With both, use a few drops of Zaino ZFX to make each coat cure faster before applying the next coat:

Between coats, I spray a thin layer of Zaino Z8 after a wash. That gives it an extra layer between washes and Z8 really makes the shine come out:

For my interior: I use Zaino Z9 leather-soft cleaner and Zaino Z10 leather-in-a-bottle conditioner. Countless people have commented my car "smells like a new car" when it's really the Zaino conditioner they're smelling. I drive with my windows down a lot, so the new car smell didn't last that long. The Zaino conditioner leaves a slight smell as close to the actual new car smell as I've experienced.

Also, I have lemon leather, and Z9/Z10 keeps it looking brand new.

Z10:

Mark - do you buy these products locally here in Hawaii? If so please let me know where. Also who do you auto cross with?

Thanks

Been using Zaino products for years (Z2 and ZFX) with great results. Easy to use, too. Leaves the finish clear and reflective, even feels smooth to the touch.

Check out http://www.pakshak.com/. They're a local distributor of Zaino products since we can't buy direct from Zaino.

MarkR171 · 12-18-2010, 08:35 PM

Yup, I get my Zaino from pakshak.

MarkR171 · 12-18-2010, 08:45 PM

I put 3 coats of Z2/ZFX this past weekend, couple pics from autocross the next day:

The shine was awesome!

Nice, very nice

It's been raining for the past 3 days 24/7 because of a passing storm. I haven't washed my car since Friday the 10th. On the 12th was an autocross event in a windy & dusty parking lot (in pics above). This is how my paint looks as soon as the rain cleared without wiping or anything.

Zaino FTW.

HISI808 · 12-21-2010, 10:05 PM

I think I spotted you coming out of HK shopping center area this afternoon. Car looks good considering all the rain we're having.

MarkR171 · 12-21-2010, 10:27 PM

Yup, I was there earlier

Was driving all day yesterday too, the rain sucked. 4 lanes to 1 on Nimitz... twice... was horrible.

MarkR171 · 12-24-2010, 04:23 PM

Zaino should pay me

I Love Zaino! Have been using for over a year and will never use anything else again. Remember to use less rather than more.
