Well the bottles are all sitting here. The car is only 8 months old so not alot of remediation to be done.

Have been using various waxes over Klasse and it really looks great.

Am I going to be disappointed if I only do two coats of Z2?
 
Yea, you can get great results out of just two coats. I remember way back when I started using Zaino and had just applied the very FIRST coat, I was floored. I had stripped years worth of Meguiar's waxes off so the difference between the two was incredible. Did you get ZFX? If so, why not do three coats of enhanced Z2? 3 coats of the enhanced Z2 will knock your socks off! Just be prepared for these....:cool:



After two coats you can easily enjoy the Zaino shine, just wait till you layer 30 or more coats and you'll never want to use anything else!



:xyxthumbs
 
I've just started using Zaino. I have 2 coats of Z5 on one vehicle, and one Z5 plus one Z2 on another. I haven't done the first Z7 wash yet. After I finished the older one was much better than before (had been using Meguiars), and the newer one was slick.

I think you are going to love the result with two coats. There is quite a hype with Zaino products, so just don't set your expectation 'rediculously' high that's all.

In my own experience, I was really happy with the result when I reached coat#3. :)
 
Barryb:

The Zaino smell adds to the satisfaction!!





Intermezzo:



Your Jetta picture is my daily mirror:bow

The most amazing shine on a black car I have seen.



(Off topic: There were some interesting argument on bimmerfest.com detailing forum over Zaino.

You and Detailking might want to stop by once in a while to help out some fellow E46 owners. It is nice to see the standard over there raised significantly over the past couple months.)
 
Thanks gti. I just wish it were a pic of MY car (It's guitarman's).



I just took a quick peek at the bimmerfest forum and after reading for about 5 mintues, I started getting a headache. They should call that place the "Let's debate Zaino forum". :D



BTW, in case any of you were wondering where our very own Ripsnort went, he's got almost 1700 posts there!
 
Intermezzo:

He..He...I knew you would get a headache the first time you visit there......

But a lot of them are new E46 owners who doesn't know what a clay bar is, 2 bucket wash, what mitts to use, etc.....
 
Here's some encouragement. My supercharged GTP is 4 months old and I just stripped the stuff the dealer put on it:

2 coats of Z5 and one coat of z2

GTI, yeah. I was pretty dismayed at some of the assumptions made (incorrectly I might add) not only about Zaino, but also about MF towels, Quick detailer, and a few other things.

But I must admit, the forum is pretty tame considering how divided the people are (pro-Zaino and anti-Zaino). What's funny is the amount of people over there that haven't even tried a certain product (esp. Zaino) but are busy bashing it. :)
 
Woah that Jetta could be used as a mirror. How would Zaino look on a Titanium X-type (similar to BMW's Steel Gray)? I currently use Blitz on it but I want more shine!

Try running a search with "zaino" and "pic" in the terms...might turn up some better pictures than I did w/my quick 2-sec. search.


[edit:]hmmmm, now that's interesting...a double/partial post! wow, how'd I do that??[/edit]

<strong class='bbc'>Intermezzo: do you post over at corvetteforum? I saw the exact same Jetta pic over there, but under a different name. Just curious. [/b]</blockquote>Steve, yes. But I believe the owner of that car posts here too. Last I heard, that car's got 30 coats of Zaino. Neck and neck with William 420!

:D I just reached 30 yesterday mid-night so that Jetta owner must have more coats by now. However, it looks like he got a lot better reflection. Time to work my way up 30 more coats. LOL.
