Zaino question

Hello,
Used some of my Zaino items this weekend. Due to a change in schedule, I was only able to apply 1 coat of Z-2 (with ZFX) and a quick application of Z-8. Really applies easily!

In the coming weeks, can I add coats of Z-2/Z-8 or should I just use z-8 after each wash? I will be washing with the Zaino wash (Z-7?).

I really liked the tire shine. Looks good and it didn't fling residual all over my freshly detailed car (2005 E-500, Brilliant Silver)! I agree about the other comments on the leather cleaner. Great stuff. My seats feel and look better.

Z2

You can continue to add coats of Z2, I typically use Z8 after each wash, you will continue to be pleased with the results as you add additional coats to your car.

I normally start off with 2-3 coats of Z2, and then apply a coat every 4-6 weeks or so. I've haven't tried Z8 yet, but I use Z6 before and after the Z2, and then to touch up between washes as needed.

Use Z-8 only if you have a dark color car otherwise the price difference is not worth it, fyi, on a black car Z-8 makes quite of bit of difference when you look at it but not enough for a camera to pickup.
