    just curious... we all know that the most important part of zaino is the prep work.. so what`s the last product you use before appling the zaino? so far i`ve been using the ppcl... though haven`t tried much else.

    Will Zaino bond correctly to AIO? I have been concerned when applying Zaino after prep that i haven`t stripped all of the oils from the paint, will the silicone content in AIO prevent bonding?



    I kind of doubt it, because ZFX Z5 bonded to 2 week old Blitz with nothing more than a Z7 wash, but I`m quite a newbie with Zaino.

    Puterbum,



    ZFX?? What are you, the prodigal son?? Back to Zaino now?



    I`ve tried Zaino over AIO with no (apparent) problems. But I can`t be certain as it was only on there for a couple months.



    BradB. I am simply amazed that you are able to use Finesse It (by hand I presume?) on a red car and get a marr-free, glossy surface. I`ve tried FI-2 and made a complete mess on my black bimmer. Just goes to show how important technique is.

    Just dawn & clay. Surface was preb b4 using M80. Just needed to strip my old wax. Which was Swissol Onyx. Since Zaino can`t bond with this high oil carnauba wax.
