How much Zaino should I buy?

My girlfriend and I have two brand new cars. A G and a BMW 330. I am planning to Zaino both of them with the Zaino Total Protection Show Car Kit which cost 84 dollars.

Will one kit be enough for 2 cars? I figured with 2 new cars, I don't need to apply all those coats the website recommends. I really don't wanna buy 2 kits, but if i have to, I will. Please advise..................

Re: How much Zaino should I buy?

it'll be more then enough for a while. it only takes about 1 ounce of Z2, to do an entire car. The trick is to apply in a very and I mean very light coat or you'll have a hard time getting the residue off. If you can see it hazing up as you apply it's too thick.

Re: How much Zaino should I buy?

hehe, none. I used the Zaino line on my new G for about the first five months. I recently ran out of the zaino products and had some mystery spots on my car that I had to remove. I could not wait for Zaino to come by mail so I went with some 3M, Meguirs, and EagleOne products. I was really surprised with the result.

I think the car looks better now than when I was using Zaino products. I also cut my car care costs by about 65%.

That is really weird that you think that NYCXLR8, especially when you compare to the Mequirs vs. Zaino. But everyone is titled to thier opinion, I respect that.

But I really gotta see for myself how good Zaino is, I hope I don't regret it..........

Re: How much Zaino should I buy?

You won't regret it. Check out the picture of my trunk lid. It's tough to tell, but it's all reflection. Anyway, one kit should be enough, but you may want the clay bar as well. I would probably get the other kit that's about 120 or so, which includes leather cleaner/conditioner and the clay bar. Since you are doing it on 2 cars, you will have enough Z2 to last a while, but you will def need more than 1 bottle of the spray. I would say get at least 1 more if not 2. Mail order kinda stinks, so I usually stock up on the stuff I know I will go through this way there is never a wait when I need something.
Don't expect to get both cars done in 1 day. The first detail with Zaino is killer! Very time consuming! After that, it's gravy.

Since Zaino is synthetic, it is actually designed to be layered with multiple coats. After the first detail, each week or 2 after, just wash, dry, Z6 spray it, and give it a quick Z2 coat! After 4 treatments, you will have an unreal finish!
