Has anyone ever tried using the Zaino Z8 detailing spray? I washed the car, detailed with Z6 followed by Z8 and the car looks just like I applied Zaino polish - the shine is very nice. Keep in mind that I hadn't polished the car in a couple of months, yet the shine put out by Z8 is outstanding.

 

z8 is like carnuba as the last step, imo.
its not a detailing spray- z6 works for that.
did you do z8 without z2?

 

No, I didn't use it immediately right after Z2. The last time I used Z2 was a month ago, if that is what you mean.

 

Z8 is great stuff. Here's my Rio after being Z8'd after arriving to South Carolina from Mississippi:

 

yeh, I loved the finish of z8 over z2 pro

 

I just used it this weekend for the first time, and I agree it looks great. So, wanabe, this is the basic look you are achieving with your P21S over Zaino?

I also noticed that I am seeing much much less dust. Might be too soon to say for sure, but that's my impression. Z6 is supposed to reduce dust, but I always had a lot of dust pretty soon after detailing.

BTW, I goofed up my Zaino order and forgot to order the wash - which is really the only thing I needed soon (other than trying Z8). If I go to Walmart or Target, what brand of car wash to folks recommend?

yes, z8 repels A LOT of dust ! haven't had to crack out the cali duster in a while

brand of car wash - try the Meg's NXT..

 

i also ran out of the zaino car wash and decided to make do with something at target; went w/the meguiar's and have to say i was quite pleased. it's very soapy

 

yup, thats the p21s over zaino "always wet" (deep shine) look!!
finally sal has gotten what we were after-

dont know what brands of car shampoo are available at walmart or target, but i would guess that they might have p21s shampoo or meguiars gold class... or maybe zymol auto bathe. from that list you should be able to find something- and would not be too disappointed with any of them, imo. z7 would not make my list of favorite shampoos- its one of the few zaino products that is o.k., but does not knock my socks off!!

 

Thanks for the shampoo suggestions, guys. Yeah, I've not been overly impressed with Z7 in that I always seem to find things left on the car. But it smells really good.
