Hey, Zaino really works!
I finally got around to washing the car. That Zaino stuff really lives up to the hype, but man, it took forever!
My car isn't black, btw.

Now gently run the back of your hand down a portion of the paint. It feels like it's coated with Teflon. It's amazing how slick Zaino is.
Get your self a clear bra while that thing doesn't have any stone chips in it. I kick myself regularly for not doing mine.

Man, it took a lot of work, mostly because this was the first time I used the system. The next time should be a lot faster and easier.
1) Used liquid solution Dawn to strip everything off of it. Toweled dry.
2) Went over it with Z-18 ClayBar with a Z-7 solution.
3) Washed it using Z-7™ Show Car Wash. Toweled dry.
4) Waxed it with Z-2 Pro Polish and let it dry overnight (mostly because I was dead tired.)
5) Removed wax with cotton towel and applied Z-6™ Ultra Clean Gloss Enhancer Spray.
6) Remembered I had the ZFX additive and used with the Z-2 Pro for a 2nd coat.
7) Finished it off with more Z-6.
8) Washed the wheels and applied Z-16™ Perfect Tire Gloss.
I still have some of the ZFX mixture left, so I'm debating whether or not I should wax the rims.

Man you should have rocked out with the Z-5, too. Unless, of course, your car has absolutely NO swirls on it, which is unlikely even since it's brand new. 4 or 5 coats of that and literally every single small scratch and swirl is gone. Just a thought....
