paint cleanser - zpc, megs stage 1 or sonus paintwork cleanser
polish - pb's pro2, z5 or fk215 aio
glaze clearkote hand glaze, or wmf

Seeing as you have some good Zaino bits I'm going to suggest Z7 wash, then Z-pc for cleansing the paint, then Z5 to finish, if you want more depth and gloss give it another thin layer of Z5 after an hour of buffing the first layer off. If you have Z8 then use that as a final wipedown.

sounds like a plan, stupid rain held me off  :rolleyes:

on lates this week so a few 5am starts should see it done for volksfest.

Only got z6 not z8, would something like v7 be suitable as with z5 instead of z6 as z6 as a lsp it collects dust at an alarming rate.

Z6 is fantastic imo, not sure why your getting alot of dust attraction after Z6 because it's anti static formula should minimise that tbh, I've never had that problem with it?
Should be fine to give it a Z6 wipe down after you have buffed off your last layer of Z5.

Yes but that doesn't mean your car will be completely immune from dust :wink:

I find it really bumps the gloss up after a thorough wash and dry, I will be stripping my Audi of wax soon and giving it an enhancement detail which is long overdue tbh and giving it the full Zaino treatment so will do a write up if I get chance.

Look forward to hearing how you get on :smiley:
