Post Zaino ?

I am ready to expierence zaino, I have looked at all the websights but am still not sure what products to buy. Let me know what you guys have. I do not want to go to overboard. From what it sounds like the stuff is pretty exepensive. How much did it cost you. THe car is white and the paint is in good shape it is a 96 but less than 30 k on the car. all input is appreciated

What I would start with is the Z-2 polish, the Z-6 enhancer spray, the Z-7 wash, the Z-18 clay bars and the ZFX additive. This is the best way to get started. Then try out other products as you want. I use all of them and keep extra supplies on hand all the time.

If you want to go cheap then go with the Z-1, Z-2(since you said you paint is in good condition) and the Z-6. You don't need the Z-6 but trust me this is the best gloss enhancer spray that I have ever used. Way better then Meguiers! And Zaino lasts for a LONG time. My brother and I both use it on our cars and we aren't even through half of the bottles.

Using a clay bar on a white car as old as yours would be the best thing you can do for the paint unless you are a clay bar user now.

Miles,Ive been using Zaino for about 8 or 9 coats. This stuff is the easiest and cheapest Ive ever used. I bet I use only a capfull Z5 on every coat and devide that by 15 or 16 caps in a bottle that is cheap and you wont believe how easy it is to use.No rubbing or buffing. it spreads on very easy and comes of even easier.Keep us posted on how it works on white.My Quasar Blue is very shiney and deep.....Mark

If you have a leather interior, try the Z-10. Out of the Zaino products, I think the Z10 LEather stuff is the best of the bunch -- and they're all good!

Question

I just bought a 98 Z28 with 85,000 mostly highway miles. It has a lot of bugs on the front and they are really hard to get off. I was told that it was buffed but why didnt that take the bugs off. What will get these old baked on bugs off?

Clay bar unless the bugs have etched the paint.
