Topping Zaino

Hello fellow "Autopian" !

I spent 8 hours giving my truck the "Zaino Treatment" yesterday.Washed,Clayed,Washed,Polished,Washed again & put 3 coats of Z5 w/Z6 in between each coat. Today I'll be applying the Z2 Pro topping it with Z8! Here's what amazed me about the Zaino. My 05 Tacoma has gold & silver flecks in the black paint. At one angle it looks black.....At another angle you can see the gold flecks sparkling in the black paint......At another angle you can see the silver flecks sparkling in the black paint.........At another angle you can see a combo of all the flecks in the black paint! I've found that the Metalic flecks are more pronounced with the Zaino as compared to the Klasse Twins/P21s combo I used to use. I'm thrilled with the results of the Z5 & can't wait to apply the Z2 Pro. As for topping the Zaino..........for me ..........I don't see a need to. I might try topping the "Z" with Souveran, in a couple of months, just to see what will happen. I'd be curious to see if the Souveran mutes the "Fleckiness" of my paint and deepens the Black color. One of the great things about being an "Autopian" is the experimentation process that we all enjoy. For now......I'm just gonna enjoy the incredible look of the Zaino on my truck.....
 
Oh my God!!! It's just amazing!! Did the whole process by hand, so I'm pretty sore today. (Z2 Pro this afternoon) Quite simple the easiest product I've ever used. I gave the "BlkTac" a good prepping and the hardwork really paid off! The Z5 looks terrific......I can't wait for todays Z2 Pro session.
 
BLK TAC,



I FEEL YOUR PAIN!!!! I spent 9 1/2 hours on my F250 yesterday. Also did the Zaino. I washed,clayed, washed again.



I did prep with Sonus because of swirls, then ZFX and Z5, 2x's with the Z6 in between. Then a coat of Z2 Pro.



Later today will follow up with 2 coats and Z8.



UNCLR, UNCLE;)



Also, did the wifes CRV with a 4th coat of SG.
 
Just gotta tell ya that the time spent is worth it!!! ( keep a bottle of Advil Liqu-gels on hand!!) Not only is the Zaino the best synthetic product I've used............I feel my $99.00 purchase of the "Z" was well worth it, as well! I'm always blown away by the customer service provided by David B & his team, but I was even more thrilled to receive my Zaino order in about 2 1/2 days. Great Job Sal!!!!!
 
I have topped Zaino in the past with little to no visible difference.



Recently, I've tried topping Zaino with Souveran and Paste Glaz...VERY disappointed...I noticed no change in depth, slickness, or metallic reflection.



IMO, Zaino is best left with Zaino.



Other sealants and waxes are much more rewarding when topping.
 
I agree, ZaneO! I just got in from applying 2 coats of Z2 Pro. The "BlkTac" looks stunning! After this experience ( first time using Zaino) I don't see a need to top it. Just my opinion, ofcourse! Others may differ.
 
Of course you could top it with Z8.... Just got mine, it is perfect for a "topper". I feel like my car is finished for the first time !
 
ok, so correct me if I am wrong, but Z8 can be used as a topper alone. I was thinking that Z8 was a ehanced detailing spray.?
 
The Z8 can be considered as a QD on steroids, so to speak. It's more like a booster for the Zaino. ( as apposed to the z6 which is a QD ) You really can see a difference in gloss, depth & shine with the Z8 over the Z5/Z2 Pro. I'm very impressed with it. The Klasse Twins have been my go to sealant combo for years. ( topped w/ P21S or Souveran) I've even had a nice experience with the Wolfgang sealant. Still, the Klasse was the most durable. So far.........The Zaino has pushed my favorite Klasse Twins to the sidedwalk. If the "Z" outlasts the Klasse in the durability dept. I'll be extremely satisifed.

It lasts for weeks, that qualifies it as a topper to me. It enhances the Z2pro, so much I wouldnt use anything else. (Z8)

Sal listens to our comments and topping with foreign products was a major irritation to him. To rectify this need by some Zaino users he developed this Z8 product that is completely compatible with his sealants that will give the appearance some were seeking.



Z8= super topper. excellent discription, Rob :cool:

What is meant by "debris"? Hmmm... so I don't have to worry about 2x4, rocks, or that hunk of steel falling off the back of the truck!!! Just kidding -- but a odd choice of words.
