New to Zaino I've been hearing of Zaino for years and now I've finally gotten a car worthy of it, 2000 WS6 Black/Black with under 12k miles. The previous owner used Zaino but I'm not sure which of their products. Seeing as the car has had zaino on it before I'd like to keep with that and the from I've seen the results from using Zaino are awesome.
The car stays garaged and is only driven a few times a week. I've only put about 500-600 miles on it in the month I've had it and 200 of those were when I purchased the car and drove it home. I've washed it twice so far.
What products should I get to keep with what he started?
Any advice for drying?
Any advice for a first time owner of a Black car?
Thanks a lot.

For a black car using Zaino, I recommend:
Z7 car wash
Z6 gloss enhancer
ZFX accelerator
Z5
Drying:
200+ mph leaf blower and/or waffle weave drying towel www.pakshak.com
Black car advice:
Keep it as clean as possible
Learn proper washing and drying techniques
Be prepared for swirls and scratches (they will happen)
Invest in a Porter Cable buffer w/ accessories
You will also want to pick up a claybar. Zaino makes one, but you should also be able to find Clay Magic at Auto Zone. Proper prep work will make a car looks its best, not a product. Don't fall into the Zaino trap where you won't use any other product. Zaino is very nice, but there are tons of other very nice products, too.

I use that and a chamois to dry my car. It does well, but I am going to make the switch to microfiber towels to replace the chamois. The blade does well, no scratches or anything for me yet, and I have heard of no complaints so far.
I agree with the above statements, proper prep work before you apply Z5 is a must if you want your cars paint to be smooth as glass and to have that nice shine to yet.
