Default Product Test> Zaino's newest product-- ZFX

Sal Zaino has sent me a couple vial's of a product called ZFX.

If you use Zaino, you know that Z1 needs to be applied before Z2 (or Z5)... Making Zaino a 2-step system normally... Which requires 1-4hrs between each step to cure.

ZFX is COMBINED with Z2 (or Z5), and has a FAST curing time (minutes instead of hours). This 'combination' turns Zaino into a 1 step system-- as easy as using a wax...multiple steps are eliminated.

There's 1 small catch (isn't there always?)... ZFX is only good for about 6hours...after that, its effectivly inert/spoiled. You MUST use the product you mixed with ZFX...then toss it-- so don't make too much.

As far as results go, etc... All I can saw is: WOOOOW! Talk about EASSSY. Of course, it retained all the lusture and durability of the normal process.

Basically, ZFX is the best thing Zaino has added to its product line in a looooong time! A DEFINATE 10 outta 10.

Any questions?? Just ask...

Ohh-- and with ZFX, Zaino is now as easy (or easier) to use than Blackfire.

Hi Aaron . . .

others that have tested ZFX have reported a higher gloss factor - did you see that?

also, you mentioned something that made me curious . . . the statement of using Z1 before you apply Z2/5 , and by using ZFX you save a step.

I'm assuming you are referring to the occassional time you use Z1. . . I have only used it 2 or 3 times this year myself - and have somewhere around 25 coats of Z5/2 mixed.

Personally - i see the real benefit as the ability to apply 2 or 3 coats in a day. Also, if the reported "shine bump" is there - then of course thats even better.

regards . . .

I know what will be sitting under my X-mas tree.

I don't know when it'll be available... SOON-- I can tell you that much.

If u have any further questions about ZFX..feel free to ask.

In a phrase: It fxxking ROOOCKS.

Initially, ZFX was a dose u mixed with 4oz of product.. (Z2 or Z5). The new version comes in a dropper-- so u can control the amount (N drops per OZ or whatever-- won't know until Friday)-- this way you'll waste less product.

Will this eliminate Z1 complete? Honestly.. IMHO.. Yup.. damn right it will, period.

What will it cost? No idea... but it'll be worth EVERY penny.

With ZFX there is NO NEED for Z1. You mix ZFX with Z2 or Z5... and Z2/Z5 cures in minutes, not hours... applying multiple coats becomes trivial.

Also-- you NEVER take Z1 off-- you apply Z2 or Z5 ON-TOP of Z1... never remove your Z1 when applying Zaino.

(I have extensive knowledge at this point on how to use Zaino from talking with Sal Zaino so much...please feel free to ask application questions)
