Default Undergoing my 1st Zaino experience today.

I've washed in Dawn, washed again with the car wash, applied Z1 and Z2. Now I'm waiting for it to dry.

More later.<p>ChrisTTopher Lloyd

Might want to consider a few coats of Z5 before Z2.

Default 1st impressions

I'm going to wait 24 hours, as suggested, before Z-6 ing and Z-2 ing again.

Car looks good (it did before) and I have to say removing Z-2 is MUCH EASIER than buffing out wax.

More tomorrow.<p>ChrisTTopher Lloyd

Default Hmm? I don't know -it's only 2 months old...

and the paintwork is immaculate. I understand Z-2 has higher optical qualities than Z-5, which i take to mean it shines better. As I don't have any scratches or swirl marks I stuck with Z-2.<p>ChrisTTopher Lloyd

Default Lloyd, that is just fine. You only need Z-5 if you have swirls/scratches

Default My Zaino experience

I love this stuff! Looks better with each coat. One thing I've noticed: car seems to get dusty faster, and sort of haze's over first time it rains. (Maybe I don't let the zaino dry long enough?) But, after the first regular wash, seems to look even better than before.
Maybe it's a Raven Black thing.

Default Long term effect of these chemicals on paint ?

Has anyone worried about the long term effect of these chemicals on the paint ?

Shouldn't these products be approved by Audi some how ?

I just ordered wax from my audi dealer yesterday.

Maybe I'm just too worried.

But surely no one would put any kind of oil in their engines either.<p>Hugues

Default LarryTT is right, of course, I used Z5 because I stupidly used...

some "cotton" towels that weren't cotton. And the Z5 DOES take out the swirls; amazing stuff.

Default A fabric travesty....shame on you. ;-) And a big tip, don't use dryer sheets when

drying the 100% cotton towels that you use on TT. Leaves some sort of deposit on the towel that screws up any product you are trying to apply.<p>
