Zaino newbie
well, ive been using small brand name/no name brand crap from autozone, etc... well ive been on the board for a couple of months now, and never real been in this section, but i have looked now and again... well i just saw a pic of someone '96 red camaro that uses zaino, all i can say is "WOW!" 
its crazy, paint looks new! well im basicly starting from scratch...
what is everything i need, ive heard the z-5 is best for dark colors (i have a black '98) would you recomend an electric buffer? or is by hand best?
and clay, from what i can tell, its basicaly just cleans the surface real good eh? if not, plz explain, hehe, i performed a search and everything, just couldnt see anything for the specific questions...
thx a mil

Zaino is all done by hand, it contains no abrasives so it needs no buffer to work it into the paint. Most would get:
Z-1 or ZFX but not both
Z-5 Show Car Polish for dark colors/swirls
Z-6 Gloss Enhancer
Z-7 Show Car Wash
Z-18 Clay Bar
The above is a complete package for the paint.
"and clay, from what i can tell, its basicaly just cleans the surface real good eh?"
Correct, removes any bad stuff from the paint that should not be there.

I use a combination of Z2/Z5, along with everything else Kevin mentioned, on my red '99 and as you can see from the pic in my sig, it definitely looks new. It's 4 years old now, but you can't tell by looking at it.

Zaino is not sold in any stores, either thru the home office www.zainobros.com or thru distributors.
