The more layers you get on, the better the reflection gets. Also, it becomes almost dirt proof (dirt wil never be able to stick!). I have 19 coats on my Z now, since last summer. It shines like crazy and its silver.

I just got my used 2004 black roadster. I would love it to look as good as yours. I have many scratches that I have been trying to remove with ScratchX by hand and have tried with the PC. Not much success. I must be doing something wrong because the scratches are not that bad.
How did you prep and remove scratches before the Zaino?

I really cant answer that question since the clear bra is on top of your paint. My assumption is yes you can, it will clean your clear bra, but not necessarily add to the paint job's shine.

Yes, you can use Zaino on the clear bra.

I was told you can, but they will remove everything from the paint B4 they apply the clear bra. Soooo if you are getting a clear bra don't bother to wast your zaino cause they will remove it.

Looks good. Their new Z-AIO works extremely well as well. Usually I have a lot of trouble with water spots (well water FTL), but the Z-AIO as the base later beat the **** outta those water spots. I also had a few places where it looked like the car was scratched, and it got those out as well! (I'm not sure if they were scratches or just some kinda weird streak, though). The Z-AIO isn't something that layers, though ... so you only use it as the base coat... you should try it out when you Zaino it next

Oh, and you SHOULD see it lasting about ~9 months ... thats how long mine usually lasts, anyway.

Where can you pick up the lint free towels that are suggested for best results when using the zaino products?

I absolutely love Zaino. I use this on my Z and my wife's impala 2x a year (3 coats each time) and the cars look waxed all year long

Thats very good to hear, I just ordered a clear bra and i'm looking to get some Zaino.

Do you know this from experience? I wonder how the clear bra would shine after Zaino is applied. Would you see a drastic difference in shine that sorta sticks out like a sore thumb?
