Default Who uses Zaino ??

i have a few questions about their products.

i have the usual light swirls etc. what would be the best combination to use to remove the swirls and polish. ive seen on their site most of the people seem to layer Z2 and Z5.

Second, are the Z2 and Z5 considered a sealant or do i need to apply a wax after i use zaino?

Finally, where else can you get it besides their site??

thanks

Personally I would use some Menzerna that Tropi-Care sold with a PC (I forgot their new company name) then use the Zaino Z2,Z5 by HAND for your polish. Then I forget what-else they sell to seal it. It's been awhile since I did my car. I have like 10 coats and it still looks as good as the day I applied them.. I never really drive the car.

You can only get Zaino from their website.

Checkout the Zaino website it will tell you what everything does..

I think the Z2 is for lighter color cars (hides light swirls) and Z5 is for darker colored cars.

I use both on SOM but only by hand and buff with the Menzerna.

I use both z2 and z5. Z5 works a little better as a scratch remover, but wont replace a buffer/mezerna.

If you have swirls you're going to have to remove them with a cutting polish of some sort. If they're light, you might be able to get it out with some Swirl Cutter from TropiCare.

However, I would use some Menzerna Super Intensive Polish and do the whole car. Then use Zaino Z2 (and z5 if you'd like) to seal the car. Zaino is more of a sealant than something to remove imperfections.

Yes it's expensive, but it's worth every penny.
