Ok.....go to zainobros.com and read.....all the info you need.....

Here are some basics....

Buy a viking 100% cotton washmitt, and 100% made in usa towels for drying and waxing. Cotton wont swirl up your paint.

Wash the car with dawn the first time, and clay teh car. Zaino makes great clay, so dose mothers, and clay magic. I use car wash as lube.....clean the car, soap up a panel, clay it using light pressure, and rinse....you could also use spray detailer as lube,.,...but I like car wash...

As for zaino..for a black car I would get Z1, Z5, Z2, Z6, and Z7. Z1 the first time..then apply Z5 right on top of it....USE THIN COATS....VERY THIN...HARDLY ANY....should get more than 10 coats per bottle. Let dry 1-2 hours in the sun, and bufff off. One coat is good....but you can do as many as you want. I like layer about 2-3 coats on...do one a day...one a week....doesnt matter...and then just wash weekly and spray detail. Slickness and gloss do not drop wash after wash...its awesome. Always finish up with Z2 and use Z6 after each wash and in between polish coats for a 3D effect. Z7 wash rocks! Hope this helps.....

Took the words right out of my mouth. Couldn't say it better myself, if I weren't Mr. Zaino himself. :-)

Just make sure those are 100% cotton MADE IN THE USA towels....good lord....that is very important....plus "The Absorber" works pure miracles at water removal.

REVV ON!!!
