Zaino after repaint: Z6 and Z7 safe to use?

ed328ci · 06-01-2006, 02:21 PM

Just got the passenger side repainted. I understand that I can't wax my car for a month, but can wash it in the meanwhile. My question is, is Z6 and Z7 safe to use on my car now? I think Z7 has a bit of Zaino polish mixed in. Thanks.

Im not exactly sure but Ive been told to not to put any solvents on my car for 30days...They said some waxs/polishs have solvents in them..Not sure on the zaino but Im waiting to apply it..
The body shop did put a coat of something on it though thats for sure the damb asses didnt even get it all out of the cracks on the rear bumper!

zaino is ok

it won't damage the paint in any way shape or forum

I'm sure Z7 is fine to use but you may want to ask Sal about the Z6. I'd be surprised if he says not to but if I'm unsure I go right to the source. He's extremely generous with his time and has a genuine concern for how his products are used.

no wax or any sealants for 60-90 days. You need to let the solvents evaporate out of the paint. If the car was baked you can go right ahead and do whatever you like.

Z6 is ok, it's just a regular quick detailer. I believe Z7 will be ok too, but ask Sal. If you're really worried about it and want to wash with Z7 just wipedown with some alcohol/water afterwards (which would remove any sealant on the paint). Z8 would definitely not be ok.
