Question How many coats of Zaino do YOU have on your car?

I just picked up my neww 02 Monte Carlo SS (White) on Saturday... over the weekend, I managed to get 3 coats of Z2 on it after a claying session, and the Z1...

I'd like to layer up as much as I can...

Got me to wondering how many coats of Zaino all you guys have on your cars?!

Darth, do you have pictures of this car yet? This is the second time I've heard about it (lounge, too) and I want to see it. My Dad has a black 2001 SS and it's a beauty, but I just can't get comforatble in that seat. Surprisingly quick car, though.

Oh and I would guess I have 10 coats of Zaino, I'm really not sure....?

Hey congrats on the new car!! I hope I'll get to join the "new car club" in the not so distant future. I want that new car smell too!

Anyhow, to answer your question, I have somewhere between 50 to 60 coats currently on my car alone, not to mention the other cars that I use it on. Keep in mind though, that this is not an all at once thing, but rather built up over a multi-year period. I generally like to space the coats out between applications as I feel this works best for me, but other times I have a Zaino blitz and layer as many as I can! I'm still trying to decide if I wanna keep the car or use it as a trade. After all the hard work, blood, sweat, and tears I've poured into this thing over the years, it would be hard letting go. I still get compliments everywhere I go from people saying that my car is beautiful for its age and they see none on the road in the shape mine is in, which is basically true around here. I've even had offers to buy it or asking if I'll sell it anytime soon! Hmm, maybe I should sell it for a pretty penny, heheh. It would make a good down payment... Anyway, I have to credit Zaino mostly for the perfect exterior though. Nothing out there can keep a daily driver looking like a show car better than Zaino!!! Even with my car completely filthy, it looks like a million bucks. Can't say that about any of the dozens of other products that I've used.

Enjoy the new car! Better yet, enjoy Zainoing it!!

I've actually lost count, but if I had to guess, since March 15th (when I took delivery) I think it's somewhere around 10-15 coats. In fact, I just put 2 coats of ZFX-enabled Z-2 on this weekend!
