So, who's in for a 1st time Zaino testing?

[imported_jgv]

And who am I to disagree I'm only learning how I am going to use it My words came from some simplistic comments about Zaino products, on the opposite of how complex the all process might become.



I do believe Z6 & Z7 are essential to the full process, but not using them won't take a bite on a Z1/Z2/Z5 look on a well preped surface. And then one can decide if he likes and wants to improve using the other ones (there are plenty ).

The Z6 really makes a difference down the line, like a month or so after applying Z2/Z5. Wash and dry the car, hit it with Z6 and it looks like you just applied the Z2/Z5.



The Z7 Car Wash also has small amounts of the polish in it, so each wash helps keep it fresh.

I think it was in the midle of last year (For what I read on Autopia)

Been there .. tested the new Zaino .. and its still on the car.

Newbie here--to detailing and Zaino



I just ordered the ZFX, Z2, Z6, and Z7 and will test them out in the next week and post how it turns out. I am going to follow cvcaelen's manual.



Can someone tell me if there is another soap I can use other than Dawn? It seems to me that dishwashing soaps are meant to be harsh and may not be the best for an automotive finish.



Oh, can y'all give me a suggestion for a place to get MF towels?



Any input is greatly appreciated.

Whats cvcaelen's manual?



Dawn is specified for a reason , and yes it is harsh but your not using it daily.



I'll let the others chime in on the towels

hayless,



For occasional use such as what you have in mind, Dawn shouldn't do any damage. That said, if you'd rather not use Dawn, I'd suggest finding a prep-solvent from a local body shop/paint supply store, and using that instead. I use Hi-Temp's Prep-Solve; you spray it on, wipe it around on the panel quickly to form a wet film, then let it dry and buff with a clean dry towel. Not only does it cut out a washing step, but I'm convinced it does a better job than Dawn. Prep-solve is a pretty strong solvent, but it's intended to be safe for use on paint . . . as infrequently as I use it, I don't worry about it.
