Default Zaino users, got new trick for yall, step in >>

Before I start, please, please forum members ...this is not a "my dog can beat up your dog", "my beer is better than your beer" post.. its not a comparison post. We all have our products we like.. Im simply posting something for those that use Zaino that they might like to try, no different than if you found something with your product thats an extra kick... peace.

Anyway, Ive never been a big user of Clear Seal on the paint... but I got a tip from a friend of mine that does high end detailing on exotics... and I think he might have found something pretty dern interesting...that works unreal!!!!

Im not chemist, neither is he... this seems like it makes sense because by golly it works unreal!

What you do is: apply Clear Seal to a section of the car... let it sit for a couple of min's..dont let it completely dry... then hit the area with Z6 detailer and buff it... there seems to be some type of chemical reaction and boy do these two products bond! The gloss is unreal. The super neat thing about it is that fact that Clear Seal has much better durability than quick detailers like Z6... but the Z6 gloss is much better, now you have the best of both worlds! I did the whole car in about 30 min.

Even the headlight lens cover came out awesome... I only did the two rims on the right side of the car. Left the two on the left with just z5 on them. I want to see if there is a diff in brake dust build up and durability of course. I also coated the tail lights to see if dust build up would be less....z6 does have anti static compounds in it..

Yall give this trick a shot! I think you might be very pleased with the outcome!!!!!!

Thats the clear roof top on there, and I was most pleased with what it did to the factory spoiler...

Man that looks great Wolf. I just ordered some clear seal. We'll see how it works. Any experience putting carnuba over Z2/CS?

Zap City.. have not used carnuba in years and years.. not since using zaino.. stuff tends to stick to it... like the way zaino stacks and the optical clarity is much better

I have been using clear seal a lot lately...mainly because I have run out of Z5 as well any other sealant I usually keep in stock. The CS is nice once you hit with some spray to get that streaking out.

Btw....I top it off with Pinnacle Sov. and it kills that wet look; however, that's what I prefer. But if you like that glossy wet finish, WOLFDOGS formula above works!

From the Zaino website regarding CS...

"For up to 9 months protection, use Z-CS to top coat Zaino Show Car Polish protectants, or use Z-CS by itself. You can even use Z-CS as a top coat to add high-gloss and improved durability to ANY other manufacturer's product. Z-CS extends the gloss and durability of any previously applied products. Z-CS should never be applied over uncured waxes"

There you have it, a match made in heaven... Rejex & Zaino. If anyone can show can show due cause why these two should not be joined in marriage, speak now or forever shut the F... up.

is this the clear seal they sell? I bought the 3 pak and it has the clear seal and detailer but they said to just lightly apply the sealant and let it dry. It does add to the shine but I may have to try your trick and see how it does.

There's plastic trim on a vette interior...???

That sounds good for the clear instrument cover but I would think if you got it on the matte finished areas it would turn them glossy also... no?
