Default Sebring Silver and Zaino

Has anyone tried Zaino on their Sebring Silver s2k? I have seen it used on dark colors with good results but was wondering if it made a big difference on lighter colors. Also what is the highest number of z2 coats that anyone has put on in a week? Is there a such thing as too many coats?

I've put only one coat of Z1 and Z5 on my Sebring Silver Prelude. It looked awesome. Definitely noticed a difference and still do after just washing the car in the winter.

Zaino is the best out there and should make any paint any color look like it came out of a paint shop. as long as you apply it right

There is no optimum number of coats. The finish will get deeper and wetter looking as additional coats are applied.

Saw an interesting comment on another forum recently. The writer said of wax based products, "It's like looking at your paint through a filter". Carnauba has a yellow tint to it, so it will always obscure the true color of your finish. Zaino is nearly 100% optically perfect, allowing you to enjoy the real color of your paint.

I just Zaino'd my Sebring S2000. I used 2 coats of Z5 enabled with ZFX and one coat of Z2. I still want to add another coat of Z2, but the car looks fantastic in its current state. I am very impressed with Zaino. It just got rained on today...the beading was amazing. It was far better than any traditional wax I've tried. The water just rolled off like marbles. And the cool part is that the car still looks sparkly-clean...even after driving in the rain!! I owe you guys for introducing me to Zaino. I thought it was all hype, but it really does deliver.

I was wondering the same thing. Since Sebring is this year's color, there shouldn't be many Sebrings out there that need swirl removal (besides them being harder to see on the light paint). When I ordered my Zaino before getting the car, I guessed that Z-5 wil be unnecessary, and so far I was right. 2 coats so far, I should be able to get maybe another 2 or 3 (with ZFX) this weekend.,,,,

Hard to say - I only saw the first coat for an hour or so before the second coat went on. Besides, a Sebring in the sun is pretty bright! Hard to tell mall shades of difference. Somehow I doubt that I'll see a huge difference between individual coats. Ask me again after another 4 or 5.....
