another question for you guys (and gals)...
if i wanted to get get on the zaino train. which one should i use for my vehicles? 2003 vw jetta (silver) 2003 GMC yukon (dark silver). I believe z-2 would be the right choice. is z-1 required before z-2 or would it be ok to apply it after polishing with Menzerna Final Polish?
Thanks again...

I`d always use Z1 after polish and before Z2 ;)

Hey biohazard,
This what you`d want to do it RIGHT and as quick as possible doing the Zaino method.
ZFX, Z2, Z6, Z18 (clay), and Dawn regular soap
Here are the steps, follow them and you will get good results.
-Wash with Dawn, get all dirt with washmit
-Rinse car, don`t dry yet
-Z18 the car. Don`t push on the bar, just slide it with VERY light to no pressure. Make sure to fold the bar when it gets dirty.
-Mix 4 drop of ZFX with 1-2oz. of Z2. 2oz. should get your 3 coats with some to spare.
-Apply the mix of ZFX/Z2 very lightly in a back and forth motion. NOTE: don`t use much. A quarter sized drop on the applicator should cover 1/2 - 3/4 of the hood. You want to make sure it is applied sparingly so it dries FASTER.
-Once you got it on the entire car, make sure it is dry, if so, start buffing where you started using a microfiber. If not, clean the interior while it dries.
-Once done, use the Z6. Again use sparingly. One full spray should cover the hood. Half a spray should cover the fender/quarter/door. The microfiber should only be slightly damp after doing the whole car, if it`s soaked, you used and wasted too much.
-Reapply ZFX/Z2 then wipe off
-Z6 again
-Reapply ZFX/Z2 one last time
-Z6 again
The third coat of ZFX/Z2 and Z6 should be the cherry on top.
Good Luck
Erik
