Took the Zaino plunge

[pauliekeys]

Well after reading all these post about Zaino since May I have taken the plunge. I bought the Z Kit 1 as well as some Z10 for the leather and last but not least some Z 8. Now what ! I hope to have it by saturday and will begin to apply the treatments. I will start with the wash then clay bar but from there I'm a little lost. Must I use dawn for soap or will my Zymol soap do the trick at creating a clean slate for the Zaino treatments? A little help would be very kind. "Boo" is pepper white with a black top. The black is driving me crazy with fine scratches that arn't finger nail deep but have been hard to get rid of. I'm sure the kit will come with instructions but your personal thought's would be very helpful.

My recommendation would be use the blue Dawn, follow the instructions, and you can't go wrong. Most times that people have problems with Zaino they don't follow the directions, introduce other (non-compatible) products into the mix, or try to take short cuts. When used properly, as a system, it works great.

Hartz is right. For more info, read the "Detailed Detailing Process" thread that is stickied to the top of this forum. It's well worth the time it takes to read, trust me.

I really feel your pain with the black roof frustration. Fight the good fight brother...

Just be aware that none of the Zaino products in that kit will remove the scratches. The Z5 will help cover them a bit and they may look fine once you're done, but they'll still be there. If you want to remove the scratches, you'll need an actual polish to buff them out prior to application of the Zaino.

Good luck and enjoy.

I have no first-hand experience with this product, but Zaino does offer a polish that is intended to remove scratches and swirls. I've heard that it's best applied with an orbital buffer instead of by hand.
