2nd time Zaino User

g9sBMW · 04-15-2008, 11:02 PM

Took me about 5 hours to dawn, clay, wash Z7, 3 coats of Z5pro w/zfx with z6 wipedown inbetween coats. Topped it off with 1 coat of Z2pro zfx and 1 coat Z-cs

Exhausting process but the results are great!

Sweet...
I did mine the past weekend, it came out looking really nice.
Enjoy it, it's so smooth and shiny.

Looks nice! BTW, you don't have to use Dawn every time - just the first time. It serves to remove any wax that you have on the car prior to using Zaino. From what I understand, you don't even have to use ZFX every time, either. It bonds the initial coats of Zaino to the car. I found out that last bit talking to Sal Zaino (he called me on a Saturday (!) within 10 minutes of me emailing him about my debacle - great company, great product) when my ZFX dried out in the garage. Note to self: keep it in the house.

good to know, I didn't think twice about using the Dawn since Ive gotten several of the Touchless car washes where they spray rainbow wax and sealants or what not.

I figured it would be good start with a clean slate.
