I just started my Zaino thing last month 2 coats. Now somebody backed into my car and busted my drivers mirror off and smudged the paint on my door. I am wanting to add another 2 coats this weekend, should I just start over on my door(dawn,clay,4 coats) or should I just do my door(w/2coats) this weekend then the whole car next weekend so the enitre car will have 4.


Does that make sense

I lost count too, but i know it isn't as high as 20. Probably more like 8 or 10.

You guys got too much time on your hands. You should spend more time "without" your car.

Check my sig...15 coats?

But the last few I did were Z5...doesn't help a lot on my swirls on my trunk and spoiler. Pisses me off! :angry:

Mine doesn't bling as much as I want...but looks okay. Anthracite doesn't reflect as well as black. Wish I still had my black GSR though!

I don't think I have enough time to shine up my car. I've got 15 coats over the coarse of 1 year....need the protection from the sun here in Phoenix. I find it hard to find time to even wash my car nowadays!

Question...is it possible to put too thin of a coat of Zaino on?

It’s no big deal really.
I can do THREE coats of ZAINO w/ZFX accelerator in about 2-Hours.

Only the very first time you apply ZAINO to the car is it time consuming.
After that it’s EASIER then any other wax or polish I’ve ever used.

Might be a dumb question: but how do you guys apply more Zaino after it rains or the car is just dusty/pollen covered? Do you just rinse and apply more Z-2? or go pre-wash, Z1, then Z-2 and Z-5? any recomendations?

With ZFX you NEVER need Z-1.
I just wash w/ Z-7 and then apply a coat of either Z-2 or Z-5 mixed w/ZFX.
Never apply polish on a dirty car. :shakehd: :shakehd:
