Default First time Zaino (what to buy?)

Hey it's my first time zaino'ing the 99z28. What products do you suggest I buy? Let me know which ones (ex. Z-3 or whatever you suggest and where it should be used and applied?).

Thanks VERY much!

For detailing the outside I just ordered the below.. In addition pickup a claybar at your local autozone or the like and hit the car with that too. World of difference!!

Z-2 Z-2 Show Car Polish for Clear Coated Car Finishes 1 $12.95 $12.95
ZFX ZFX Flash Cure Accelerator Additive 1 $19.95 $19.95
Z-6 Z-6 Ultra Clean Gloss Enhancer Spray 1 $9.95 $9.95

Don't forget the Z7 Show Car Wash and, if you have a leather interior, the Z9 and Z10 leather cleaner / treatment. That really completes the process.

Some people think using this Zaino system is a real PITA and, well, maybe it it. But the results are freakin' awesome!

It sounds so much harder than it is especially with ZFX.
You put it on and take it off. No more putting coat on a coat,
waiting 3 days etc...Its just like any other product except you add
a few drops of ZFX to it, SIMPLE.
If you have a dark car, you will use Z5 most of the time so order
2 bottles per 1 Z2. Trust me. I have black and swirl is my arch enemy.
I do mine in the 3 coat per 24 hour allowed. First 2 are Z5 and last Z2.
I don't use that much Z6 cause I hate to touch the damn black paint.
Plus I dilute mine 1:1 cause its way easier that way so 1 bottle is like 2.

If I were starting out I'd order
1 Z2
2 Z5
1 Z6
2 Z7
1 ZFX

You can find interior stuff that's just as good locally.
Personally I've found that Blue Magic leather creme conditioner
works best for me and is 4 bucks for a big bottle

Another thing is that you can email Sal Zaino at wet@zainobros.com
He is really cool and will help you fast. Customer Service at Zaino is
as good as their products. Just try not to ask about something that
could easily be found out on their site. PM me if you need any help too.
