i just got some questions about Zaino. I live in an area where HOA restricts you from washing your car. I ususally go to a car wash. I was thinking about buying Zaino but it says to use Z7 only when washing. Its not possible for me unless i go to my in-laws house 15 miles away. Comments or suggestions are appreciated

 

Z7 is the liquid soap wash, which you can use at the local wash I would think? Z2 Pro is the polish your looking for. Make sure you order ZFX as well, which is the activator for Z2 and will cut down the drying time. They also suggest Z6, which is the quick detailer, but I'm not a fan of it. Any QD will work fine.

 

When using Zaino sealants (Z5 or Z2), I prefer to use the Z7 wash. Otherwise, I use Meguiar's Gold Class or NXT shampoos with no problems. For instance: I'll wash with Z7, apply and remove Z5 or Z2, wait a week, wash with Z7 and do another layer of Z. After I'm done with that cycle, I'll usually just use Meg's washes for the weekly wash (or the stuff below).

If water restrictions come into play. You can look into QEW (Quick and Easy Wash). It's a "hoseless" wash solution. Allows you to wash your car with a gallon or two of water and a small amount of this solution. If the car is really dirty, I usually resort to a traditional wash with hose and bucket. Some people will use this stuff regularly, while others won't even think about it. It took me a year to break down and order it.
