Default Newbie Zaino Starter Kit

Who do I buy it from? What bottles, how much are they? What do I need to apply, car wash products, leather chami (sp?), towels, etc?



I saw the instructions in the link up top. Need some sort of starter kit.

imo, a beginner only needs the dawn, some z1 and z2...
o.k.- the patience and beer should probably be on the list too!

the rest are more "intermediate" than beginner- again just my opinion!

Depends if he has swirl marks he wants to get rid of in which case he will need the Z5, might as well do it while he is at it. As for the ZFX, I don't see why anyone is still using Z1 considering it takes so long to dry. The whole process can be finished in about half a day with the ZFX as opposed to 2 days without due to drying and recomended waiting times between applications. Not trying to disagree with you, just trying to give him more to think about than just getting the bare minimum.

plus you are supposed to use z 6 between coats of zaino. So I agree with Mr Rexs' list.

I consider the starter set to include:
ZFX ir Z1
Z2 or Z5
Z6
Z7

anything less and i make a point of informing the customer they are going to miss out on some of the real benefits of the product . .

the gloss spray and car wash do so much to enhance and prolong the protection and shine, it is just wrong not to get them.

of course, i dont make them buy it, but few have and nor been glad they did.

yeah, while the base setup Homer2 mentioned is really all you need, the claybar really adds to the impact of going Zaino...

while still learning the Zaino way -- i'd agree though that ZFX, Z2 or Z5, Z6, Z7, and the claybar is the way to go...

and don't forget the Dawn and towels.
