Description for each Product (taken from the Zaino Website)
ZFX Flash Cure Accelerator Additive
ZFX is a Zaino Show Car Polish cross-linking and acceleration additive. It offers near-instant cure time, reduced surface distortion, enhanced polish flexibility, and improved bonding to both paint and additional layers of Show Car Polish. In simple terms, ZFX vastly improves paint surface appearance and increases polish durability.
Z-2 PRO Show Car Polish for Clear Coated Car Finishes
The extraordinary gloss, shine, depth, clarity, and reflectivity make Z-2 PRO the highest rated and most respected product in the industry. Z-2 PRO is so easy and applies so thin that an 8 ounce bottle can yield up to 24 applications of product! Durability, looks, ease of use, and cost per application make Z-2 PRO the pure winner.
Z-5 PRO Show Car Polish for Swirl Marks and Fine Scratches
Darker colored vehicles are prone by the easily visible surface marring or fine scratches from regular maintenance. Z-5 PRO and its micro filling technology gradually reduce the appearance of these surface imperfections without using any abrasives. Without using cheap oils or cheap fillers that merely last until your next car wash, Z-5 PRO protects and lasts like no other product.
Z-6 Ultra Clean Gloss Enhancer Spray
The Best Quick Detailer ive EVER used!!!!
For quick detailing between washes or a quick wipe down after washes, Z-6 enhances and maintains the Zaino look. Z-6 is so concentrated, that a little really does go a long way. By far, a customer favorite, a bottle of Z-6 should always be close at hand. For fast and safe removal of dust, water spots, finger prints, and light soil, use Z-6 frequently.
Z-7 Show Car Wash
Without any harsh detergents, Z-7 uses special water based lubricants to buffer the paint from scratches, swirling, or marring. Even in hard water conditions, Z-7 produces long lasting suds that gently slide dirt, grit, and debris off your vehicle surface. Frequent use of Z-7 within the Zaino system will enhance the gloss and extend the durability of Zaino protectant products.
Z-9 Leather Soft Spray Cleaner
Designed to clean without any harsh detergents, Z-9 safely cleans and restores the like new look of leather without damaging the clear coat protection or natural oils in leather. Z-9 is so gentle, that it doesn’t cause premature leather damage including cracking, shrinking, and drying.
Z-10 Leather in a Bottle
Customers LOVE our Z-10 Leather in a Bottle, and for good reason! Z-10 softens and brings back the smell of leather. With Ultra-Gard UV protection, and our exclusive real leather oil concentrate, Z-10 penetrates and preserves all fine leathers for years of beautiful service. After just one use, your car will have that great new leather smell again. No harmful silicone oils and no greasy looks here. For a subtle satin conditioned finish, you’ll love Z-10 too!
Z-16 Perfect Tire Gloss
Perfect is right. One application of Z-16 leaves an incredibly durable, water repellent, perfect looking satin finish, that's only slightly glossy and dry to the touch. Our unique formula contains Ultra-Gard UV protection and our exclusive moisturizing and antistatic solution to prevent drying, cracking and browning. Z-16 helps repels dust and dirt to keep your tires looking great, longer. Z-16 is not greasy and won’t sling off onto your paint.
Z-18 ClayBar
Whether old or new, claying a vehicles surface is very important to its overall health and appearance. Particularly important on brand new cars, claying removes surface and embedded contaminants that are harmful to the life of the finish. These spots, stains, or residues seriously detract from the depth of the paint and the performance of any applied sealant or wax product. If your car isn’t baby skin glass smooth to the touch, you could benefit from claying the surface. Conventional soaps and polishes simply can’t clean the surface like claying can.
Z-AIO All-in-one
For a one stop product, Z-AIO is an excellent solution to simplify surface maintenance. Used by hand or with a random orbital buffer, Z-AIO can either be used by itself, or as an excellent foundation to the Zaino protectant and sealant system. Z-AIO’s emulsifying cleaning action and very fine abrasives are perfectly safe for all vehicle types... auto, marine, air, etc.
The whole kit comes in a Bucket
Heres a pic of what came with the kit (the Z-7 is not shown because i ran out)
These are the best pictures i could find as of right now that shows the car after being done with the Zaino Kit..
the kit is easy to use, u have to work fast while applying the polish so i always do a 2ftx2ft section at a time.. i hand applied the polish, but i tried using my porter cable buffer as well with it and actually liked the hand application result alot better..
more to come on Zaino tomorrow
Now as for the Poorboy's Stuff i have
Poorboy's Wheel Wax/Sealent
Poorboy's Leather Stuff
Poorboy's SSR 3
Poorboy's Super Slick & Sud's Car Wash
The Wheel Sealent is Applied like ur Typical Wax. It's very thick and paste like.. apply to a haze and wipe clean..It protects ur Wheels against road grime, dust, scratches, dirt etc..with this applied ive found that it is much easier to clean my Wheels and there has been less brake dust on them..
The Leather Stuff is applied by hand, u squirt alittle of it on ur clean palm and rub it into the leather and about an hour later wipe clean, gives ur leather a really soft feel and smells great... i was amazed at how dirty mine were after using this product, i previously used leather wipes all the time but not anymore..
The SSR3 is for deep scratches, i had a few so i used this product on them with very good results, u will need to use a buffer for this step.. with my porter cable it was setting 4 or 5 and then i used a polishing compound to bring the shine back..
The Super Suds is great..alittle better then the Z-7 i had from Zaino..i use a very soft Fieldcrest 100% Cotton Bath Towel everytime i wash my car, they are very hard to find and expensive..
Boosted, are you using any type of machine for your car?
