Just got my order from Zaino & was reading instructions on how to prepare & apply it. I just have two questions for those of you who use it. I understand that I apply Z1 & leave it on but after I put one coat of Z5 do I leave it on and put another coat because I didn't know if that if wiping off the first coat of Z5 if that would take off the Z1.My other question is that I read on the instruction sheet it said that for 70 degrees or higher you should wait 6 hours in between coats any help or info. will be greatly appreciated.

You definitely wipe off your first Z5 coat when its dry. Then after 24 hours apply, I think it's Z6, the gloss enhancer (the squirt stuff) Just a drop or two per two square feet. Then your next coat of Z5.

Be sure to let the first coat of Z5 dry completely, and I mean completely, otherwise the elbow work required is tripled as you are essentialy drying it by friction.
It should just wipe off.

That's the only hard step. The Z1 is your bonder and it takes a long time to dry.

Have fun. It's worth it. Recommend a California Car Duster. Removes that dreaded layer of dust pretty darn well. Try doing it with a French Maid outfit and see if you get a rise out of the neighbors. Works every time.

1BADL - The Z1 sets up the surface of the car for the first coat of polish. Always remove the Z5 (within 20 minutes), the same as you would with wax. The Z1 should only be used when you strip everything off the car and clean the paint. As Sal Zaino will tell you, wash the car with Dawn dishwashing soap before the first application of any Zaino products to strip the old wax and polish off the car. Then take a clay bar (his, clay magic, or mothers), and clean the dirt that is deep in the paint (use Z6 instead of the bottle that comes with the bar). Then Z1 is applied to give a surface for the Z5 (or Z2) to hold onto. Otherwise, I have found it hard to get the Z5 to spread on the initial application. Remember, this is a show car polish, not a wax. You have to keep it up. Don't detail the truck too much with the Z6. Wash the truck before you touch it up. My last car, I did a lot of Z6 and got swirl marks from polishing the dirt right into the clear coat. Instead, when the truck gets dirty, rinse it with a very mild soap like Z7, dry it and touch up the shine with Z6. Never use Dawn dishwashing liquid, except to strip the polish or old wax twice a year.
