Sorry, I lied. I don't know how to set up a poll, but I have a question for Z users.
People often tout the durability and longevity of Zaino products. I know some people who Z their car after every wash.
I spent a lot of time this past winter getting my finish where I wanted it with a PC and multiple coats of Z. I now like to apply a quick coat at least once/month, which is a walk in the park, and keep it looking great to me.
So my question is, how often are you applying Z whatever to your ride.
I would be willing to bet that most are applying on a fairly regular basis and was just curious.
To me, it is well worth the minimal time and effort.
Sorry for the long winded question.

I'll post some pics of my wifes BMW that got 3x of Z5pro and a beta version of Clear Seal last Nov.

Since I detail on the side I really don't have the time to apply more zaino every 3-4 months. I like the fact that I can go 6-8 months and not have to worry about re-applying a product.

I probably apply a coat of Z2/Z5 to my Camaro every 2-3 months (on average) with Z6 in between.
The Corvette gets a coat of Z maybe 2-3 times a year.

About every six months for me...regular washings after every use are followed by the ZAINO detailer, then it's covered in my shop.

I usually apply Zaino polish every three months. When I do apply it I usually apply at least three coats of either Z-5 and/or Z-6.

Between applications of polish I wash with Z-7 and apply Z-6 after each wash and to detail the car.

I've owned the car for a year now and have Z5'd it at least 6 times. My most common thing is to Z6 and/or Z8 it at least once a week.

I do the same as you and was wondering the same thing....but only during the summer months....

I do it regularly on my vette and viper and probably every 12 weeks on my dd. Sometimes longer or shorter if I am testing a product pending on how the test is going.

I polished my black daily driver 98 Acura TL 3.2 with the menzerna twins and topped it with Z5P x2 and Z2 back in Febuary. I keep it clean and use Z6 or megs QD after washing to maintain some of the previous efforts....

I'm ready for another couple of coats of Zaino. That works out to about five months for me. Not bad.......

bugman

every month, a coat of z5/zfx. then top with clearseal.

I don't do it that often because I have to, just because I enjoy it and like to amp up the shine.

capevettes

I probably Clear Seal each of my cars once every 3 months. I maintain the finish between full polishings with Z6 and Z8 on an as needed basis.

I find myself using Z2 and Z5 less after looking at the results of the CS and Z8 . If I see some minor swirling I will apply a coat of Z5 followed by Z2. Then CS and Z8.

The daily driver gets 3 coats of Z-5p/ZFX twice a year (October & April). This last April I did go with 2 coats Z-5p/ZFX and Z-CS.

The two Corvettes get AT LEAST one coat of (Z-2p/Z-5p/Z-CS) when they start to look dull to me and multiple coats before big car shows. It would probably average 1 coat every three weeks during the better weather months around here (April through October).

The burgundy BMW looks amazing, saw it over on Pictautopia (I'm a little bias as it one of my favorite marques and my favourite colour)

This is my line of thinking also. I'm a little surprised more people did not respond like this though, but glad to hear people are happy with the durability of Z.

bretfraz

Last time I applied Z2 to my truck was Dec. 10, 2006. Since then its seen only regular washes will several different shampoos and the rare squirt of Z8, usually before a road trip or similar. The Z2 is still beading water and it blows right off when driving.

The gloss and slickness have dropped off a bit, but I guess thats to be expected after SEVEN MONTHS!!

I zainoed my original paint '76 five years ago. That was the last time I polished it. It spends most it's life under a cover. But when I take it out and wash it, it shines like the day I polished it, except for the rubber bumpers which have turned chalky. My '07 gets zainoed much more often.
