Default zaino = the SH*T!!! :56k be patient:

Well, today I decided to polish up my ITR. I used the Zaino ZFX(flash cure accelerator additive) and Z-2(polish) only. I plan to do the Z-5(swirl remover) next week with the ZFX and then another Z-2 coat. Check their stuff out at http://www.zainostore.com. I was really surprised at how easily it goes on and how easily it comes off. Enjoy.

Is it better to wax your car in a side to side motion or circular? Just asking. BTW great work!

would you be able to use one of those bad *** polisher things that you get from lappens or do those not go with this kind of wax?

You're not supposed to apply and let wax sit in direct sunlight, or apply it to hot body panels...

look on the zaino bros website. they have great tips and tricks. according to their website, top body panels should be horizontal strokes and side panels should be an vertical strokes.

in the directions is says that it does not matter whether or not you apply in the shade or sun. next time i will apply in the shade on cool surfaces for sure because it's a bitch in the sun.

It must be some really mild wax/polish...It's nice that you can apply in the sun, I just usually find that it's alot harder to remove. Looks like it does a fantastic job though.
