24 hour wait between coats of Zaino?

Your dealer is wrong about not using the ZFX because of the climate, climate has zero to do with using ZFX.

A BEAUTIFUL SHOW CAR FINISH IN A DAY!



Zaino Show Car Polish is designed to be layered. With each layer you apply, your car's paint looks better and feels smoother. Depth, gloss and clarity all increase with each coat.



Like all other polymer based polish and protection systems, Zaino Show Car Polish must cure before applying subsequent coats. The curing process allows the polymer chains to cross-link, building strength and durability. If the polymer strands have not cross-linked (cured), applying a fresh coat of polish will not achieve the optimum layered result. Consequently, creating a show car finish can be a long process of applying a layer, waiting, and applying another layer.



The Wait is Over!

Zaino Bros' ZFXâ„¢ Show Car Polish accelerator solves the wait problem. We worked for several years to engineer a molecular reaction that causes the polymers in Zaino Show Car Polish to set rapidly. Using ZFXâ„¢ with your choice of Z-2, Z-3 or Z-5 Show Car Polish, it is now possible to apply two or three coats of polish in a single day to create beautiful show car special effects. The result is nothing less than stunning.



ZFXâ„¢ saves you time and effort. It's no longer necessary to keep your car in the garage for a whole weekend just so you can apply two or three coats of polish. Using ZFXâ„¢, you'll apply multiple coats in just a few hours.



Prior to using ZFXâ„¢ Enabled Show Car Polish

Before applying ZFXâ„¢ enabled Show Car Polish, wash, dry and inspect your car’s finish. It should be very smooth. If the paint has a rough, bumpy feel, you have surface contamination which must be removed using our Z-18 ClayBar.



Prior to using Zaino Show Car Polish for the first time, we recommend using Dawn dishwashing liquid to wash your car. Dawn will dissolve wax and other sealants, and easily removes grease, tar and bug remains. Be sure to rinse your car very well after using Dawn. After your first application of Zaino Show Car Polish, use Z-7 Show Car Wash for regular washing.



Mixing ZFXâ„¢ with Show Car Polish

Each ZFXâ„¢ kit comes with a 2ml vial of accelerator mix and several 2 ounce mixing bottles. A single ZFXâ„¢ kit provides enough mix to accommodate 16 ounces of Zaino Show Car Polish.



Pour one to two ounces of Show Car Polish into a 2 ounce mixing bottle. For each ounce of polish, add 4 to 5 drops of ZFXâ„¢ (no more than 10 drops for two full ounces), screw the cap back on, and shake vigorously for 60 to 90 seconds.



While you get your towels and applicators ready, allow the ZFXâ„¢ enabled Zaino Show Car Polish to sit for five minutes so the ZFXâ„¢ can begin activating the polish. Give the applicator bottle a final shake for 10 seconds before using.



Applying ZFXâ„¢ Enabled Show Car Polish

Follow these easy steps:



Apply Zaino Show Car Polish enabled with ZFXâ„¢ with a 100%, made in the USA, cotton applicator. Use the polish sparingly. A small amount goes a long way, and you will be applying multiple coats.

Squirt a dime size dab of polish on your applicator and rub it into your paint using circular hand motions. Then, go over the same area using a straight back and forth motion on top panels and an up and down motion on side panels. Allow the polish to haze over (20 minutes is sufficient).

Buff off the Show Car Polish residue with a high quality, 100%, made in the USA, cotton detailing towel.

After buffing, spray the car with a light mist of Z-6 Ultra Cleanâ„¢ detailing spray. Z-6 will help buff away any remaining residue and enhances the brightness of the finish. Using Z-6, the next coat of Zaino Show Car Polish will apply even easier.

You're now ready to apply your next coat of Zaino Show Car Polish enabled with ZFXâ„¢. There's no need to wait. Simply follow steps 1-4 above one more time. Use a fresh cotton buffing towel to remove each coat of ZFXâ„¢ enabled Show Car Polish.



Note: Apply no more than three coats of Zaino Show Car Polish enabled with ZFXâ„¢ in a 24 hour period. For optimum results, use your ZFXâ„¢ enabled polish within 6 hours of mixing. Use a fresh cotton buffing towel for removal of each coat.



Note: When you are finished polishing, wash the mixing bottle inside and out with a heavy concentration of liquid dishwashing detergent and thoroughly rinse. The ZFXâ„¢ mixing bottles cannot be reused if the polish remains in the bottle for more than 12 hours. After 12 hours, it is not possible to completely clean the mixing bottle. Throw the mixing bottle and any unused polish contents away after 12 hours.
 
Just a quick up date from Sal Zaino, I mailed him to show everyones thought from the World and here's his reply:







. One more note, just to clear things up.......



The nice part about Zaino is you don't

need multiple coats for total protection...



One coat of Zaino Z-2 or Z-5 will last 6 months...

so what's with all this layering:nixweiss
 
Granted, one coat can last UP TO 6 months, but thats in an ideal world filled with garage queens. You have to take into account that most people using it on daily drivers are assaulting the finish with harsher conditions, and not every zaino user is doing the 100% perfect upkeep in-between (i.e. wash with Z7 as often as possible, as well as several Z6-only QD's between.)



the layering just makes it so you can actually get 6 months or more protection out of 3 layers. On a garage queen, 3 layers probably lasts you closer to a year. :up



not to mention that the more layers, the better your car looks (its an addiction, thats all...)
