    Zaino. Which Product(s) Do I Buy

    I been reading about Zaino and I would like to purchase their product. I will be using them on my Aspen as well as my 1998 Stratus. Can someone please tell me which items or what kit to purchase. I've only had my Aspen for a few weeks but I've had my stratus since 1998. The stratus's paint was still shiney until I let it sit for 7 months in the sprinkler while I was deployed to Iraq. Thanks

    ZFX & Z-2 pro would be minimum
    Z-6 spray is good if you are doing multiple coats or for up-keep.

    Z-PC would not be a bad idea for the '98

    Make sure to strip the wax and clay bar and then final wash before application.

    PS- Vinegar may remove the water spots.- rinse afterwards.
    May also want to check out www.perfectautofinish.com also has a nice paint cleaner etc.

    For dark color cars I suggest Z5pro. Z6 is good for a quick detail and Z8 is excellent for the final shine. You'll need ZFX for either Z2 or Z5.

    I also love the tire shine.

    I was NOT impressed with the Z8 at all on black - left streaks did not look better then Z6 IMO.

    Z8 like all zaino products must be used sparingly. I use like 4 partial sprays for the whole car.

    Does Zaino have a product to strip was or can I pickup any quality pre-cleaner? Thanks

    Actually Zaino recommends washing the car with Dawn dish soap to strip the wax off.

    I got one of the kits from zaino for christmas and havent had a bunch of time to go through the whole routine yet. I have seen on here a few times - people saying that the thinner the coat of product you put on the better. How does that work? Seems like more would be better - right? any detail pro's out there??

    someone have a tried and true method for polishing with the zaino line up?

    There are a bunch of good info on the Zaino site. Most of the questions asked here will be answered on their site.
    I will be ordering the pro kit come spring time.

    Just did my GMG Daytona this weekend for the first time with Zaino.
    Washing with Dawn first, a must.
    Clay Bar was a pain but well worth the time.
    Z-5; three coats followed each time with Z-6. got easier with each coat.
    Z-2; three coats followed each tme with Z-6.
    Z-8; this stuff is the BOMB; The Car really stood out after that.
    NOTE: All wax was ZFX activated.

    The Zaino site has all the good info, I just printed all the instructions out and followed them.

    Zaino is a GREAT product; I just wished I would of found it earlier. It take time; but it is worth it.
