I have had the Zaino system for years, but for the life of me I can't remember the sequence on how it needs to be applied. Been to the Zaino site and dumb@$$ me I can't figure it out? :oops: :shock:
Can someone tell me the easiest way to remember.
Thanks in Advance

Depends on where you are with the different types. To start with, I would:
1. wash the car
2. Use Zaino Claybar
3. Wash again
4. Depending on swirls use #5 as much as needed to get the swirls out.
5. Then use #2 show finish, again as many times as you want.
6. Always finish each coat with a spray of the #6 gloss enhancer.
Remember if you have been using it for a while that they have added the additive to the line of products that you mix with each of the #2 and #5 before applying that helps the stuff adhere better.
Hope this helps

Cool, now don't u need for sometimes to dry for 24 hours before removing from the surface of the car?

I believe that you can put on 3 coats in 24 hours.
By the way, they just came out with 2 new products and they sound real good. Z8 and ZPC. Z8 http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=Z-8&Category_Code=Zaino is a spray for final detailing and supposed to be real good as a high gloss shine and UV protectant. ZPC http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=Z-PC&Category_Code=Zaino is supposed to be real good for swirls and give the paint a real deep shine. Read it all at zainostore.com. Really like all their products.

Geez, this really sounds like more work than I want to do. How long does this "magic" stuff last ?

Not interested in your baby, I'm interested in your kat. lol
Seriously and not trying to be anymore of a smart ass than I was above ( my apologies, couldn't resist) but by waxing as often as you do, is there any sign of any wax buildup or is the Zaino more of a thinner wax coating?

Every shot I have seen of your beauty is been outstanding. The flames really add quite a bit and the paint is beautiful. Maybe I'll look into this "stuff".

We do the 5 step Maguire's process on the Kat...alot of the Acura-CL forums guys do Zaino...

I thought Maguire's was a three step? What in the hell is a five step? Do you need to go over the car FIVE times?

Its pretty amazing. Especially using scratch X for manual removal of swirls and scratches..i actually help fix a camaro's bumber that was scratched full of paint/concrete from a bad backup in a parking garage..good as new!

thanks old buddy !! :tu:
this picture was when the car was dirty.....you can even see yellow bug splat on the nose.... but the old Zaino really makes it shine...sometimes its hard to get a decent picture of it because there is so much reflection off the paint....

You're welcome. IMHO, your ride is one of the best I have ever seen.
By the way, where in the hell is that nasty yellow bug splat? You may be as anal as me on car cleanliness.

one of these days i will stop getting excited about this car...
If I do, have me killed...lol
the bug guts are 2" to the right of the third from the bottom grill fin... if you save the image , then magnify it, you'll see the poor little fellows remains.....
