Thumbs up Zaino followup

I have 2 coats of z5 on per directions and it is already very shiny and slick. It is very easy to use after the fear is gone. Still have some swirls so I'll put on another coat of z5. Let you know. George

Sorry, George!

You are not a true Zaino guy until you have at least 6-10 coats of Z5 an perhaps a half dozen or more coats of Z2.

Then and only then will you have a true Zaino shine!

Zaino is like a drug! The more you do it the more you wanna do it!

You will eventually have to STOP Zainoing but for now you must continue on!

Thumbs up Yeah-ha fer Zainooooo!

He-he I gotta laugh at the post below about where to get the Meguaire's anti-swirl or something like that.

Man. just did the z2-z5 twice in two days and it's addicting as all get out. I used fret about the Meg. wax there was ALWAYS that oily smear that told the world that you didn't get enough on it and did not rub it enough, then when the sun hits it just right the swirls show up like a carnival light show and the final insult the white powder that would attrack the Dallas cowboys and Bill Klinton!!!!!!!!

This stuff is sooooooo easy to apply and to take off. The wife thought I was nuts fer going to wally world and buying the white towels but after she saw the car she just grinned, he-he that's it maybe tonight I get lucky!!!!! My old Ford (93 F150 4x4) has the strawberry paint and it looks like a wet mirror with only one coat of z2 and z5. So all I can say for the die hard Meg. users more power to yah but I'm getting old and lazy and easy is my choice!! and the results are just plain old killer.............

That stuff is awesome. I have been using it for about 3 years. Z2 and Z5 have the best odor. Wipe-on, wipe-off, sniff...Wipe-on...

Remember to apply and remove up and down on the vertical surfaces to avoid swirl marks.

Hey Tom, give me a chance this 24 hour wait between coats is a killer. I am doing it in an unheated garage so I'm letting it sit overnight to dry. Maybe I'll be done by spring. George

A Zaino Tip!

Here is a Tip to those folks who want to know if they should clay the surface of the car prior to Zaino!
I can't take credit because Sal @Zaino gave the tip to me.

Take your fingertips and wrap them with with some Saran Wrap or any kind of Plasic Wrap. Rub your fingertips enclosed in the wrap over the surface of your car. If you feel any type of grit or roughness (Almost feels like sand) CLAY!!!!!

If not save yourself the Clay step!
