If you're not willing to read the two or three pages of insturctions on Zaino, you're probably not interested in using it (or using it correctly). Why would you say that you know where the information is, but feel someone else should take their time to distill it down for you? I am serious about this. If you don't have the time to read the instructions, just send the Zaino back and go buy some Turtle Wax Spray On Wax or something...

Zaino will not perform well on an un-prepped finish. To get zaino looking its best, the car must have a good finish to begin with. To do that I recommend washing very well and at least claying the vehicle (unless brand new with shrink wrap still on). If it is a dark colored car I would also polish with an abrasive compound before applying the zaino. Please read the zaino instructions as they are complete and that is the only way you will achieve the intended results... skipping steps will result in poor bonding or smearing.

It's easy! I was like you at first. Then just read the instructions and it was easy.
