Default Question about ZAINO

Hi guys, I'm new to ZAINO so bear with me...
I have clayed the car, used Z1 a put on a first coat of Z2. Do I need to wash the car again, or can I repeat the steps? (Z1 and Z2). I'm a little bit confused... please help!

How many coats of Z2 do you recomend to have a wet look??

thanks

to confuse things a bit more, i'd suggest using zfx as well. according to zaino, it helps along the curing process, so i make a habit of using zfx with z2 if i'm going to do several layers on the car.

If you do use the ZFX then only 3 coats of Z2 in any one 24 period

Thanks for the INFO.. btw, do I have to wait 30 min as ZAINO says between applications of Z2?? seems like a long time to me....

I can't believe how good this stuff is.. I even tried it on my '90 Civic beater and the thing looks NEW!

I'll post some pics soon!

for the really deep wet look, put some carnuba (p21s is my fav) over your last coat of z2. the carnuba also helps minimize dust on the car.
Just curious when using P21s on top of Zaino, can you still apply more coats of z2 after the p21s or do you have to start all over again and claybar, z1, z2,etc..

Umm.. Hmm... Without the ZFX accelerator, I thought you had to wait longer for it to "cure" before applying a second coat. Maybe I've got that wrong. The curing time should be in the directions you got from the Zaino brothers, gerardog.

You can not apply any sealant or polish on top of any Carnauba. You can remove the P21S Carnauba by washing the car in Dawn dish detergent then re-apply the Zaino.
