so just to verify, is the ZFX Accelerator a 100% replacement for the Z1?

as in, replace every time "Z1" is used, and ZFX works the same way ?


Yes, and it gives the ability to add 3 coats in a 24 hour period plus quick dry time.

What's the difference between Z2 and Z5? I bought the starter kit from the zainobros website and it comes with both - do they both do the same thing, and if so then why are both included in the kit? Thanks.

The Z5 is for filing SLIGHT swirls if you have any. The Z2 is used after you achieve the finish you want with the Z5.

I don't know . . . I just have a hard time using any car cleaning product that recommends the use of dawn dish washing liquid . I think I'll stick w/ my Zymol sampler kit for now. All three waxes have been used on cars that won the Pebble Beach Concours. So, I guess I can't go wrong with that.

The Dawn is to strip all of the other wax, grease, etc that you have on your ca s you can start new. I had a couple of coats of Meguiars and water beaded up really well, after a quick wash with Dawn, the water just sat there. Pretty amazing. Of course it beads up nice with the Zaino now on it.

At what point should I consider using the wax? My car is less than a month old and is garaged at home, but not at work...Is this something I should consider doing right away, or wait a little while?

you should consider protecting your paint the day you bring it home!!

and in your case, definitely since it sits outside. i would also suggest that you consider investing in a good car cover.

Thanks for the advice, but I mis-spoke...I had meant to ask should I be using the clay right away?

You should use clay whenever you need to. The way you can tell if you need to clay is to take some plastic wrap (like you use to wrap up food) and stretch it over your fingers. Then, take your fingers and run them over your paint. If the paint feels bumpy then you need to clay. Since the car was probably out on the dealer's lot for awhile it could probably use some claying.
