What`s everyones favorite Zaino combo?

[Macruz19]

Everyone is different using the Zaino system, so I`m curious on what Zaino sealants you guys use to make your car have that "bling", and the ultimate protection.



Here is my current combo:



-proper prep work (menz/sonus/3M)

-Z-PC (by PC)

-Z-ZAIO (by PC)

-2x Z-5p w/ZFX

-1x Z-2p (I hope ZFX is not needed prior to Z-CS, if so oh well..)

-1x Z-CS

NEXT DAY

-Z-8



*Notice, I don`t do the Z-6 wipedown between coats since I don`t think it makes a differance. Just more work to deal with...



I`m starting to like the Z-5p in place of Z-2p on top prior to Z-CS, and the best part if I wanted that combo look NOW... Then, I can put a quick coat of Z-5p on the fly and then reseal it with Z-CS.

IMO, I think it makes my car a little darker...I don`t know, it could be the lighting, but I like it.



My GF`s Civic Hyprid, she tells me that every 2 or 3 coats of Z-5p, her car looks a little darker. She has the dark blue color.



BTW, what spray topper are you using? Z-8?

Been pretty happy with:



Prep

ZAIO

Z2 or Z5pro

Z6 wipedown before CS.

ZCS

Z8

I know everyone seems to think the PREP is the big deal with Zaino.



I have a 6 month old car with a few coats of Meg GC on it. Shortly after delievery, I clayed the car. I was thinking of using Zaino AIO and CS.



What do you guys think of the following process:



1. Wash

2. Clay

3. Wash

4. Apply Z-AIO

5. Z5-Pro

6. Z-CS



wait a day and use Z-8



Any help would be appreciated!

Midwesterner,



Prep is key for Zaino. I would polish before starting on Z-AIO, unless you have minor swirls then you can use Z-PC before Z-AIO. But yes, your lineup looks pretty good.

Good God! How long does this take you? It must be nice to have that much free time. I bet it looks amazing w/ the amount of time it must take.

Sorry to sound like a newbie, but I sort of am...What do you use to polish? Does Zaino make a product? And finally why is it so important?

[Macruz19]

I Zaino my car sections at a time, so I concentrate on removing the swirls with a polish. Zaino makes Z-PC, but it`s more of a final polish prior to the Zaino sealants. Z-PC removes minor swirls.



If I wash my car and want to add a coat of Z2p or Z5p, then I would apply it to my whole car. Whole wash/ dry/ apply/ dry/ buff would take me about 2 hours. Plus I slack and go inside the house.

Contrary to popular belief, it doesn`t take that long, since you use the ZFX Accelerator, it doesn`t have to stay on the paint long at all, and it goes on so thin and quick, I can do all three of my layers in a couple hours.

After polishing of course.....



2 coats of Z2 Pro with Z8 between and after

The silver Porsche just goes to show that you don`t have to make the Z system all that complicated.

[Macruz19]
