PLEASE if youre not sure about what youre saying... dont post the wrong info..

Good man!!

I've been lookin for months now, for the same reason. Wanna keep them miles low. Although I work alot from home,and carpool alot. But the carpooling will come to an end soon. In 18 months of ownership I've only got 11,000 miles on the 8.


OK, sorry for the jack! Back on topic!

I just did 7 coats of Zaino in 2 weeks, i have a white car, to tell the truth, I am a bit unsatisfied...... I understand how Zaino shines great on black cars, but maybe its because I park my car outside under a tree. How do I get more shine and "wetness" outta a white car, It only looks wet at night.

Also one question, how much Z5 do you use when you wanna put on 3 coats in a day, maybe I am kinda cheap I am only using 1/2 ounce or even less for 3 coats. And instead of the applicator pad, can I use something else?

Okay, I feel like a cheapass after reading JEdi's zaino thread!!! 2 ounce for 2 coats, and i use 1/2 ounce for 3 coats!!!!! mannnn... i was donating free zaino to my friend's BMW X3, which is huge, didnt feel like mixing so much ZFX and Z2,Z5... okay i guess I'll change from now on and go all out. 2 ounce 2 coats, i gotcha!

Zaino won't give you the wetness you're looking for, especially on a white car.
