Since I have a new car ('14 SGM GT/CS) and want to protect it right off the bat and I've heard nothing but great things about the Zaino products I decided to give it a shot. I ordered the Z2, the clay bar, the Z6 spray, ZFX, and the wash. The car has been kept really clean since I got it but I knew it needed to be clayed first as I could still feel the contaminates on the clear coat.

So last night around 11:30 I started by washing it with Dawn dish soap and a new mitt. Then once it was as clean as I could get it I used the clay bar on the whole car and then it was SMOOTH as glass. Next I washed it again with Dawn and then dried the whole thing and pulled it in the garage. I then applied the first coat of Z2 with ZFX and buffed it off. Just that one application made it look AMAZING! Then I went over it with the Z6 spray as directed and then another coat of Z2, and another coat of Z6. At this point it was looking perfect and was easy to apply and remove. Next I added a coat of Turtle Wax Ice for long lasting protection since Zaino isn't really a wax despite how it protects. I finally finished around 4:45am and was exhausted but the car looks amazing. I need to try to get some pics of it now but I'm sure it will be impossible to actually capture the depth and wet look with my camera. I also need to find a good picture spot...

Anyways, to summarize, the Zaino products work exactly as described and they are worth the price IMO.

Edit to add quick pic:

Got any pics? I used to use Zaino when I detailed cars for a living. Great stuff.

I love Zaino. It makes a black car look like a Mirror! I'll probably be finishing off paint correcting my passenger side and giving the car another full treatment of Zaino again.
