Default question about zaino bro's products

hey yah, i've only heard amazing things about zaino bro's products. i'm looking to get some for my car. i don't know what to get. i don't need anything to remove swirls or scratches, i have that stuff already. i also have claybar.

i want a mirror shine on my indigo ink pearl. but i also want something that will be protected somewhat.
i have some questions.

i'm looking at either z-2 or z-3, however, they say you need the zfx flash cure stuff if you want to use z-3...do you really need that?

z1 is used after you wash and clay the car, it's like a prep for polish right?
has anyone ever tried the zaino car wash? whats a good car wash to use?
anyone use the detailer spray or recommend one?

Bare minimum you'll need ZFX and Z2.

Do not get Z3 since our car has a clear coat. Also, don't get Z1. It isn't necessary since ZFX is much better and cures the wax much faster. All other products are add ons that help extend the finish further and for an extended period of time. Not necessary, but good to have.

The only add on I recommend is the Z6 detailer spray. Using it in between coats will get you the best shine possible with Zaino.

~Simple steps for a good Zaino job~
-Wash your car with regular car wash (no additives like carnauba or silicone protection) to get out the dirt first.
-Dry, then start claying it to remove the deep contaminates.
-Then wash it again with dawn or some other dishwashing liquid and dry it again. That should get your paint as squeeky clean as possible.
-1.5 ounces of Zaino will give you 3 coats, apply it in very thin layers, let it dry for 30 minutes and wipe it off with a towel. Follow with the detailer spray.

-Repeat two more times, and you'll have a show car finish in 3-4 hours.

Hope that helps!

having a tC is great cause you don't have to wax or polish the roof. the detail spray is a must imo. they recommend you apply it between coats of polish and you can use it whenever you want. go with the zaino brand spray. it's compatible with the polish (im not sure if the other brands are but if you're gonna spend your time on your car, don't skimp on the detail spray)

i have the car wash and it works alrite for me. i know that it won't stripe the coats of zaino i have on the car but if you must get something else, make sure it doesn't have any kind of wax in it.

get zfx for fast drying and curing and Z2 polish for the best shine and the quick detailer. you can use any other brand of clay.

keeping a car spotless everyday is a lot of work! my car gets so dusty from sitting out for one night. do you use something to cover your car or park it in a garage?
