Zaino is a workout

Good God. I've never Zaino'd a car before. I started at like 9:30AM this morning (It's 3:18PM now) and have been pretty much going at it non-stop all day and I'm STILL not done!

Washed it twice with dawn (wanted to make sure I got all the wax off).

Clay barred it.

Washing it again with Zaino wash and dried it.

Put the Z5 on it, let it dry, wiped that off

Misted it with the Zaino gloss spray. wiped that off.

Just got thru putting on Z2, waiting in it to dry.

I "might" be done by dark.

It looked like a mirror after the Z5, bet it's going to look awesome soon as I go
buff off the Z2, but damn, this is a job for youngsters.

looks like you didn't ZFX to speed up the curing process?

I'm planning on ditching my products and getting Zaino, too. Make sure you take pics! The hours of sweat are worth it!

I use Zaino myself and really like their products. The last few times that I applied my Z2 and Z5 I used my Porter Cable that I bought over the summer. Using the PC is so much easier and I find it gives you much better results as well. IMO, it's definitely a worthy investment.

Make sure and use the ZFX if you are going to put more than one coat on in 24 hours. Otherwise the previous coat won't cure before you do the next and it's a pain.

Use a PC and it will cut down the amount of time in a big way.

Zaino is the one product I didn't like to use with my PC. I found you waste much too much polish, and Zaino is very easy to apply and buff off.
If I was using a product to remove swirls , etc, is where I use my PC. I also use it when detailing my boat and black truck with other products that require more elbow juice.
