Too many threads pop out after doing search. It may be easier to get answers with a new thread.

So far this is what I have done to my car:

-Washed car with simple green to remove old wax
-Washed car with Z-7
-Claybar with a little bit of Z-7 for lubrication
-Z-2 with ZFX one coat
-Z-5 without ZFX one coat
-Z-6

My question is if I want to put multiple coats of Z2 and Z5, do I need to add the ZFX all the time? Can I use Z6 to rub off light dirt from the car? Which one should I have used first Z5 or Z2?

Sorry for all the stupid questions. I just would like to do it right the first time.

 

www.zainostore will provide you with directions on how to apply the products. You should apply coats of Z-5 until all swirl marks are removed. Then you can go to the Z-2. If you Z-2 first, you lock in the swirl marks. That may not be a big deal on a brand new finish so you might be okay.

You only need to use ZFX if you want to accellerate the time it takes for the Z-5 or Z-2 to dry. In the cold weather, I pretty much need to use it each time.

You can use Z-6 between coats of Z-5/Z-2, but I wouldn't use it to clean your car of light dust. You should wash it with plenty of water and clean cotton rags to prevent the dirt from scratching the surface.

Hope this helps. No dumb questions, only the ones not asked!

 

zfx is only added to the z2 or z5 (whichever you are using) to speed up the drying process..so if its not so humid out you dont really need to use it..only use it the first time

Z5 should be used multiple times until you are convinced that it is no longer enhancing the look of the car..the z5 is to fill in minor scratches

the Z2 is used to give the car a wet look....there really is no special order to use the z5 and z2...you should use the z5 about 4 or 6 coats and then you shouldnt use it again until you think the car has minor scratches

the z6 can be used any time...yes it can be used to wipe off light dirt but make sure that dirt isnt harmful enough to scratch the car

oh..and BTW...there is tons of info on this

 

dont use z6 to take off dust, you are probably doing more harm than good. Use Z6 between coats of wax. I use it before and after wax, and Z5 as said before should be used for about 3-4 coats before Z2 is applied, but since you have CS your car probably doesnt show swirl marks to much.

 

For light dust, get a California Car Duster. Works wonders in between washes.

 

Man, its nice to have so many converts now that I can sit back and relax and let them answer the Zaino questions!!
