It depends on how much you want to do. For starters, I would get the Clay bar, the Z2, and ZFX. This, along with a bottle of dawn and some good towels should be enough for you to get a good idea how well the products work.

my friend who is zaino addicted has the comments:-

z-7 car wash i use it very other week. it works best to upkeep yr car's wax and prep you car for detailing. Smell good.

Z-5 removes spider webs & scratches. If your car doesn't have any scratches, you don't really need it.

z-2 & ZFX. ZFX is a highly concetrated additive which complements Z-2. Zaino homepage reminds users not to apply it in circular motion, rather in back-and-forth motion. So it's less tiring to your back.

Each layer of Z2 & ZFX, i'll spray Z-6 which is simply a gloss that intensifies the shiny feel.

I only got Z-6 on my 2nd purchase, now that i go for z-8. Because after weeks of raining, with the z-6 there is no water stain at all.

Z-10 i use in conjunction with the BM Leather Cleaner i bought in BM HK.

Z-16 tire gloss, it's not as shiny as other products but the look is more natural PLUS it doesn't go away even after heavy rains.

Zaino also recommends you to get 100% white cotton towel to buff off the wax. actually you need to have several of them.

There you go w/ that Dawn stuff again. He'll also need a good Maaco's after that...

Detailer pros say Dawn will degrade the car finish after a few uses. It is a widely debated issue in many detailer threads/forums.

For the people that don't wax their car and just wash it with it...I would agree.But for those of us that use it to remove existing sealants/waxes I don't see its harm.Sal Zaino recommends it in his preparations - although he doesn't recommend frequent washings with it.

Latest news from my Zaino addicted friend:


New Z5Pro has been released, make sure you friend gets this for you!

**********************************
New - Z5 Pro

Following the launch last year of Z2 Pro, Z8 and ZPC, we are delighted to announce that we have just received our first shipment of the newly launched Z5 Pro.

I'm already a huge fan of the 'old' Z5 - I actually use it more that Z2...but Sal Zaino promises that Z5 Pro delivers increased performance in every area: more shine, more gloss, more depth, more clarity, more reflectivity and improved swirl-hiding properties.
