one more thing, how much of each should i buy to get me started, I gota do her right from the start so Imwilling to spend some cash!!! A good one years supply?

 

well, that depends on how much you plan on washing the truck, and how many coats you want to do.

if you just want an occasionaly monthly or bimontly coat of zaino, then one bottle of each will probably do. and wash the truck every 2 weeks or so.

but if you are picky about details like i am, then here's what i'd suggest

1-zfx
1-z2
1-z5
3-z6
1-z7
1-z16
1-?z18?

Like i said, a little bit goes a looooong way. about an ounce does my whole truck! inside bed, tonneau cover, door sills, and all!
i use z5 on alll the paint as my basecoats, and the z2 as my final top coat on everything and on all the chrome.
so if i do the max # of coats per day....3...which i usually do...i'll use about 2 oz of z5 for 2 coats, and about 1.25 oz of z2 for one final coat plus all the chrome. just a guestimate

the zfx should last you for both bottles of polish...so 8oz per bottle...16 ounces......roughly 16 coats of zaino....more realistically 14 coats though probably. Plenty for one year. the z7 you use only a little bit every time you wash your truck. i don't wash mine that often cuz i keep up with it daily. i'm sure if you wash once or twice a week you might want 2 bottles of z7.

z16 is 20 oz. bottle, and a little tiny bit goes a long way on the tires. and eagle one tire applicator sponge (yellow foam handle with black foam applicator) is the best way i've found so far for applyling the z tire shine

as for why i go through so much z6...a little bit does the whole truck (quickdetailer) but you should do this before/after every coat of polish, and after every time you wash the truck. plus any time it is lightly dusty and needs a quick detail.

I've got 9 coats of polish on my truck since october, and i'm about 1/2 way through my polish, and through my 1st bottle of z6. i've got a ton of tire shine and z7 wash left though.

another very handy detailing item that will help out alot with the black paint is a california car duster. they won't scratch the paint, and if you look at black the wrong way it'll get dirty
the cali duster is great for dusting hte truck to look perfect again.

during the spring/summer/falll i dust the truck daily, sometimes twice a day as long as it hasn't rained since it was last washed, or too dirty. then i use z6 quick detailer every 3 days. i can go up to 3 weeks without washing the truck....and i have NO garage, doing this method, and as others can attest to, my truck is usually clean enough to eat off of. LoL! plus i z6 it before every show, or whenever i feel the urge to show it off. LoL.

so a single bottle of everything, and 2 or 3 bottles of z6 should be good for close to a year

sorry for typing so much! LoL!

 

COOL thanks soo much!! I don't know if I can offer as much attention to her as u can, i cleaned her last night and just parking in the parking lot at my school she had a good coating of dust/dirt on her!! It makes me crazy I hate to see it dirty but I think the dealer put a sH**ty wax on and did a horrible job with it, its oily and you can see where the excess wax is. Can't wait to gether back andput some zaino on her!! thanks again for all your help!! (I'm also gona have a hard time parking her at work because I work on the beach and its all curbside... guess Il have to pay $5 everday to park in the nearby holiday in parking lot!!)

 

I had never heard of Zaino before until reading thse posts. I will be placing an order for some. It appears to be a great product. From the pics I have saw of your truck Harley, it does give a beautiful finish to an already great looking truck. Thanks for the tip on Zaino...
