Zaino: amount to use?

[JimS]

I have a white Chevy Silverado which now, as of yesterday, has 5 coats of Zaino on it.



This is the first time I`ve ever used Zaino and everything I`ve read/heard tells me to use it VERY sparingly....extremely light coating.



Yesterday while applying the 5th coat I used approximately 3/4 of an ounce on the entire truck including a tonneau cover and the chrome wheels and the grill/bumper/air dam, and all the windows.



Do you think I`m using enough? It just does not seem right to use that little of the product! It`s hard to believe that I`m doing anything, covering anything, protecting anything, with that miniscule amont of sealant. That`s about 4 match-head sized drops for half the hood, or 6 of those drops for half of the tonneau cover.



Is that enough?????



Thanks, JimS

Hey Jim,

3/4 oz is the right amount. i use between 1/2 - 3/4 of an ounce on my F-150 Extended cab.



With Zaino less is more. Can we see a pic?

3/4 oz for your Silverado sounds about right. I use a little less that 1/2 oz on my Z3.

I use less than 10 mls (less than 1/3 oz) for a honda accord. I use 30ml syringes which really help me ration the stuff out so that i dont use too much.

least is best! Too much and it is more difficult to polish off!

The thinner the coat, the better the shine :). Your 3/4 oz for a large vehicle sounds about right.



How`s the shine? That should tell you how your doing.

it`s seems nothing left on the truck that is not zainod with 3/4 oz which is great, now once you get use to it you will even use less then that. and like everybody say little goes long way

[JimS]

Well.....the truck looks great (pictures to come later...I don`t know how to post them but my wife may), and everybody says I`m doing it right so I guess I`ll continue with what I`m doing. Maybe I just have the idea in my head that more is better....and I guess it is if more means layering.



Thanks everybody!!!
