Zaino on PiP and Prius C

Looking great!

I clay barred my 2012 withing a week of getting it and got a coat of Z-AIO on it before the rains started. The Z-AIO really cleaned up the paint without a lot of effort.

I sprayed it down with Z-6 on Thursday and added a coat of Z-5. If all looks well after this next batch of rain I will clean the car again and add anther coat of Z-5. I think that is all I really need for blizzard pearl.

Which product did you use? Z-2 would probably look really nice on both colors. I just didn't want to hassle with mixing the activator.

 

Well since I finally got my car on Wednesday I could bring it by if you need more practice

wow! looks better than showroom!

 

Lol. Dude, you clay barred your car and couldn't add 5 drops of the activator to a couple ounces of wax because it was... a hassle????

 

Are the 2012's clear coated at the factory? I thought Z-2 is for clear coat, and Z-3 is for regular paint. BTW, I've used both and prefer the Z-2 because it seems to wipe off easier, leaving less residue on the cloth than the Z-3.

 

All new cars come with a clear coat except some of the new matte finish cars. Z-2 is a high optical property polish with no abrasives. Z-5 has reduced optical properties but also helps with swirls and very light scratches. It comes off very easy like Z-2. I was being cheap and bought Z-5 because I wanted one polish that would work for my car and my GF's 2006 Rav4. The guy at Zaino said the Z-2 would a waste of money and effort on these lighter cars.

 

My favorite zaino regimen is dawn wash, z-aio, z-6 wipe down, z-2, z-6 wipe down, z-cs

No need for the activator in this unless you want to put down 3 layers of the z-2 in a single day. You can sub the z2 for z5 if you have a dark car

 

Oops. No z6 wipe down between z-aio and z-2, also I really like z8, try it.
