I just picked my car up today from the body shop. (someone hit my car while it was parked) They had to replace my bumber and fix my fender. They said do not use any polish or wax that contains silicone for at least six weeks while the paint cures. Does anyone know if Zaino Z-2, Z-5 or Z-6 contains silicone? I looked on the bottle but it doesn't say what's in it.
Thanks

 

I would wait the 6 weeks regardless.

 

I'm not even going to address this since it has been hashed and rehashed over and over. I will instead refer you to this address and you can ask the man himself. Sal answers his e-mail personally and very quickly. He will tell you all you need to know.

No silicone at all. Wait 1-2 weeks before using the Z-1 or ZFX. Some people have applied just the Z-2 or Z-5 before leaving the shop with NO problems.

 

Most people will tell you to let the paint cure 30 - 60 days before applying polymers. Natural waxes on the other hand will protect the paint from bird bombs and other crap until you can put on a polymer sealant like Zaino. Natural waxes let the paint cure without sealing it.
