Default Ziano Tutorial please?

Hi, I have never waxed my car ever, so I have no clue how to and what to do?

Can someone provide with a step by step procedure along with that stuff to order which might help a lot of other people as well..

My car is still 2 months away but I love my Infiniti equally and wouldnt want to try on this one before I get to do it on the vette..

Thanks a ton in advance..

Thanks..

I am looking at ZKIT-1, is that an overkill for someone who wants to keep the car clean..and not for a showcar look..

How long does it take to apply this and is it really a lot of work and how often do you need to apply this?

Thanks..

I tried it for the first time on my new C6... used Zaino's 'show car finish in a day' tutorial... came out amazing.

Go by that... it'll look great.

I am also still waiting for my C6 to arrive later this month.

I followed the tutorial on the Zaino site on my restofied 70 442. 6 coats in 2 weekends. It came out nice.

I am hoping my LMB C6 comes out as well.

3rd lesson...APPLY VERY LIGHTLY and EVENLY! less than 1/2 half ounce will do your whole car (1 coat), with some left over most likely! Apply it too heavy and you got a tough afternoon ahead of you. I found a microfiber applicator better for my ham-handed efforts than cotton/terry one.

Thanks a lot guys...I guess once I have the product and tried, I will be better informed but how long does the product/kit last ? how many time can you apply it and generally how many coats are good to apply every time?

Thanks again for more help..
