Default First time Zaino user!

What steps do I need to do first on my black corvette.

I have Z18 (Clay Bar), ZFX, Z2, Z5, Z6, Z7. Ill be doing my rims. So let me know what I need to do.

What I was planning on doing is this. First washing the car off with Dawn, then Claybar with a cap full of Z7 Mixed in a spray bottle. Then wash the car down with Z7, then Start with Z2 mixed with ZFX, then do like 3 layers of Z5, and then whipe off with Z7.

I will be doing my polished rims, I can do this correct?

I Dawned, then got a spray bottle w/ water and put about 4 drops of Z-7 and sprayed and clayed, sprayed and clayed etc...( while the car still wet!!) Once I was done clayin' I rewashed the car w/ Z-7. I dried and used Z1 and put Z2 right on top of it. Let dry and wip of with a 100% cotton cloth. Then grabbed a cold beer sipped and used Z5, grabbed another cold beer while I let it dry and wiped off.

It is also recommended that when you are wiping the dry wax off, use a up and down motion on the sides of the car and front and back on the top. Make sense?

I didn't use ZFX so I can't help you there, sorry.

Hope this helps, you getting the ride ready for AMC 30 tomorrow night are ya? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Let me know how it comes out.

Don't do any swirl motions, or you will have swirls. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Good luck. I am a die hard Zaino user myself. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

It is to my understanding that you put about 3 coats of Z5 on first, and then the Z2 for a deeper shine.

Last year I started with Z5, 5 coats, then switched to Z-2 with Z6 in between each coat. This year I picked up some Z1 and started with that, let dry and applied Z2 right over top. Don't under estimate the power of Z1 as a starting point. Really made a difference with me. <img border="0" alt="[gruffy cottonball]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_gruffy.gif" />
