First time Zaino user

[LS1 TA]

My first ever Zaino products shipped out on the 27th. I ordered the Zaino lok and the Z-2 I believe. Any Zaino tips from experianced users?

you should have got the z6 gloss enhancer spray too.......

so you got z1 and z2...right? what color is your car?

have you ever clayed the car? if not, i would do that first

the "main tip" is dont put it on thick..its a waste of the polish and your money...put it on very very thin.....

No sir, I haven't clayed it before, what does that do? And as for the color of the car, it is white. Is there a substitute I can use for the clay so that I don't have to wait another week for it to arrive? And looks like I will be oredering a clay bar and some z-6 today. Thanks for the tips.

If you don't want to wait for the Zaino clay bar, Mother's has a pretty good bar you can pick up at any auto parts store. Definitely keep the order in for the Zaino clay bar and gloss enhancer, but the Mother's will do fine for now.

Use Z-18 ClayBar™ to help remove the following:

Rail dust - Tiny, sharp bare metal shavings that can adhere and imbed into the paint finish and cause serious damage when left untreated. Over 70% of new vehicles are transported from the factory using the rail system. In many cases, new cars are stored near a railroad and becomes infected with rail dust.


Brake Dust - Similar to rail dust, brake dust is also in the form of tiny, sharp metal shavings. In recent years, asbestos brake pads were replaced with metallic brake pads, which are actually brake pads made from tiny metal or metallic shavings. Anytime a vehicle is braking; brake dust is disbursed into the air and onto the paint finish. Since the brake dust is now actually tiny particles of bare metal, this form of brake dust can seriously damage the paint finish when left untreated.

Industrial Fallout - A general term used for pollution and can be found in many forms. Eventually, pollution settles onto the paint finish of all vehicles and can cause serious damage when left untreated.

Tree Sap, Road Tar, Bug Residue, Paint Overspray, and Acid Rain Deposits -- These contaminants adhere to or imbed into the paint finish. Left untreated, they will cause permanent damage to your car's paint work by staining and weakening the protective properties.
Z-18 ClayBar™ is highly recommended as the ultimate way to clean and prepare your car's finish prior to using the Zaino Show Car Polish system.



i clay my cars twice a year.... it wont remove the zaino...it just pulls the contamiants out of the surface..
z2 is right for white!!!! (poem...LOL)

dont forget to wash it good with blue liquid dawn after claying it... then dont use that for washing anymore....just prior to zainoing. always use a soap made for washing cars..and not one with that "jiffy wax" crud in it...
