Replying to: scottm123 (Apr 13, 2007 6:09 am) From the Z-CS FAQ's Is ZFX required with Z-CS? No. You may use Z-CS as the bond or base coat to the paint prior to an initial application of Z-2 or Z-5 PRO. You will not need ZFX if you're using Z-CS unless you decide to use ZFX with Z-2 or Z-5 PRO to accelerate cure time for multiple successive coats of Z-2 or Z-5 PRO

Replying to: scottm123 (Apr 13, 2007 11:01 am) Question I have a new car. I bought the triplets(AIO, CS and Z-8) but then also bought Z-2 ,Z-6 and then ZFX. I think I’m confused; I don’t think your website recommendations have fully implemented the CS solution throughout the guides. Your instructions for the initial application of Z-2 say it is critical to use ZFX. Is this true if I am going to topcoat it with Z-CS? ZFX not necessary if you top Z-2 with Z-cs How would you recommend I use these products together? I’m thinking dawn, Clay, AIO, CS, Z-2 w/o ZFX, CS, and Z-8. Dawn Clay Rewash AIO Z-2 Z-CS Z-8 (He added a rewash and removed an application of Z-CS.)

Replying to: davehelm (Apr 13, 2007 11:59 am) I sorta do both at the same time. Wash the whole car. Use one bucket of strong wash/water solution for clay lube. I also have another bucket with micro-fiber wash mitt ready, with wash/water solution. I clay a section, and then grab my mitt and wash it down, then rinse. I then move on to the next section. Just saves a little time is all. You can dawn to get the car down to the clearcoat, but after claying, I do suggest using their carwash, or any other PH-Balanced wash. Dawn freaks me out, and I only use it when starting a new base.

devoted to Zaino. Has it gone away? As I recall, the "take care of your car" portion of Edmunds had two surface finish categories -- the Zaino one & the everything but Zaino one. The Zaino zealots were hard-core, and I dropped off the board, but it sounds like there are a few people here who might enjoy it, if it still exists.

Just want to say that this car is well worth the wait, for those of you still waiting to receive yours. The car in AMAZING!!! It is extremely fast and very fun to drive. The options are well worth the money as they add so much to the driving experience. My friend has an 07 IS350 and this car blows it away in every category. Just my two cents...

Replying to: pat (Apr 15, 2007 7:36 am) The reality is that I don't care, but it sounds like one or more of these other folks would enjoy exchanging ideas with those well-established boards. |

Replying to: dafinman (Apr 15, 2007 7:22 pm) Well, guess what... I was washing and claying MY car this weekend and found the same thing.  I have no scuff marks on the film itself and I know the film is safe to clay, but the edges... watch out for the edges. Claying against an edge causes the clay to get caught, and it's an absolute ***** to get out.  Looks like we've both learned from experience.  I'll say this though... Dawned, washed, clayed, washed, Z-5'd, Z-6'd,and then Z-2'd twice.... HOLY CRAP, what a shine!  I "dawn"ed and waxed my wheels too. The stuff the dealer used on the wheels was capturing brake dust badly. A quick coat of wax on the wheels has resolved that issue as well.
