i bought the ultimate protection kit.

1)do i need to dry the car after i wash the car with dawn (before claybarring)

2)is the one bottle of the 2 ounce thing will be enough for one coat on the car?

3)any better suggestions on how to use the leather stuff?

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

You shouldnt worry about drying it. After you clay bar it then you will want to make sure its very clean before you start applying the Z-1. After that, then apply the Z-2 and Z-5... with just a few drops of ZFX (little blue bottle) mixed into your Z-2 or Z-5. I beleive it is 8-10 drops per 2 ounce bottle of Z-2 or Z-5. You should have recieved very thorough instructions with the kit. One more thing, jsut remember that when you are putting it on the car (Z-2 or Z-5) its not like a wax. It goes on very thin and does not take very much to coat the vehicle. I made on 2 ounce bottle and it lasted for 4 coats. Its so thin that its almost hard to see when you put it on. But trust me, it works. When you get done puting on however many coats you can apply in a day, put the excess bottle of Z-2 or Z-5 mixed with the ZFX accelerator into the refrigerator. It will keep it from hardening and you wil be able to user it the next time. Once it sits out at room temp, it will harden up and then you will have to throw the mixing bottle away.
I have to get back to work, but shoot me a pm if you have any more questions. I just put 6 coats on the other day and was shocked at the difference it made. Its truly a great product and you will enjoy the results.

 

Personally i would dry it after you wash it with dawn because of the minerals in water (that is if you have hardwater) Make sure you mix the solution of zaino soap with distilled water for the lube on the claybar. After you claybared make sure you wash the car again because you still have contaminants on the car.
A little goes a long way the 2 oz bottle is alot of coats of zaino. when you apply it on the car it looks thin and hazy. I never used the leather stuff by zaino though. well good luck post some pics of your zainoed out car!

 

i dont think we have hardwater. i live in new orleans, louisiana.

 

1) After washing, I usually rinse and use a dawn wash lube to clay the car. Just mix it up in your bucket and with a mitt, drizzle the solution over the panel and clay.

2) I use about .2 ounce per layer of Zaino. If you are anywhere under 1/2 ounce per layer, you are good. BTW, those bottles are 2 ounces.

3) Clean the leather with Z9 first. Spray on a MF towel, then massage. For Z10, apply a thick, long bead onto an applicator and massage in. I like to do tight circles so the conditioner gets into the grains. After 10 minutes dry time, follow with a clean, dry towel to remove any residue/streaking.
