Default How many coats of Zaino do you apply?

I have four coats on mine, don't think it's making any difference to put more. First one (Z5) looked great, second one (Z6) even better . But third (Z6) and fourth (Z5) didn't seem to make much difference. Mixingn in Z5 because I have a Raven Black... Opinions?

Default How many days did this take you?

I just did, Z1-Z5-Z6 last friday, the wash-Z6-Z2-Z6, and I am simply amazed....BTW the second coat was much easier to remove, but then again second coat was just wax, instead of wax and polish lok.<p><A href="http://registry.audiworld.com/audi/registry/details.asp?car=4586">

Default Are you doing these all in one day?

The first day:

Z-1 -> Z-5 -> finish the day with Z-6.

second day:

Z-5 or Z-2 -> finish the day with Z-6.

That is a total of two layers! not 4 or 5.

A layer is complete once the Z-6 is applied. I have more than 10 layers on my TTQ. It gets better with each layer.

I try and apply another layer once a week, but lately with all of this rain I have not been able to.<p><a href="http://registry.audiworld.com/audi/registry/details.asp?car=3285"><img SRC="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/ttsig.jpg" BORDER=0 alt="Click for Mods"></a>

Is the Z6 step worthwhile?

No, I've been waiting 24 hours between each Z5 or Z2...

Default Z6 seems to provide the most gloss, but what is it?

And why do some on this forum say finish with Z6, when the Zaino sites say finish with Z2? Really, what is Z6?

Default Z-6 is the Gloss Enhancer. It should be used AFTER either Z-2 or Z-5 . . .

I use it EVERY time I wash/wax the car. It is the LAST product to touch the car.<p><a href="http://registry.audiworld.com/audi/registry/details.asp?car=3285"><img SRC="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/ttsig.jpg" BORDER=0 alt="Click for Mods"></a>
