zfx is a zaino product.

www.zainobros.com

here's the quote off their site on what it does


ZFX™ Flash Cure Accelerator Additive

Three years in the making, Zaino ZFX™ is finally here!

ZFX™, with Flash Cure™ (patent pending), is a revolutionary new polish enhancement additive that's exclusive to the Zaino Show Car Polish system. There's never been anything quite like ZFX™, and here's why:

All polish, sealant and wax protection systems must "cure" before they can effectively protect your paint. Once cured, all paint protection systems begin to deteriorate. The rate of deterioration depends on many factors, including the chemicals used, bonding qualities, weather, washing, and use of the car.

A very few specialty paint protection systems can be layered to increase protection and paint appearance. Layer-able systems must cure prior to application of subsequent coats. Depending on the product, cure time may take a few hours or a few days.

For lasting protection, most synthetic sealants are formulated to be hard. If not properly designed, synthetic sealants may crack, yellow or distort the optics of the paint surface.
ZFX™ is a Zaino Show Car Polish acceleration and appearance additive. It offers near-instant cure time, reduced surface distortion, enhanced polish flexibility, and improved bonding to both paint and additional layers of Show Car Polish. In simple terms, ZFX™ vastly improves paint surface appearance and increases polish durability.

ZFX™ is the product of more than 30 years experience painting show cars. Professional painters add chemicals and compounds to their paint mix prior to painting to improve paint flexibility, reduce paint imperfections, increase hardness, and improve gloss. We applied this same line of thinking in the development of ZFX™. The result is a stunning professional show car finish with less effort, no waiting and longer-lasting results.

ZFX™ can be used with any of our Show Car Polish products, including Z-2, Z-3 and Z-5. Plus, ZFX™ makes using Z-1 Polish Lok unnecessary on cars that have been clayed and thoroughly cleaned with Dawn dishwashing liquid.

When we say "acceleration," we mean it! Adding ZFX™ to any one of our Show Car Polishes prior to use is like kicking an F-14 Tomcat into afterburner. The competition just can't compete... we'll shoot them down every time. Perfect shine, less time -- guaranteed!

My local Zaino provider talked me out of ZFX mainly due to our climate in Cal so I did not use it. It did take longer to do the initial process since I had to wait about 4 hours for the Z1 to dry but after the first process I do not need to use the ZFX anymore.

It was about 80 degrees when I did my initial Zaino steps.

Up here in the north ZFX is a necessity. I use it all the time or else I would never finish waxing.

hey bill, what was his reason for you not using zfx? i would think its great for any climate, especially where its hot and humid, cuz its like that around here in the summer, super hot and really really humid, and it would take forever for the zaino to dry if i didn't use the zfx. i usually use 3 drops per ounce when its not humid out, but when its humid around here, which it usually is in the summer, i have to up it to 5 drops per ounce so it dries in the same amount of time so that by the time i'm finished applying its ready to be buffed off.

Josh Calif. gets hot but it doesn't get humid (except winter). We don't have the humidity that they have back east. Ours is a dry heat.

I went to aviation school in Memphis (Milington) and it would be raining and we'd be sweating. Very strange for those of us from Calif.

zfx would still help and cut the drying time to zero. it would just mean that you'd use even less than us up north and out east

Yep, pretty much what JCZ said. I do not need the ZFX when I put on a coat of polish now that I've done the initial process. By the time I finish putting it on the whole truck I can start taking it off where I started.
