Next Generation Zaino Z2 and Z5 are here!

Well The boys at Zaino reworked their Z2 and Z5 formula, and if u never used Zaino now is the time to get it. It is much slicker and glossier than before, AND it no longer is as thick as it used to be. It no longer sticks to the side of the ZFX bottle, flip the bottle over and it literally drains to the cap within 30 seconds, leaving no zaino stuck to the sides of the bottle. I really like the product! much much better than before!

I DONT FREAK'IN BELIEVE THIS!!!!

The 2 things i put on my car over the weekend are the 2 that were improved!

Ali, does the Z5 now fill in swirls better than the older one?

And will it be ok to add any of those new versions ontop of what i just did?

Last, if I order the Z2 from the Zaino site, will it be the new version? because it does not look any different or updated so far.

Thanks

yes Z5 swirl filling, gloss, and especially slickness has improved greatly! Z2 also has minor swirl filling ability now too (as good as the old Z5). Zainostore.com is selling the new products starting today. Z5 is now in a white bottle with a black label, instead of a black bottle like before. Also the color of the actual products have changed too. Dont worry, u can use the new stuff over the old stuff just fine. Better yet, u can call sal and tell him u want to buy the new zaino, tell him I (ali) told you about it.

Digital, I'd always end with a coat of Z2.

Hmmm, I'm about due for a restock of Z2 and Z5 but it will probably take 4-5 months before the improved version becomes available here....bummer!

it really doesnt matter, if you feel you want the paint to look better, then just add more, if it is losing some of the look, then thats the best time, and i would clay annually

Just a warning... some detailing people prefer S100 over Zaino because S100 looks wetter while Zaino can look a bit plasticky. But only detailing freaks can tell probably.
