I'm not sure what a "citrus" product would do. I would assume that since it tends to hold up to things like acid rain etc. it probably wouldn't be affected. Any help from our Zaino distributors on this?

One thing you could try is a wooden toothpick at the junction of the metal and the 3M clear bra. I use it to remove the Zaino behind the rear wheels where there is a plastic coating of some sort that is similar to the clear bra.

Has anyone Zaino'd a pikes peak white? I just ordered all of the Zaino products. This is my first white car, I've always had black. Hoping for good results.

Having applied four coats of Zaino to my car this weekend, I agree that it imparts a wonderful shine.

If there is a disadvantage, it is that the orange peel of the paint is more noticeable as a result.

Never heard of Meguier's Final Inspection. If you want Zaino, which is the subject of this thread, check out http://www.zainobros.com There are local distributors all over the country, but you can mail order (and find a lot of good info) there.

Default final inspection clarification

i think the zaino products are great! i was referring to a post on page two where there was a recommendation to use Final inspection if you didn't have Z6 readily available. the suggestion made sense to me.

Unhappy Forgot Claybar

I finally ordered my Zaino products today and like an idiot forgot the claybar, well I was hoping to do it this weekend and would just send out another check but that was also my last one. So..... is there anywhere else I can get some claybar at an auto store or shipped to me or plan on not doing it this weekend???

I had a clear bra installed on my car the day I got it (about 4 days ago) and it still has some haze under the bra, mostly under the thicker film on the headlights. My understanding is that this is moisture that is working its way out from underneeth the bra. Should I assume that I should wait until the haze goes away before attempting to Zaino them?

Bras require 2 weeks to cure, so if there is hazing after that 2 week period, then you have problems. I chose to Zaino after the bra finished hazing, this way I knew if there was a problem with the bra or not. I didn't want to be buffing an area I thought was hazed zaino, but was actually the bra curing.

My Zaino just got here last night, Can't wait to use it. I just have one question. Do you have to use the zfx in the second coat of wax or just during the first application? I was planning to dawn wash- clay bar- wash- z5with zfxz - z6- z2 with zfx - z6 - z2 . Is this correct?

The ZFX only HAS to be used for the first application and at least twice a year or every 10 coats of polish applied. Personally, I use the ZFX with every application, but that is a matter of preference not necessity.

To be honest with you, the three times I have placed orders from the Zaino site (by printing the order sheet and mailing with a check), I have never had to wait more than 7 or 8 days for delivery. I live about 400 miles from where it is coming from so this may be a factor as well.

Most distributors accept internet credit card orders using PayPal.

Yo Dudes....

I took the day off from work yesterday to spend some quality time with my 350Z.

Spent the day applying the Zaino Brothers system.

My Z looks so bitchin that I almost sport wood when I look at it. Okay, okay.... I did sport wood the first time I stepped back to admire it.

If you haven't used the Zainio Bros system then you are cheating yourself out of a really really hot looking ride. Don't settle.
