Go to Zaino's website, great info and help there. If you're unsure just call and ask for Sal and he can explain it all.

Check some of the stickies on washing techniques. Then go to the Z site. You'll probably need z7 to wash, z2 or maybe z5 (for the black) to seal, then z6 and/or z8 for final finishes.

Less is MORE. The little mixing bottle you will get holds enough for at least 4 coats of z2/5, but you can't put that many on in time once you've added the zfx hardener. Keep a little bit of Dawn soap to wash out the little bottle when you are done.

Best regards,
Wede
