>>Does Zaino reduce the frequency with which washes are needed?
That would depend on what your personal tolerance for “dirty� is.
I think that most Zaino users would agree that a car finished with Z-2 or Z-5 will stay “cleaner� for longer than an average car’s finish.
It’s my experience that with my cars finished with Z-2 do a better year-round job of shedding normal amounts of “daily driven� dust and dirt, than do Carnauba based top coats.
I live in Florida, so the constant heat tends to make a dust magnet out of most Carnauba based products.
>>Once you have done the full initial application, do you use Z6 or Z8 with every wash?
I always “at least� hit the larger panels (hood, trunk, upper door area and fenders) with Z-6 or Z-8.
The Z-8 can be a little trick to work with at first, and in comparison to Z-6 or other detail sprays (small amounts, light, light sprays)…..however I can notice a difference in the overall “BAM!!â€� appearance after just a wash and a QD with Z-8.
>>how often does one have to go through a full detail (clay, Z2 and or Z5 with ZFX)?
You only need the ZFX when applying more than one coat in a 24hr period.
You can wash, QD, and add 1 coat of Z-2 or Z-5 as regular maintenance…..probably every 4-6 months.
If the first application’s paint prep is done “right� the Zaino will still be there and looking good after 6 months.
Re-claying should probably be done at least once a year for daily driven cars, and that’s probably no matter what sealers and top-coats you are using.
