Question Is Zaino ZFX available??

As of a few weeks ago Sal Zaino said it was not yet available. I'd love to try it and not wait as long for drying time.

I just found it on Zaino website

It is $19.95 for less than 1/2 teaspoon (2ml). I guess you must add just a few drops to your Z-2,-3, or -5.

I placed an order for some ZFX last week. Should have it soon !!! Will post impressions / results. I initially will use it on my fathers car. He's been pestering me for about 6 months to Zaino one of his cars. Sounds like a good guinea pig to me !!!

yes, its available as you've already found out. i got confused reading the directions... i'm easily confused but that's another topic.

the other thing it says is that it obviates the use of Z1.

Will do ! I'm very curious to see how the ZFX additive will do. Hopefully it will work well. This will make putting 3 coats of Zaino on in a day very quick and painless. Good for when I re-clay and start building the coats up again from scratch.

Tired it last week and I can safely say that you won't be disappointed. Dries really fast as advertised.

4-5 drops

The instruction says 4-5 drops for each ounce. I used 5 drops for 1 OZ. My coats must be really thin, because that 1 OZ got me 3 coats. It's pretty awesome. I might repeat the process again later today.
