I just Zainoed my 2008 Candy apple red GT/CS.I used the Z-2 Pro ,with the ZFX Flash cure system[ you can put 3 coats on in 24hrs.]Follow the directions carefully. The main thing is to use Dawn to wash the car first. This removes any wax or polish that may be on there. You never know what they do to a new car at the dealeship.I waxed mine the day I got it with P21S polish and thought it looked pretty good. But when a friend of mine sent me a new car warming gift of Zaino . I stripped that stuff off and man what a big difference.Zaino really brought that Candy color alive.it's hard to look at it in the bright Orlando sunshine.Use the Z-6 gloss enhancer to keep it looking great.
Now if it will only warm up and melt the 8 inches of snow we just got before the car comes in, i'll be even happier!
Got any pics of it to put up?

Well, my Zaino came in last week. Since the 'Stang isn't here yet, I decided to try it on my Trailblazer. Since it's 35 degrees out very windy, I decided to just try doing the hood. I did a quick rub with the clay, then a layer of Z5 then Z2.
WOW!
For just a quickie trial I can't believe how much it brought out the metallic in the paint. Rubbing my hand across is effortless and it feels so smooth. Comparing it to the unwaxed fender really shows the difference.
My question for the experienced... How many coats will a bottle of say Z2 do? While I was putting it on, I kept wondering if I was doing too little or too much. At least knowing how long a bottle should last will give me a good idea if i'm doing it right or not!

I can't remember, but I think I got my Z-2 to last about 10-12 applications. Used little less than one of those 2 oz. bottles to do two coats. Here's my Zaino "ultimate application" gratutious photo. Nice overcast day!

Are you using the Dawn everytime you do it? I thought the Dawn was to strip the old wax off. Why would you want to start over every time? The beauty of Zaino is that you build on it everytime.

For the reccord, dawn does strip the zaino completely off so unless you want to start from scratch every time I would stop using it. I stip the zaino off once a year(in spinr) and layer up through out the summer and fall, use the clear seal right before it gets too cold and pray for a dry winter
