Default Zaino Z-5: Wow, what a difference

Well, I stopped by Ira's place (the local Los Angeles area Zaino distributor) and picked up some of the new Z-5 formulation as well as some extra Z-2 and Z-6. It was a very nice day today here in LA, especially after all the rain we had lately, so I gave the Z a wash and put Z-5 on it for the first time, in addition to Z-2 and Z-6.

All I can say is...WOW. The difference between Z-5 plus Z-2 and just plain Z-2 is striking to say the least. My car is relatively new (took delivery in October '03) and initially I didn't bother buying Z-5, but I'm glad I did now. The paint finish absolutely GLEAMS, and is smooth as glass.

If you're not using Z-5, get some! It does make a difference, regardless of how new your paint is!

The new formula Z-5 (the yellow colored stuff) was the most striking and best change in any of the Zaino formulations that Sal has done since I started as a Zaino distributor about 1998 or 1997.

Z5 is a great product! Did you use the Z5 and/or Z2 w/ZFX? Normally, you would apply at least two or more applications of Z5 w/ZFX before moving on to Z2. You can go back and apply additional application of Z5 at any time. For every 3-4 applications of Z2, I apply Z5. If you have a garage available. apply Z2 without, I repeat without ZFX and let it dry for 8-10 hours. You will respond with a double WOW WOW

Would this change have any benefits for Silverstone? From what I have read, the old formula z5 did not do anything for silverston.

Yes, I used both with ZFX. Unfortunately, I live in a condominium complex with common underground parking, so it's hard enough putting Zaino on the car and buffing it without having at least 20 people walk by making comments.

However, after seeing the results a single coat of Z-5 gave me, I plan to putting on many more coats in the next few weeks

Man, Im in the same boat as you. I got my car in Oct and have never used Z-5 on it. I think I have about 7 coats of Z-2 on it right now. Mine is silver so I have not seen any scratches at all so far so I didnt think I had any reason to use Z-5. Maybe Ill give it a try this weekend.

Oh yeah, one more thing....
