I hear a lot of talk about zaino, it sounds like this is by far the best. What type of zaino would I use for my new CLs, there are many different types....Z2?

 

Yep it's some sweet ish. You can find all the info you need here:

do I need to really apply Z1 first?

 

I'd recommend it. I used everything in Chod's FAQ for the first time last weekend... z18, z7, z1, z2, z6

 

no, get the zfx

 

I sware this zaino shit is more complicated then putting a man on the moon. Is there some other (high quality) polish I can use that doesn't require 57 steps to follow.

 

buy z2, and zfx. mix together, apply, and take off. simple.

 

NO! Now order the Zaino and quit bitchin It's really not that hard once you get into it. Plus I haven't seen any products that give you the same shine as Zaino. You won't regret it, shit is amazing!

 

it just "looks" complicated.

many of the steps are the same as if you were going to start any system of serious car care.

i have a user guide that is a little more "new guy" friendly than the site . . . if you email me, ill send it to you . . . .

but after the original cleansing - - it becomes as simple as:

wash car
dry car
apply polish
remove polish
admire

you can do more - like the gloss/detail spray, tire gloss, etc etc . .
but it isnt required to receive the results . . . they just make it better . ..

 

I agree wholeheartedly with homer2. Any wax/polish/protection application is as labor intensive as Zaino. The nice thing about Zaino is that you don't have to do it every two weeks to keep it looking good like some waxes.

A couple of other good polymer systems are Blackfire and Klasse.
