Folks - I need some help understanding Zaino Z5 use.

Some <insert expletive of your choice> dragged a key along the driver's side rear fender the other day. It is not too deep, so I'm hopeful that working the area with some Z5 will either eliminate it or at least make it less noticable.

Qustion is, if I do the fender with the Z5, will it then look different from the rest of the car ?? Should I do the entire car ??

My plan was to follow up the Z5 with the full Zaino treatment.

Thanks.

 

z5 will hide minor scratches... very minor scratches.

you can use it in place of z2 at any time. and you can use it on just part of a car.
and it is a temporary fix.

my suggestion is that you try to fix it so you dont have to keep covering it. to do this means that you need a polish.
if the scratch really is minor (like a swirl) i would use a swirl remover (like 3m makes)... if the swirl remover doesnt get it out then i would use a fine cut compound.

after polishing you need to rezaino the treated area- as polish will remove everything on the car.

 

Thanks wanabe - so then Z5 is not really a polish ??

 

Right - Z5 just fills in the swirls so they are less noticable. Whereas Z2 is thin and does not contain any fillers, so the swirls show through.

 

Z5 use - minor swirls, if scratches, you require compound work
