Default Need Definitive Zaino Information

Where can I find Zaino info, their website is too vague, many products have the same description. I emailed them directly, the answers are still vague.

What products do I use and when?

Thanks for the direction.

There are a few different "combos" available. I use Z2 polish and ZFX , then Z6 for a quick detailer. ZFX speeds curing and is needed the first time you use Z2, to help it bond with the paint. It also lets you layer Z2 without waiting for it to cure 24 hours. It is also recommended to wash the car with Dawn before applying the Zaino. All of the above assumes the paint is nice and clean and ready to polish.

They make a fairly complete line of products. What are you wanting to do?

Z7 to wash
Z18 to claybar
ZPC Fusion abrasive polish to remove swirls, etc.
ZAIO to clean the paint and prep for sealant
Z5 Pro or Z2 Pro sealants to protect the paint
Z6 quick detailer to remove fresh waterspots and add gloss after a wash and after sealant application
Z8 spray sealant as an appearance and protection "booster"

What is the difference between Z5 and Z2?
What is the difference between Z5 and ZPC, they both state they remove swirls?
Z6 goes on after sealant, excetp if it's Z8 sealant?

Z5 and Z2 only have very slight differences. Z5 will temporarily fill *very* minor swirls, but most feel it has a bit better appearance on darker colors than Z2.

ZPC is a true abrasive polish that can remove imperfections.

Z6 goes on after sealant, excetp if it's Z8 sealant?

Yes.
