This product is 100% practical if you drive your Boxster in fire and like to pour mountains of tar on your car daily......................

I just Zaino'd my car for the second time ( Boxster is now 5 months old ) and I can't believe how amazing this stuff is ! Took about 15 minutes to cover the entire car, let it sit for an hour, and then 15 minutes to remove. My paint looks brand new again ! If you have a black Boxster and you are not using this stuff, pick some up and give it a shot. You will not be disappointed !

BTW bmussatti, went on the Rally today and gave up after about an hour and a half. My fiancé and I were so lost we decided to go home. Should have grabbed the touring instructions instead ( it was our second rally )

Nick, sorry if I missed/forgot it but can you pls describe what products and when/how you used them since you first started with Zaino?

Thx.

z12358, check-out their web site at www.zainobros.com. They will give you great info there. You can also e-mail Sal Zaino, and he will promptly follow-up.

z12358, being that your car is new, you can skip the whole DAWN soap wash and clay bar steps. Unless you have a lot of swirl marks.

You need to buy the Z7 Wash, Z5 Wax (helps to reduce swirl marks) Z2 Wax and the Z6 Spritz. You can also purchase the ZFX Accelerator (if you want to put mutiple coats on in one day).

Do a search for "Zaino" on the Forum, and you will find some good threads for your specific steps.

I wash my car, put a coat of Z2 or Z5 on, park in the garage, and then buff off next day or 2 days later.
