Zaino on new paint?

What do I need to zaino my Z. I was looking at the products and to me it looks like all I will need is the Z-2. My car is freshly painted and doesnt have any swirls or scratches or anything so I am looking for input on this. How many coats should I put on also? Thanks.

I'd get the car wash, ZFX, Z2, and a clay bar. I think most people say you should wait 7 to 10 days before applying Zaino.

I just had my car painted witha custom blue pearl. The painter said I should wait atleast a month to allow the paint to harden and expell all its chemicals before I Zaino it.

At the basic you need either ZFX or Z-1 and Z-2. This is the minimum for use on your paint. Added bonus would be Z-6 Detailer Spray, Z-7 Show Car Wash, and Z-18 Clay Bar, I would only use the clay bar if you have over spray on a new paint. You should inspect every inch of your car's surface with your hand to feel for over spray, the last thing you want to do is polish over overspray.

You also need good applicator pads and really good towels. Not just bath room towel or T shirts.

I recommend highly the DF towels which I am a distributor for as well as Zaino. DF is micro fiber and extremely soft, see www.dftowel.com for details. You will also want to get a soft fluffy wash mit made of deep pile cotton, do not use a polyester wash mit or sponges to wash with.

I'd get the entire Zaino Starter Kit.
