Default Ready for Zaino

I had herd many good reports on Zaino and was wondering which one would be the best for me. The car was repainted about a year and a half ago and only gets driven on the weekends and stays coved in the garage when not in use. When it was repainted they did a very good job and wet sanded and buffed the clear. I do not have swirel marks and it does not need to be clay barred. What I was looking for was a step up from Mequiars, something I can put on by hand and buff off. Trying to get the deep wet lookwith out going through a several step process. Any ideas.

Thanks

old fashioned answer:

i still love the old z1 with several z2 coats over it...
and when i finish with z2, i top it with p21s.
winning combo imo-

zfx is nice, but z1,z2,p21s is the bomb!!

Thanks for the reply. I found Z1, Z2 but there are several P21s products. Which one do I need?

Thanks

Problem I find with P21 is it is not durable, an excellent gloss over zaino but it will be gone within days. Zymol Japon has as good a gloss and will last longer.

days... really?
mine lasts a month or so- maybe i should say that it seems to last a month or so, cause its hard to really tell with the zaino. but last time i had it on a car without zaino under it, it did last about a month. i use it often on my beater without any other protection-
the last tests that i read showed p21s had good staying power, but that was a year ago or so that i read this.
i like p21s because of ease of use combined with its shine and protection... if i was using only carnuaba on my car, i might go with another product.
again, not knocking zymol- its all opinion anyway...

btw, o t - you need a badge with those pics!!

Zaino Z2 pro wih ZFX is a pretty easy one-step


Wolfgang is very nice too. No need to mix anything.

Another for Z2pro and ZFX. My car has Z2 and Z5 layered on top of each other, I always finish with Z2pro. I use ZFX to speed the curing process and layer all my coats the same day (usually takes about 4 hours worth of work). The results are pretty good and the car has tightly formed water beeds for about 6 months, at which point I reapply due to nicer weather (not because the Zaino wore off).

At the very least I would recommend getting some Z6 with the Z2pro. I've used a lot of QD sprays and I still like Z6 the best out of all the store bought QDs that I've tried.

If you want a "One Step" deal, the new Zaino All In One (AIO) is great. Cleaner, polish and protectant with a 3 to 4 month durability. By the way, Z-1 is no longer available as it was superceded by AIO. I've got 6 bottles left in stock for any who are interested.
