Holy cow!!!! I can finally get into this darn Zaino conversation since I have had Z2 and Z5 in my hands for the last 48 hrs. I finally gave into the shakes and cold chills from not ordering it. I went into the garage and chose three cars to try it on. A Porsche Carrera GT (porsche black) a Cayman S (black with gold/silver flake) and a Ford GT (silver). I think I have posted C&B on these cars in the past.

The outcome- After 2 coats of both Z5 and then Z2 I noticed a crisp, plastic look to them. This is something new to a guy that has always used carnubas. (except winter time when 21 was used. I have to say that I really kind of dig the look. The owner of the car collection really liked this look also. But the real reason for switching to these products was for their stated protection. That is a wait and see can of deal which is pretty easy for me since these cars are washed and detailed only by me. A chemist I am not, but even a lay person such as I could tell how well these products bond to the paint. Speaking of being a chemist, it is a little strange to measure out product when adding ZFX to it. I don't really like feeling rushed with the 12 hours you get out of the product once you mix the two. I usually have a little left over and feel like I am wasting it.

In closing- after using it for the first time I was impressed with Zaino. I bought the starter kit and it seems like I need to add to it with some of the other Z's they have. I have to admit that my head was spinning a little bit with all the different Z#'s they name their products. I am looking forward to trying it on the soft paint of a Bentley and a Aston that are both black. The owner wants me to put it on all of his cars that he drives on a regular basis.

Todd- what is the trick to applying this stuff so that you are not wasting it. They sent me some of their applicators but it seems like the sealant just soaks into them.
