Default Addicted to Z-6?

I don't know about other Zaino users, but I seem to be addicted to Z-6. I need to use it after just about every wash I crave the smooth feeling that seems to be gone after 1-2 washes. I'm talking about the slippery, glassy feel that a freshly Zaino'ed car feels like. The water still beads like crazy, but after a wash with Zymol car wash soap and a Water Sprite (synthetic chamois) dry, I notice the car has a slightly "unwaxed" feel. Z-6 restores the "Zaino" feel but does anyone else notice this?

Actually, aren't you supposed to use it after every wash?

Yes!!! I use it for the same purpose plus the fact that it's supposed to repel dust. I park in a very dusty environment at work and need all the help I can get!

I never thought of it as a "requirement", just a suggestion. Do you notice the car does not feel "silky" if you don't use it?

The Z-6, in my opinion, does not repel dust very well at all.......at least not in my garage.

It DOES give the paint that extra "silky smooth, like a baby's butt" feel

That Z6 is awesome stuff! I use it every couple of days (after first going over the car with the California duster), and the paint comes up like new. I've now gone nearly 5 weeks since I last washed the car, and amazingly, the paint still looks brand new. Yesterday I drove 150 freeway miles, and only had to clean the bugs off the windshield when I got home. The paintwork had almost no dust on it at all, except for a negligible amount of brake dust on the rear bumper.

I just posted on a different thread about Z6. Yes, I'm addicted. I always apply Z6 after washing or removing Z2/Z5. After all that work, I feel silly not taking the extra 5 mins to apply Z6 because it really helps keep the car cleaner between washes.

I currently don't have a garage or car port, but cover the car at night. And when I don't Z6 the car it's ready for a wash in about 1 week or 8 - 9 days. With the Z6, I can stretch it to about 2, 2-1/2 weeks (using the California Car Duster, and barring out-of-control sprinklers.)

I love that stuff! Hope that answered your question
