Cool zaino

Yo Hugo:

Take your time and enjoy the process.

Did you get the clay bar?

Remember not to use too much of the Z2 (polish). I used 2 ounces which was enough to cover my Z twice including the rims.

Good Luck.

Default clay bar

The clay bar process took about 45 minutes. I just made sure to keep the surface wet and to keep stretching and folding the clay bar. When finished the clay bar didn't look dirty at all. The paint felt smoother though so I know it did remove dirt and grime.

Default Wash between coats of Zaino?

In doing the zaino process, if I am going to put 3 coats of Zaino on after Dawn, claying, etc, do I need to wash in between coats of Zaino, or just keep layering.

If you are doing the three coats in one setting, no need for washing, just keep going, finishing up with the Z-6 Gloss Enhancer at the end of the session and you're good for many months.

If you are spreading out the coats, say, over a week's time -- a coat one day, another a few days later -- and the car is outside 24/7, then, to be on the safe side, you should wash before the next coat each time. If inside, no need to wash, try a California Car Duster for dust removal before the next coat.

Ok so I finally got to Zaino my car. Heres what I think. The Zaino applied extremely easy. I removed it a 1/2 hour after appling it and it came off even eaiser. I used z6 then applied a 2nd coat and did the same. I couldn't believe how smooth the car feels. I've been using different waxes for years and never felt something like this. Zaino gets my thumbs up.
Heres the car right after the 1st coat. Its tough to tell on white in the pics but it shines great.

You must come over to the dark side. Holy Cow that PPW was made for you!

Cheers.

I will try Blackfire someday. I'm always looking for the "best product". What makes Blackfire better besides the price?

Hugo,

It is just really easy to apply and take off without any dust or white residue on the trim peices. I have even added a small amount to my quick detailer spay. I give both my DB and my wifes black Land Rover a quick wipe down in the evening to keep that just detailed look. There is an improvement of the quick detailer with Blackfire vs. without.

Cheers.

Thanks Free Patriot, I had a slight problem though. I mixed zaino and Blackfire and this is what happened. Anyone have any ideas on what I do now.
