What would be a good starter kit of Zaino?

You guys that use Zaino, can you suggest a starter kit? Which products and quantities would you recommend? I'll be using it only on my Lightning and don't want to buy more than I need.

I know I need to start with the clay bar but beyond that which products are necessary without buying a bunch of stuff that I wouldn't use?

Tim

You don't need both Z-1 and ZFX. Use of ZFX negates the need for Z-1. I would agree with Z-2, Z-6, and Z-18. I would also recommend Z-7. Although many people feel that car wash is car wash, I really like how much smoother my finish is when I was with Z-7. BTW, if you're not into the "ghetto gloss" tires and want more of a satin finish for your tires and black trim, I would suggest you try Z-16. BTW, depending on how often you wash your car, I would recommend you buy 2 of the Z-6 (and Z-7 if you that route). I personally own all the Zaino products, except Z-3. I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. If you'd rather use a credit card for your purchase for quicker delivery, try Kevin Overall. He takes PayPal. He's also got the super sweet Fieldcrest towels with the trim removed and surged with cotton thread. You can find his order form at http://wtfba.hispeed.com/zaino/orderform.html . Plus his shipping prices are the same as Sal's and you still get the free applicator.

If you want the real pro results, use the claybar too. And never use anything but the zaino wash. Oh, and follow his directions and tips exactly.

I'm using the Z-1, Z-2 and the spray (Z-6?)

Third time around on the 2-6 combo and they
are about half empty ... only use about an ounce
every time I wax

And when you get done, walk over to my house and start on mine =) It sure could use a good washing now, but DAMN this weather.

Maybe some day i'll turn to the darkside and try zaino

No local stores sell it, but there are a few local distributors peppered throughout the country.
