CHRIS'S 98 SS

Im a new user to the zaino products and have a question on what i bought. I did the process on my silver ss wash with dawn dry clay bar wash again, used swirl remover on my car and wiped off then i used zfx with z2 and waxed then z6 then wax then z6 then waxed and let sit all night and wiped off this morning and z6 my car again. Do i wax again after 24 hours and z6 one more time and when do i use z8 and z-cs (clear seal) or did i waste my money on those two products.

what do you mean by waxed? You don't put wax over zaino, that is a no no. What swirl remover did you use? You can realistically use the Z5 (swirl remover for darker cars) then ZFX/Z2 as many coats as you want as the ZFX allows you to do so.

The process should be with what you have.

Dawn
Clay
Dawn
ZFX/Z2 - usually 2 or 3 coats will do.
The Z6 you spray a bit on the applicator to keep it moist before you put the Z2 onto it.
Z8

If i were you I would get Z5, I know it's geared for a darker cars but it helps to fill small swirl marks.

Then you can do:

Dawn
Clay
Dawn
Z5/w Z6 on applicator
ZFX/Z2 with Z6 on Applicator - 2 or 3 coats.
Z8 once complete with everything.

I've never used Z-CS so I am not sure if you wasted your money or not.

i waxed with z2 and zfx as a base. after i clayed and washed i used z-pc paint cleaner swirl remover then z2 with zfx then z6 then z2 thenz6 then z2 then z6. so now i need to z8 but when do i use z-cs(clear seal).

SOMSS1LE

ok, you had me confused because Z2 is not a wax, it's a polish. You can use the Z-CS as the last thing you put on to "seal" the Z2.

CHRIS'S 98 SS

do i use z8 then z-cs or z-cs the detail it with z8?

SOMSS1LE

To be honest I'm not 100% sure but I would seal all the polish in there , so after the Z2 I would put the Z-CS. Then you can use the Z8 as your quick detailer ontop of the sealer.

Yeah they call zaino a polish but it's really a polymer sealent. Kind of confusing.

As for the correct order. SOM is correct. As for the clear sealent. Maybe you'll have better luck than I did but it streaked pretty bad on a black car. I now use that on our lighter vehicles and stick with Z-5 and Z-2. Once I get about 4 layers of Z-5 on my car I start with Z-2 if I have time and Z-8 after every other wash. Good luck.

Unless the intent is to not polish the car again for months, I'd skip the sealant.
