Z-1

[simracer]

So I hear through the grapevine that Sal wasn`t shipping out any more Z-1. Anyone else hear the same?

[Setec Astronomy]

:nixweiss It`s still on the website (for sale in the store, I mean).

[SilverLexus]

It`s for sale I believe but I don`t think it`s necessary. You want to use Z2 or Z5 plus ZFX for best results.

Please note: Z-1â„¢ Polish Lok OR the superior ZFXâ„¢ are very important parts of the Zaino system and MUST be used with the initial application of the system, even on brand new paint. Z-1â„¢ Polish Lok OR ZFX should be used with the Zaino system twice a year on daily driven vehicles or once a year on show cars. When using ZFX, you do not need to apply Z-1.



Please note: ZFXâ„¢ Flash Cure Accelerator Additive replaces Z-1â„¢ Polish Lok and is superior to Z-1â„¢ Polish Lok. Z-1â„¢ Polish Lok is NOT necessary when using ZFXâ„¢ Flash Cure Accelerator Additive. See the ZFXâ„¢ Flash Cure Accelerator Additive page for details.







This is from their website of course.

[simracer]

Yes, I know it`s still on the website and I`m familiar with ZFX. But my distributor said he can no longer get it from Sal. As in, it`s being phased out. Just wondering if this might indicate something new is coming out or if ZFX is now truly usurping Z-1.



Just wanted to see if anyone else had heard the same.

Z1 is old technology and Sal intends to quit making it. If you want it try to track it down now. I`m sure it will be more collectible than #16 in time:chuckle:

Did not hear anything recently about Z-1 gradualy being phased out but after trying ZFX and Z-5P/Z-2P last summer for the first time, I also question the purpose of Z-1 today.



But what I did hear about 6 months ago was that Sal has been working on some accelerator being pre-mixed with Z 5+2 at the factory. Hence, no more buying and mixing of ZFX.

I`m not disagreeing with you, but that doesn`t make any sense. If it was premixed wouldn`t it just "cure" in the bottle, like it does now if you mix some ZFX in and let it sit? (I guess that happens, I`ve never tried that) It wouldn`t really meet the definition of an accelerator if you could mix it in at the factory.

I wouldn`t hold my breath for that one. I don`t think it can be done-at least not yet.

I can think of a reason to not get rid of Z1, price. With ZFX only, the price to try Zaino becomes upwards of $30. For half that you are well on your way to some other great products.

[simracer]

Amen to that, Yakky.



It`s one of the reasons that I liked Z-1. That and the fact that I typically just do one layer of Z-2. I`ve shied away from ZFX because of the cost and the associated product waste if you don`t end up using all of the Z-2 that you mix with it. Which of course only adds to the cost.



All I know is that if Z-1 is going away and nothing better takes its place, I can sure see myself becoming a Jeff`s Werkstatt user. I`ve got some on my Christmas list, so we`ll have to see what Santa brings

Same for me. No Z1 means I`m done when it`s all gone.:sadpace:

Bingo, Spoiledman. Which is sort of disappointing because I`ve been an avowed Zaino user since `96 or `97.



Here`s hoping Sal surprises us all (and soon).

You guys are making a mountain out of a molehill. Just buy ZFX, it`s better technology and performance.



Z2Pro and ZFX is an amazing combo.

When you start paying the difference in the price I`ll buy all the ZFX you think I should.:dance
