Newbie for Zaino

I just bought the Pro kit from Zaino and there are many bottles but I don't see any wax. Does this mean I don't have to wax after using Zaino??
Someone help??

There are no wax bottles because Zaino is not a wax. It's a polymer coating as opposed to a carnauba wax. The Z2 and Z5 bottles in your kit are the coatings. Be sure to add the ZFX to them before use to accelerate the cure time. Once you get your first 3 coats on, apply Z6 after washes in between Z2 and Z5 applications. Check out the web site if you don't have instructions and post for specific questions. Hope that helps. Good Luck!

You should first wash in Dawn dishwashing detergent to get off all the old wax. Might need to start with the claybar. Go to the website and print off the instructions, it will answer most you questions.

I am not sure if those are waterspots now because the circles went away after awhile but the residual is so hard to buff off. It doesn't dry very soon even after using ZFX.

What do you mean when u added the ZFX?

ZFX should be added to the polish like Z2, or you would use z1 on the car first and leave it on then use the Z2 over that.

Even if your car was straight from the showrrom I would still at least wash, clay, then add Zaino Z2 and use Z6 after every layer you add.

Other than this check out the Zaino website, they have detailed instructions there.

Renesis- I got another problem, as soon as I wipe the Z5 on, I can start to see waterspots on my hood, what should I do???
I would suggest investing in a claybar, Z18 if you go with Zaino's claybar if not ClayMagic works great.
I've been using Zaino for a while and personally don't like the ZFX. It makes it harder to wipe off and never gave me any additional benefits. If you use the ZFX don't mix it into the bottle of Z2 or Z5 use the small bottles that come with the ZFX. Here's a pic from my Zaino applications earlier today.
