Default How Often

How often is it safe to apply Zaino z-pc? Once a year? As my black car has new things showing up daily. Tried to search couldn't find much.

Thanks in advance.

I checked the Zaino site and it said to use it only when necessary. I just recently used it and found it to be very mildly abrasive. I would think that if you just need it for a few spots here and there it would be fine.

Like any polish, use only when necessary. Typically, I don't recommend polishing out a car more than once or twice a year. If you need to touch up your car daily, perhaps another strategy is in order.

Proper Washing and Drying techniques will help to avoid frequent polishing. Use the least aggressive polishes and pads also helps so that future polishing is possible. Often times a nice finish only needs a product (P21S or Pinnacle Paintwork Lotions) to remove old waxes/sealant prior to reapplication of our wax.
