removed tag to clean behind it.

B) Dry it up. Maybe you don't have to, but I did.

C) Spray with clean water and start to clay. Keep surface wet with a water+Zaino soak mixture in a spray bottle. The clay is like a small bar of soap you hold on your hands and you slide over the car. If it "sticks", rub it over, if it slides over, keep going. Keep it wet.

D) Spary again and dry.

E) Apply Z1. VERY thin coat.
F) Apply Z2, also a thin coat. You don't have to "rub it", it is not a cleaner. So just wipe it over. If it is too thick it will take longer to dry.

G) Wait an hour for the Z2 to dry. It will "haze" a little.

E) Wipe it off. If it is dry it will just wipe off with little rubing. If you have to rub is probably not dry. As you say, in Texas, drying shouldn't be a problem.
Ed commented this stuff is applied in AZ and Texas at high temps and users don't have a problem. You probably want a shady place for the wash and the clay, but heat/sun won't bother the Zaino.

And there you go. Nice and shinny. That was my first layer.

Second layer, easier : Wash with Zaino soak, dry, apply Z2, wait to dry, wipe off, done.

What I bought : Z1, Z2, Soak Wash, clay bar. Then, at KMart got wax applicators (round donut thing) and 100% cotton rags (for washing). Also bought baby diapers (100% cotton) for removing the Z2. And a new hose and spray head but I needed those anyway...

Happy Zaino!

 

Most people start out with the Z-2 polish, Z-6 enhancer spray, Z-7 car wash, Z-18 clay bar and ZFX accelerator additive. If you have problems with swirls or have a black car you may want to consider the Z-5 polish, which is a thicker version to better fill in swirl marks.

 

Thanks for the info. I'm ganna order some right now. I'll start with Z1 and Z2, clay etc..

 

Oh Well! Sorry I didn't get to you to tell you about Zaino ZFX!
Or the Z6!

Why didn't you just read Dr. Bonz's thread "Zaino Experiment II"?
