While Zaino is easy to apply it takes a LONG time.
The procedure they recommend is:
1. wash car with Zaino cleaner
2. wash car again with dawn dish washing detergent (to take off any existing wax, dealers sometimes put on wax)
3. clay bar entire car
4. Apply first coat (Z-7 or Z-5 I forget)
5. Apply coat of (Z-5 or Z-7 whichever wasn't in stead 4).
6. Spray and wipe Z-9 antistatic

Continue adding coats of Z-5/Z-7 depending on how shiny you want it.

I for one did everything, including 3 coats of Z-5 3 months after I got my car. Then re-applied Z-7, Z-5, Z-9 6 months later. Then repeated steps 1-6 one year later.

Don't get me wrong I :heart: zaino, but the full process takes a good 6 hours depending on how hot it is. The colder it is the longer time it takes the wax to dry.
