LOL That would be tongue marks, none of those. They stick their heads out the windows and - and if the windows are up, then they on the center console. Which reminds me, I need to put the leather cleaner in the car for that.

Just apply coat after coat of Z2. The more the merrier but as said, don't over do it in one day. Space it out over a few days. good luck and I hope to see it someday! |

So I guess I didn't do enough homework before I got my RJT camaro... Now that I've had my camaro for 2 months is it too late to use Zaino or can I still get the "wow" look even if I apply it now (or more likely Mid August)?

1> Wash with warm water and a NON abrasive grease cutting soap (Dawn dish soap works best) 2> Get a spray bottle and put a few drops of dawn in and fill it with water. Get a clay bar and clay the car down as per the instructions. Do not let the surface dry out and the clay bar stick. Make sure the area you are doing stays wet and soapy. This is what the spray bottle is for. Do a small area (fender) and then rinse. Continue untill you have the whole car done. Make sure the car is ALWAYS wet and make sure you keep massaging the clay bar and have a clean working area. Clay barring is easy once you get the hang of it. DON'T DROP THE CLAY! 3> Wash again with a clean bucket and new warm water and Dawn. When you are done there will be NOTHING on your car. Bare clearcoat. VERY unprotected. Then begin your zaino treatment. 5> Start with Z5. Do the entire car per the directions. 6> Do a wipe down with Z6 per instructions 7> Do a coat of Z2. 8> Do a wipe down with Z6 per instructions 9> repeat 5-8 as necessary untill all fine scratches and swirls are gone. 10> Always finish with a coat of Z2. 11> Do a wipe down with Z6 per instructions 12> Wash the car with Zaino wash (optional) 13> Do a wipe down with Z6 per instructions or the new Z8 (I have never used Z8...yet) For maintenance, Wash with zaino wash and use Z2 and Z6. The Z5 just gets rid of the scratches and swirls. Z2 is the bread and Z6 is the butter! This is what I did to the Mustang when we got it two years ago. Since we just layer on the Z2. The car looks like molten silver and is super slippery! i have no pictures that do it justice! This is the color, this is pre-zaino. This is when we just got it. It really is an amazing system. |

As jrhaus said, you can start Zaino'ing at any time :-) And the more layers you put on the easier it becomes to do your car. The shine is so great it quickly becomes an addicting, relaxing, and rewarding activity. Plus you'll learn every square millimeter of your ride to boot!
Maybe we Zaino-aholics could offer a seminar when we get our new club up and running - we could do one in the fall before some of us put our cars up for the winter and another one in the spring right before driving season starts. Who knows - maybe we could get Sal Zaino to donate some goodies! |

I picked up my RJT yesterday! Let me know what you think of Zaino. I have never tried it. When is the next Jack Maxton show?

I really, really, really like this car. Forgive me if I seem overly zealous on the "doing it right" thing.

Great idea. I used to belong to the Greater Cinci Miata Club and once, maybe twice a year we'd do a "Shadytree Mechanics" day where people would hold their mods and we'd all get together and work on eachothers cars and some would Zaino, others would just chat. It was pretty fun. Something to think about. |

You're not overzealous at all about wanting to take care of diaboli! Merlin isn't even a daily driver and look how much Zaino he's got on him. And after each drive I clean him off with Z-6 detailing spray - talk about spoiled rotten!
You gonna bring diaboli out this Friday to KMart if the kids don't have you running all over the place? Would be great to see you again :-) |

I'm thinking I'll be getting the ZKIT-1 (ZFX, Z2, Z5, Z6, Z7, Z18) and adding Z-8, Z-9, Z-10, Z-Bucket, and finally the Z-BBFT-3 borderfree towels. I just hate going to shows and having heather be all dirty
