ZFX allows you to apply multiple coats of Z2/Z5 in a 24 hour period, it speeds up the curing process. Other than that, its really not necessary. Unless you just need to put 2 or 3 coats of Zaino on in a day, I would not recommend using or buying the ZFX.
ok thanks Preston.....so you suggest just using the one coat of the Z2 or Z5 and then the Z6? for both cars?Quote:

and do i use the Z6 inbetween coats OR at the very end?
The Z8 is a good product, but its pretty pricey at $20/bottle. I use it sparingly.Quote:

I use the Z6/Z8 between coats and washes (rinses in my case).

On a nice dry day with low humidity it comes off nicely and nothing shines as nice as Zaino.
I just ordered the Ultimate Kit. I also bought a couple of extra applicators, 100% cotton Made In Usa towels and the glass Polish. I can't wait to get started. I will post before and after pics when I am done.
IMO ditch the cotton towels (most who say 100% are not actually truthful) and get microfiber ones.Quote:

I had a professional detail the outside. He didn't get alot of the inperfections out and the first time he gave it back to me with swirls everywhere. I think he had one of his low paid workers do it. I am worried about putting swirls in my car, but I think I will do a better job since its my car.
These are and it's all I use.
