There's too many Z#. More than really seem necessary... Z2 and Z5 look like the only thing I'd consider getting.

Its just the initial spring cleaning that takes a minute, as I'm sure it would with any car wash process. That is if you want it done right. Shoot, gimme another 30 mins, and I can have 2 coats on in no time.

Either you guys are too lazy, or too intimidated by the detailed instructions. I admit to being intimidated at first, but sheeit, its fuckin worth it.

With ZFX the curing time is damn quick. I can put on and take off a coat of Z in less than an hour.

It's funny, Sal is the only guy I know that tells the truth. All the other manufacturers leave out critical steps, making it seem that their wax/polish dries instantly. Whatever.

Believe me, with a small child, I'm all for quick and easy. I have yet to find a product that goes on and comes off this easy.

To start:
Z18 Clay Bar
ZFX
Z2 Polish
Z5 Polish/Swirl Remover
Z6 Spray Gloss Enhancer

I think they sell a kit on the website for like $90 that has everything you need!

WOW….. I’m a little behind and just reading this thread for the first time.
There’s a LOT of misinformation here about Zaino.
I guess that’s why a lot of people speak badly of it because they don’t understand.

Ever since ZFX came, out the days of waiting HOURS for it to dry are gone..gone…gone.
I can do THREE COATS on the car in about 2-Hours if I’m not interrupted.

Pardon my French, but Zaino is THE-SHIT and there’s nothing better or easier to use.
It’s a little difficult for the newbie’s, but once you’re a seasoned pro it’s easy.
