Default 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!

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

What he said….^

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….

You don't need a photobucket account any longer. You can insert the pic you want to post by clicking on the "insert image" icon at the top and to the right of your reply text box. The icon looks like this

I have been using Zaino since 2001 on all my vehicles. Know the process and it's very a very easy product to use with awesome results.
