Zaino polish
Was skeptical about this product, but pulled the trigger! Wow, glad I did, my 03 vert looks like it is wet! used the curing agent in first coat, then 2 coats of the Z2 polish and man, what a mirror finish! The hardest part of the whole deal was washing off the 4 coats of Meguiars with dawn dishsoap~ It was their gold carnuba, and it didn't look bad, but really no comparison!!This stuff is real good!Try it guys!

Can someone post a quick/brief Zano start to finish process detailing which product/number is used and in what order? I've seen various threads but would like some real world examples.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Good:
1. Wash auto with Dawn soap.
2. Optional: Use Z-18 Claybar. Wash with Dawn again.
3. Apply Z-AIO, let it dry, buff it out.
4. Wipe on Z-CS.
5. Wipe on Z-8.
Better:
1. Wash auto with Dawn soap.
2. Optional: Use Z-18 Claybar. Wash with Dawn again.
3. Apply Z-AIO, let it dry, buff it out.
4. Apply Z-2, let it dry, buff it out.
5. Wipe on Z-CS.
6. Wipe on Z-8.
You don't really need ZFX.
If your auto's paint surface is not in good condition (scratches, oxidation, etc.), you can use Z-PC. If you use Z-PC, I highly recommend a mechanical buffer to apply it. Z-PC works pretty well, be sure to read the instructions so that you use it correctly, otherwise, you will not get good results. If you plan to use Z-PC, skip the claybar step.
After you complete one of the above: When washing your auto periodically, wash it with about two cap fulls of Z-7 car wash in a gallon of water. Dry of the auto and wipe on some Z-6. Be sure you use applicators and towels that are good quality cotton. Be careful of cotton applicators and towels with polyester or nylon hems, the polyester/nylon will scratch the vehicle.
That's not me, but that is my car.

Just imagine if you had put it on top of a freshly corrected paint job

You've got to polish the paint before you do anything if you want to get it right…..
My Zaino DD's still look great after a rain storm and hold up longer than any wax here in Texas. For durability, Zaino is hard to beat….
