Talking First Time Zaino

I spent around 6 hours between yesterday and today detailing my Camaro with Zaino.
I was given their total protection show car kit as a gift. I always used regular wax before, but after washing with Dawn, Claybar, washing with Z-7 carwash, 2 coats of Z-5 and 2 more of Z-2 and spraying it down between coats with Z-6, I gotta say its unbelievable how well it shines.
Lots of work, but it is totally worth the pay off!

Hush non-believer. It would fry your eyes if it was in the direct sun.

Nice. Just finished hitting mine. It gets easier to make look good with time.

I'm just wondering for us greybeards if there's a compatibility issue between old formula and new. I still have a good amount of old Z2 and Z5 from back with my 1997 Trans Am (sold around 2005). When I use the old stuff with old stuff, it looks good. However if I follow up with new Z2 Pro, I actually see almost "streaks." It still looks great, but I didn't have this issue 4-5 years ago. I'd also hate to throw away $200 worth of old polish.

There's always naysayers, but I promise you this, people will chase you down to ask what polish you have with Zaino. I bought my 97 TA in '98 with tons of swirls and within a year of doing Zaino religiously they were gone....until David J Phillips in Laguna Nigel area scratched the hell out of my front clip doing a intake gasket replacement and then buffed through my front clip's clearcoat... I stopped showing the car at Pontiac Car shows after that happened, but again, still had tons of people chase me down. "Dude, it looks like wet glass."

I used Zaino for the first time yesterday (Z-2) and the stuff is amazing.
I cant believe the depth it gives to the paint, the finish is silky smooth.
I did two coats and will be following up with a third later in the week.

Nice! I too use Zaino for my paint. It's awesome stuff. The depth, gloss and shine are second to none. Love it. Good job.
