I just spent the past three evening using the Zaino products with great results. Did you add more than 10 drops of the Fx catalyst per 2 oz. of 2 or 5? You did something wrong. |
I emailed them last night and they answered 8:00am this morning. They either have really good response times or not too many clients. :rolleyes:
They said for my car to buy Zaino Bros' Total Protection Show Car Kit. Code# ZKIT-1 + Z-AIO. I am going to order this today. They also included several pages of instructions. The photos look awsome and everyone says it is great but it seems like so much to read. Someone should make a drive through car wash that applies all this stuff where you just rop in your 50 cents and drive through. Quote:

^Cartagena how much are they charging you for shipping?
p.s. Who ever mentioned washing with Dawn, I would suggest against doing this. Its not so pad for the paint but really not good for your weather stripping and moldings, bad for your rotors and brakes too. Use a proper bodywork shampoo like P21s http://www.autogeek.net/p2paincleanl.html |
I applied a much thinner coat of Z-5 last night without the ZFX. I let it sit overnight and this morning buffed it out and followed with Z-8. It looks very good now. Has anyone tried their Z-CS clearseal?
Dawn is recommended just for that initial wash to take off the old wax. It mentions it on the Zaino website. |

I do not like the Z6 or Z8 detail spray. I like the #425 product that PerfectLab recommends better. Just an FYI. |
so Z5 and 425 work well together? Zaino's stuff is real picky about what you can apply over it.
*FYI 425 is more of s teflon coating for a freshly waxed or just washed car. It will make your wax choice last longer and keep the car cleaner but you still have to wax the car first. Works well on glass, dash, wheels, paint. |
Nice thread. I am gettting ready to take a porter cable to my boxster. I've practiced on the Honda & BMW, so, nothing left but the box...
The boxster is in great shape. No dings, no real scratches, etc. But if you are really, really picky I can see some microscratching in the metallic black paint. This is especially visible in direct sunlight. This is what I want to take out. So -- should I use the Menzerna IP with a Yellow Pad on the buffer? Or can something more mild like a Z-PC with a white pad do the job? I always heard the advise to start with the least abrasive & work up. I don't really consider the Menzerna to be that abrasive. I've thought about doing both - start with the Menzerna, then go back over the car with the ZPC. Either way, I'll clay first, then do a few coats of Zaino Z5, then Zaino Z2 to finish. I'd be curious if anyone with a 5 year old black boxster has had any first hand experience? Either way, I'll share the before/after pictures & my methods. |

Yes, Basalt Black too. Thanks for the warning on the rust. I'll keep that in mind. You might have just convinced me to use the ZPC with a white pad on the buffer. That is a very mild combination for both the polish and the pad (finishing polish). It wasn't sure it was going to be enough, but sounds like you saw improvement without even using a polish. I'll post some before/after pics. |
.... dampen the pad prior to application...seems to help. If you can see the product on the paint you've used too much. One oz. (the bottles are 2 oz. I think) will cover the Boxster twice.
