Question about first real detailing...

[Mhaynes772]

Okay, so I just purchased my new 07 BMW M6 convertible. It`s Black on Sepang. I also just purchased the Zaino Kit-2 which includes:



ZFXâ„¢ Flash Cure Accelerator Additive

Z-2 PROâ„¢ Show Car Polish for Clear Coated Car Finishes

Z-5 PROâ„¢ Show Car Polish for Swirl Marks and Fine Scratches

Z-6â„¢ Ultra Clean Gloss Enhancer Spray

Z-7â„¢ Show Car Wash

Z-9â„¢ Leather Soft Spray Cleaner

Z-10â„¢ Leather in a Bottle

Z-16â„¢ Perfect Tire Gloss

Z-18â„¢ ClayBar

Zaino Metallic Silver Decal







So what do you recommend I do. Where do I start! lol

[ZaneO]

Wash

Clay

Wash

Seal

[Mhaynes772]

okay, you`re about to see what an amateur I am...whats seal?

[ZaneO]

Apply a sealant. In your case, Z5 Pro and/or Z2 Pro.

I agree with Zane.



Wash

Clay

Sealent (Z2 or Z5)

Leather Conditioner



Sealent is like a wax but much much more durable and bonds to your car`s clearcoat which is why you want to claybar it first to remove exterior contamination.



Put on 2 or 3 coats of the Z2 or Z5 for extra longevity.:usa

Yup, and read the directions on Zaino Show Car Polish (http://www.lazaino.com/)

You will find all the help you need there.

And thats an understatement :p

[Mhaynes772]

Well I have always been into detailing my car and keeping it clean. I am extrememly anal and my car has minimul spider scratches (from the dealer). This will be my first time to use a "real" wax and I just wan`t sure what to do. Zaino is confusing, lol. Also, since I have the scrates, swirls, whatever you call them, I`ll need to use the Z5 I suppose. Do I use it once and then use Z2? What do you think, my stuff comes in tomorrow, so I`ll being doing it then.



Also, how do I tell if towels are a real 100% cotton? I hear some can say that and really are not.

I may have to try Zaino products... I see so many using them.

Yea what they said.. wash, clay, maybe glaze, wax.
