First off, glad to be back on autopia after months of hiatus. Back injuries requiring surgery are never easy to recover from.



Anyways, I stumbled upon this method and may never go back. Here's what I did.



I may never go back to "zaino'ng" in the original manner.



Just last weekend, I was really short on time. My car had this done.



Had existing layers of z2 pro on it

Washed with my usual Poorboys Slick car wash

dried with my big blue

simply sprayed on a layer of Optimum Spray wax, wiped it in using MF towel

simply sprayed on a layer of Z8 , wiped in it using MF towel,



et voila.. my car was done !



I know, I dont' have any pics uploaded, but really, the depth and slickness was all there.



For those old schoolers, it actually turned out more like Wolfgang's "dipped in salad oil" look, as opposed to the pure zaino depth.



But for the time I saved, and the EASE of use, I don't think Im ever going back to a NON spray wax (polish) as its really went beyond my expectations.



just thought I'd share this..
 
Are you letting the OCW cure fist? I gave a quick try on my hood and it looks pretty good.

Try Duragloss AW. Doesnt get much simpler than this and I think you'll be surprised by the results. Saves on product, time and it's available locally from Car Quest and some other auto parts supply stores.
 
^ absolutely, I hear ya. The more and more I look into it, I'm never going back to the old ways of waxing/polishing. If the industry comes out with a spray AIO like Meguiar's NXT, I'd be set.
 
Well I am running out of Z6 and wondering if there are any alternatives. I picked up a bottle of Optimum Car Wax (not sure if its the old or new one) but going to try it later this week on top of Zaino Z2 and Z5. Mixing Optimum (which has highest grade carnuba wax) with Zaino won't hurt my Zaino process or layers right?
