I did, for the first time, in January. The car has looked great even in this tough weather. Noticed in the rain yesterday that the beading is still great. So today I washed it and applied another coat of Z-2. The result was very good, altho I am sorry to see the new car begin to leave my car, a lil scratch here and there, some dirt accumulating on the hinges, etc.. snif..<p><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/akracttq.jpg" border="0">

Sal said just wash it with his wash (z-7 Duke thinks?), dry...then Z1 and Z5 or Z2.

I wash and Z-5 or Z-2 every week and finish with Z-6.

The Z-1 is applied 1 or 2 times each year. I will be doing that again within the next couple of weeks.<p><a href="http://registry.audiworld.com/audi/registry/details.asp?car=3285"><img SRC="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/ttsig.jpg" BORDER=0 alt="Click for Mods"></a>

Maybe Sal can post and help us all out here. I was wondering the same thing about when to reapply the Z1. Unless I am missing something, it seems as though you would need to wash the car again with dawn in order to get back to the surface to reapply the Z1, otherwise you are just applying the Z1 over old coats of partially worn Z5 or Z2. Using the Z7? car wash wouldn't get you back to the surface or maybe there is something in it that helps the process....<p>2000 180Q Denim blue/Ebony

it is not necessary to use Dawn again, just his--or any high quality wash. Sorry, Duke forgot his reasoning, but he's almost always around so give him a call at the number at his site:

is to strip off old waxes that will then allow you to begin using Zaino products.

The Z-1 is just a heavy duty polish and protectant. As Duke said, just wash the car and apply the Z-1, then follow with Z-2 or Z-5. Finish with Z-6.

Remember, Zaino is a cumulative process. You are building layers of polish. With each successive layer the appearance keeps improving. The Z-1 just helps in this process by using it 1 or 2 times each year.<p><a href="http://registry.audiworld.com/audi/registry/details.asp?car=3285"><img SRC="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/ttsig.jpg" BORDER=0 alt="Click for Mods"></a>
