Coming out of the closet........... I still use Zaino. Twice a year I do a complete detail, with VERY few washings in between. I have never had the need to do a whole car paint correction (Machine polish). Less paint touching = less micro-mars.
My routine is: thorough wash and rinse. 15 minute clay using copious amounts of soapy water lubricant, rinse. Repeat wash, rinse, and dry. I use Zaino AIO as a cleaner/prep prior to 2 - 3 back-to-back apps. of Z2 (2 oz. used) with ZFX catalyst . 3 products total, about $65. The AIO and ZFX last 4 years. The 8 oz. Z2 lasts 2 years. Not that expensive at all.
Finally, my question: even after all the washing/clay/wash/rinse, my applicator pad becomes filthy with the AIO application. Why? And a related question - how are these easy spray-on sealants working well if washing does not get the embedded dirt out like my AIO does?
Post AIO pad: pic does not do justice
Zaino AIO: "With an emulsifying cleaner and very mild abrasive, Z-AIO gently cleans and protects while effectively enhancing light refraction and reflectivity for remarkable results. .....Z-AIO can either be used by itself, or as an excellent foundation & bonding agent for the full line of advanced Zaino Show Car Products".
