I just received it and I have a few questions:

1. Wash car with Dawn
2. Z-18 Clay Bar used with 1/2 capful of Z-7 to 12 ounces of water
3. Wash car with Z-7
4. Mix ZFX with Z-2?
5. Apply
6. Spray car with Z-6 and remove.

When do I use the Z-5?
How much Z-7 in step 3?
I guess I use ZFX with Z2 because it says "Show Car Polish"?

Application Methodology
•Wash paint surface with 1.0oz of Zaino Z-7 Car Wash per 2 gallon.
•Mix ZFX™ solution –pour one to two ounces of Z2PRO™ or Z-3™ into a two-ounce mixing bottle. For each ounce of polish, add 4 to 5 drops of ZFX™ (no more than 10 drops for two full ounces), screw the cap back on, and shake vigorously for 60 to 90 seconds
•Apply Z-6 to entire vehicle surface using water-dampened applicator.
•The secret to the application of a polymer product is to apply it thinly (super thin) fill a spray bottle and mist a foam pad for application.
•Apply Z-solution very thinly using absolute minimum pressure on the applicator.
•Spray the vehicle surface very lightly with Z-6 between each ‘layer’.
•Ease of product removal is inversely proportional to the amount used, 0.5 – 1.0 oz should be sufficient for most vehicles. I cannot emphasise ‘apply products very sparingly’ enough
•After sufficient drying time, when the product starts to ‘haze’ do a quick swipe test with your finger. Residues should be slightly damp (not a dry powder) when you buff them. If the residues are still wet, you are using too much water on the applicator or too much product.
•If there are places were the wax is thick and you are having trouble buffing the residue, wash affected panel (s) with a Z-7 wash solution.
•Apply three coats of Z solution spraying the applicator with Z-6.
•Allow a cure period of 48 hours before wiping down the vehicle with Z-8
•Apply one coat of Z solution to entire vehicle before the application of a last step product (LSP)

You can use Z-5 after step 6. You not necessary need to spray z-6 to remove, just a 100% cotton towel will do just fine. I only use z-6 or z-8 after I wash the car to get that just waxed shine back.

I used the product this weekend and it is a process, but the results re pretty good. Now, I am waiting for my wheels to top it off.

Thanks for all your help.

Between steps 5 and 6 you have to remove the Z2. Use a high quality 100% cotton white towel, or microfiber towel.

You only need Z5 if you have swirl marks that you want to hide. Otherwise, just polish with the Z2.

You can use Z6 in between coats for some added gloss, but it's not necessary.

I believe the directions for Z7 are on the bottle. Something like 2-3 cap fulls per gallon.
