Default Question on Applying Certain Zaino Products.

I know to get the maximum shine, you are supposed to use Z2 in a up and down motion on the sides, and a to and from motion on the hood (not the right sayings, but you know what I am talking about).

QUESTION IS-

Should I apply Z-1, Z-5, and Z-6 in the same motion? What about Z-7 (the car wash)?


Other Question is-

When taking off Z-2 or Z-5 with the towel.... do I do it in swirls (like buffing it off), or do I go in a back and forth/top to bottom motions like applying.

Thanks,
Andy

I think you are giving this WAY too much thought, back and forth for the polishes (2,3,5) round and round for the Z-1 to work it INTO the paint and the rest does not matter.

It is all here: http://www.zainobros.com/files/tips.htm

I just want it to be the best it can possibly be.

On the Z-6, Z-7, and towel, do I put on/take off like Z-2/3/5 (back forth, etc), or like Z-1 (circular)?

Thanks,
**** Zaino Applicationer,
Andy :D

Makes no difference, best way is just start trying what works for you, like riding a bicycle.

This may sound dumb, but if Sal offered a video showing the proper way to detail a car with Zaino (wash, polish, windows, interior), he may make a couple of bucks and maybe sell some more.

I'd like to see it.

How often should Z1 be applied???
Every 6 months for daily drivers OR every year for show cars/garage queens OR every 10 coats of Z-2/Z-5.

To answer others questions, it has been said to apply Z-2/Z-5 front-to-back on the top of the car and top-to-bottom on the sides. It's an optical thing. It's also a tip given by Mr. Zaino himself.
