Zaino my car for the first time today...

I have had this Zaino kit for a couple of years. I bought it for my Acura MDX, but I never liked that car so I never got around to it. So I thought I would try it out since I am sure I probably paid quite a bit for it.

I did the claybar and even though it was time consuming, I think it was worth it.

I went to mix the ZFX but it was all dried out so I had to wait between coats. My kit came with Z2 and Z5 so I put a coat of Z5 then sprayed it down with Z6 and then a coat of Z2 and then Z6 again.

The shine is nice, but probably not as deep as it could be if my car color was darker. But it still looks really nice on the Platinum Blue.

The nice thing is that being in New Mexico it is super dry right now so the drying time was really quick.

I can't stop touching the paint it is so glossy...I love it.

How often should I be adding more coats?
