    Great customer service from Sal Zaino

    I e-mailed Sal this morning about my ZFX being dried up after only about 6 months. I told him it had been stored in a heated garage (never below 50 degrees and never extreme heat either) and stored in the original dropper, tightly sealed, and stored in the 2 ounce plastic bottle, also tightly...

    S&W/Adam's Detail Spray over Zaino?

    I was wondering if anybody had used either of these two products to maintain shine over Z2Pro. I currently use QEW then Z6 when I want to shine up the GTO without having to use a traditional wash. I currently have a lot of Adam's Detail Spray that I LOVE and used over WG before I switched back...

    Frequency of ZFX?

    I know it can be used between every coat, but that seems like overkill. I know you can apply up to 3 layers back to back in a 24 hour period. But how often should you throw some ZFX into the mix? I'm talking time wise. I know Sal recommends no more than 10 coats before adding ZFX to an...

    Washing the CBT

    I always wonder if it's okay to wash my CBT's with my microfiber towels. I know you should wash the MF's separately from other towels, but I just don't see the CBT linting too much onto the MF's. It seems silly to do one load of laundry for just one or two CBT's, as that's all I use (all the...

    How to wash sheepskin mit?

    I just used my Eurow sheepskin wash mit for the first time today, and forgot to read the washing recommendations. What's the best way to wash one of these suckers?

    Confused about ZFX

    I'm going to start my Zaino process in a few days and I have been running it over in my head. I have not used the ZFX before so I'm a little confused on how often I have to use this stuff. After the prep, I'm going to apply a few coats of Z5 with ZFX. I'll start with an ounce (half the...

    Can I use the same pad for polishing with two polishes?

    I am going to be polishing via PC with SSR2.5 and SSR1 in about a week. I only have two polishing pads right now, and one of them is pretty well caked with AIO. I was wondering if it would be wise to go ahead and use the same white polishing pad for the 2.5 and then turn around and use the...

    I just ordered more products

    When does this madness end?! I just HAD to try Adam's Detail Spray... and while I'm at it, why not some of his VRT and Carpet Cleaner? :o

    IS 303 good for exterior trim?

    Around the windows, base of the windshield, under the hood, etc? I am looking for something to use on these surfaces that won't leave them greasy looking, but that will leave a nice, black, matte finish and protect them. I already have the 303 Aerospace protectant so that's why I'd like to...

    Question about MicroPak MF detergent

    Do I add this in with my liquid detergent in the wash or do I use it by itself? The directions are kind of vague. :o

    What other QD's (besides Z6) work well with Zaino?

    I know the Z6 is obviously the most recommended QD to use with the Zaino line, but sometimes my curiosity gets the best of me and I want to try a new one out just to see. Are there any that don't deteriorate or affect the bonding of the Zaino system besides the Z6? I'm mainly interested in...

    What's the difference between PB QD+ and S&G?

    They're both QD's... Is the QD+ more of a Z8 type QD while the S&G is more "standard issue?"

    What's the most aggressive polish I should use with a PC?

    Right now the most aggressive polish I have is SSR2.5. I do have a cutting pad, but usually try to stick with the polishing pad as most of the cars I do are fairly new and not oxidized. I'm assuming it is okay to use this polish via PC with either a cutting pad or polishing pad, especially if...

    What one thing could you not live without?

    In your detailing regimen? For me, it would have to be QEW. I love being able to wash my car in the winter. I love being able to wash my car without stringing a hose out across the driveway. I love being able to follow it up with a QD (my second essential item) and have it look freshly...

    Just washed my car with Pinnacle car wash...

    Well since I sold my black G35 back in December, I hadn't used this car wash again on my new car until today. I forgot how much I like this car wash! I bought it from CMA upon recommendation for a carwash best suited for a black finish. This was suggested to me and I was completely satisfied...

    Confused about Clearkote products

    I'm having a hard time discerning the difference between a few of their products. Moose Wax... is this just a cleaner/wax? Isn't that what VM is? Vanilla Moose Glaze... is this more abrasive than Moose Wax, and requires a layer of wax on top? Would you use Moose Wax on top or their...

    Confused about AIO before Zaino

    Maybe I'm just putting too much thought into this, but I'm a little confused regarding the prep for my upcoming Zaino project. I currently have 2 coats of Wolfgang Sealant with an AIO base. I am going to strip the Wolfgang off and start over and use Zaino this time. Wash - QEW Clay Wash...

    How does everyone apply tire dressing?

    I use the Zaino (forget the number) tire dressing and have applied it with a carwash sponge for quite some time, but I feel this wastes far too much product as the sponge obviously absorbs a lot of the product. I have some of the EO tire swipe things, but the tires on my cars have far too...

    Switching back to Zaino.... MFs for buffing?

    I'm not trying to start a product war or anything like that, but I have found myself satisfied with my journey through unchartered (by me) waters (Klasse, though I'll still use AIO, Pinnacle, Wolfgang, etc.) and will be returning to using Zaino products exclusively. With the new Z2Pro, Z8, and...

    Question about Zaino prep..

    I have tried NXT, Souveran, Klasse Twins, Wolfgang, and any combination of them to get the perfect shine, but I find myself wanting to come back to Zaino on my GTO, especially with Z2Pro and Z8 out now. I plan on polishing with SSR2.5, then SSR1 to help out with the minor webbing, swirls...
