Zaino Questions...

My car is in need of some appearance care bad. I saw a thread about the new Zaino Swirl Remover and my car really needs this. But what else goes along with using Zaino.

I've seen people throw around stuff like Z5, etc. I have no idea what I need to get the polish, wax, etc. I'll be claybarring it also, so someone please tell me what I need to order. Thanks.

Get Z1, ZPC, Z2, Z6, and Z8. Read the information that Zaino has on their site, (product info, tips and tricks). Your paint will never be the same. Zaino is Awesome. Good Luck!

If you use ZFX, I don't think you need Z1. The ZFX helps the polishes cure much faster. Helped me out a few times. Like Mason said, all info is on their site.

Would I use the Swirl Remover before that first or after that

The swirl remover first, then your Z2 (Z5 if you have a dark car) with the ZFX mixed in

Once you start, take your time and do all the steps correctly. Make sure not to settle for "good" results. You'll love the final results, even though you may have to wipe some sweat off your newly polished car. When your done, post some pics and show it off.

Don't get carried away with trying to do all the coats of this and all the layers of that...

Since you've decided to use Zaino, do a process similar to this:

Wash w/ any car wash soap
Claybar - Zaino Z18, Clay Magic, etc.
Wash again
Remove defects - Z-PC Fusion
Apply Zaino Z2 Pro with ZFX (1 oz. needs 4 drops of ZFX and will do 3 full coats on your car)
Do a final wipedown QD with Z6 or Z8

Your basic shopping list should consist of:

Claybar
Z-PC Fusion
ZFX
Z2 Pro
Z6 quick detailer

Optional products (aren't *necessary* for the system to work, but I highly recommend them):

Z7 car wash
Z8 spray sealant
Z16 tire dressing
