Hi Falkofire,

I've been using Zaino for about 4 years. You can go one of two routes:

You'll want to purchase the Z-1 product for pre-conditioning, the Z-3 product for clearcoated finishes, the Z-5 product for scratch/swirl removal (I actually like 3M's compound product better for that), and the Z-7(I believe) finishing spray.

You can also go the ZFX route where Z-1 and Z-3 are "combined" for a quicker-drying product - I haven't tried that yet.

To do it right, you'll want to wash your car with Dawn dishwashing detergent to remove any wax, etc. products. I would suggest a treatment with a clay bar following the wash. After the claying, re-wash & dry the car. Apply one coat of Z-1, followed immediately by a coat (or as many as you want) of Z-3. If you need to remove scratches, apply Z-5 or other product before applying the Z-3.

Once you're done, use the Z-7 finishing spray.

I've found that three coats really makes any car look damned stunning - more coats don't really improve the appearance all that much.

I love Zaino products solely because they bead water and last seemingly longer than anything I've ever used...

Hope that helps.
