View Full Version : Question about using AIO as base for Zaino
I know many of you have had success using AIO as a base under Zaino. I plan to do this next time I `Z` my car.
One question:
Is it necessary to wash the car between AIO and Z5/Z2? If so, is a regular Z7 wash OK or should Dawn be used?
I searched, but didn`t seem to find a definitive answer. Thank you!

I`ve always used AIO as a substitute for a dawn wash, which means I went straight to zaino. There`s no obvious different with or without dawn wash.
Sal Zaino would say you should wash with dawn, though.
I don`t use Zaino, but I`m pretty sure you can go right to Z. After AIO it is "clean" and shouldn`t have anything that interferes.
Thank you! I will go right to the Zaino after AIO. I asked Sal, and Sal said not to even bother with the AIO. :) That`s why I wanted to know from people who`ve actually done it.

AIO as a base for Zaino ROCKS!!!!! :xyxthumbs
No wash necessary but a Z6 misted MF wipedown would not hurt. :wavey
That`s good to hear, blkZ28Conv. And I`ll definitely do the Z6 before Zaino.

AIO has been my preference as the base for any of the synthetics for quite some time now. Great results and no complaints yet!

I just did a round on my black S-10 of 1Z-MP, AIO both with PC, then Z1 and Z2. Today i`ll do a layer of Z5, then one more Z2 followed by Souveran wax.
It does look much better to me than just the Zaino by itself did and I can`t wait to put the Souveran on it.

I guess I`ll be different and I can`t tell if there`s AIO under my Zaino or not.I like using it because it makes the Zaino deal easier,but after I polish I see little difference using AIO after to clean up the oils and fillers from the polish.I just can`t see anything extra to the Zaino with the AIO under it.:nixweiss

Does the AIO not make the shine a touch more sterile?
