About to order some Zaino. This is what I have on my list:
Z1 (or ZFX??), Z5, Z6 and Z2
Sould I get the Z1 or ZFX? this car has never been zainoed before.
So I just add ZFX to the first coat of Z2? Do I have to add ZFX each time I apply Z5 or Z2? Also, should I apply a glaze before Zainoing the car?

My vote`s for the ZFX. I use it every time with Z2 or Z5 since it accelerates curing and drying.
Don`t use a glaze before Z. Zaino needs a clean surface to bond to and glaze leaves behind lots of fillers and oils that you`ll need to wash off. Polish the paint properly with an SMR or whatever. Wash the car then bust out the Zaino.

just ordered the stuff:
Z-2, Z-5, Z-6, ZFX, #341 (x2)
hopefully $70 well spent (and from what I hear it is really good stuff)

I mix a 1/2oz batch of Z5 w/ZFX which will do my Seville twice on the flat surfaces and once on the sides. I then follow with a straight (no ZFX) application of Z2. Since that is about as much as I want to do in a day I dont put the ZFX in the final coat.

You didn`t get the Z7 car wash? It`s one of the best products I`ve ever used! You can always get it later. Have fun with Zaino!

To get the best results, follow what Sal Zaino has posted on the Zainobros website under tips & tricks.
Strip the wax: Dawn dishwashing liquid
Clay the vehicle, wash again, this time with Z7 or whatever really good car wash product Meguiars 00.
Use the ZFX with both Z5 and Z2, and use the Z6 spray between coats. Nice stuff that Z6!
I`ve used Meguiars #9 ver 2 to remove most of the swirls, then cleaned again with Z6, let sit overnight, then proceeded with Z5/Z2 coats and Z6.
Use 100% USA cotton towels as he says: Royal Velvet etc
TAKE YOUR TIME! You will be rewarded with a stunning vehicle after your hard work.
Enjoy the Zaino with ZFX!

Just used the Z-2 and ZFX for the first time over the weekend and the stuff is great. Much better than wax. I failed to use the Z-6 between coats though so I`ll have to remember that for next time. The washing with Dawn and using the clay bar really helped immensely as well. I am very excited about my first real detail.
From what I understand now, I can wash with regular car wash (Meguiar`s Gold Class), then just dry and use the Z-6?

Bucky,
Yep, just wash and Z6 it! Maybe one day try the Z7 wash, not bad and it was made for the product line anyway.
Gotta love that Zaino! Getting great results on a Red car!
Amazing what a clay bar removes huh? And that was on the paint!
You did wash again, this time with the Meguiars after they clay work?
That Z6 stuff is great! It replaced the Meguiars #34 Final Inspection in my supplies. Z6 does a great job of refreshing the finish and it is so slick!
Enjoy the product, I sure am!

Snakeman..I am the first to admit. I am not really a truck guy. A truck is a truck. But your truck is SWEET!!! I don`t even know what I am looking at. But something looks special. Something looks meaner. Is that a custom grille and front end? What kind of wheels are those? Stock size? What is it about that truck? It`s more that the whacky purple glow and the fantastic Zaino shine! Rock on!:bow

Brad... Yea.. it is totally customized. new front bumper, billet grill, roll pan. I put a 2/4 lowering kit on, which accents the stock 20" wheels alot better and looks real even stance. take a look at my cardomain site. just click on the link.
thanks for the compliments:D
