I've been using Zaino for years and they are great products. Go to the Zaino website and it will tell you what you need and how to use it.

Did that and there is alot of products to use cant figure out what i need.Talked to the people that you order from and that did not have good knowledge,so i ask them if they worked for Zainos and he said all we do is take orders for Zainos.From what i see and read it may look like i need to buy a Clay bar first, then Z-5 ,and also ZFX,then mix the Z-5 With the ZFX then Buy Z6 or Z8 .Looks like clean with clay bar the whole bike then apply Z-5 with ZFX mixed,then keep up with Z-6 or Z-8 .But just not shure this will be my first time useing product,dont want to buy things that i dont kneed.Need more info and what other people use on a Black Bike.All info will be greatly appreaciated.Ty again in advace.Jim

There is guy who is a moderator on one of the Corvette forums and is an authorized Zaino distributor. He also is a Zaino user and has several black vehicles of his own.

You can contact him here: www.hcvind.com

I am sure he can help you with the correct process and products.

BASIC ZAINO APPLICATION TIPS

THREE SIMPLE STEPS to obtain a true Zaino show car finish

Step 1—STRIP THE OLD WAX

Wash the car, going top to bottom, with Dawn Ultra® liquid detergent. Thoroughly rinse the car with a pressurized hose and spray nozzle. Make sure all detergent soap is gone. Leave Dawn in the kitchen since you'll never use it again on your car.
Dry completely using only clean, soft, absorbent towels.

Step 2—REMOVE CONTAMINANTS AND PREPARE THE SURFACE

Feel all paint surfaces. They should be glassy smooth. Contaminated rough areas are quickly minimized using Zaino Z-18 Claybar™ and a soap and water lubricant. Re-wash and dry the treated areas. Look for hazy paint, swirl marks or fine scratches. Imperfections are reduced using Zaino's Z-PC Fusion™ paint cleaner and swirl remover.
Add a light coat of Z-AIO™ to all paint as the foundation and bonding agent. Remove with clean, soft towels.

Step 3—APPLY AND REMOVE ZAINO POLISH*CHOOSE THE RIGHT ZAINO POLISH FOR YOUR VEHICLE'S PAINT
Z-2 PRO™ Show Car Polish is for paint with a clear coat finish—virtually all modern cars.
Z-3™ Show Car Polish is for paint without a clear coat—vintage cars, special aftermarket paint, etc.

Z-5 PRO™ Show Car Polish is just like Z-2, but helps hide swirls and micro scratches in dark color paint.

Spray a little Z-6 Gloss Enhancer™ on your Zaino Polish Applicator. Apply Zaino polish to the paint. Use up/down motions on vertical surfaces, and front/rear (front to back of car) motions on horizontal. Allow the polish to dry and chemically bond on the entire car for at least fifteen minutes. To test for dry, wipe an area with a finger. Dry polish is slightly powdery and comes off with one stroke, revealing clear dry paint underneath. Low temperature or high humidity can increase drying time up to two to three hours. Remove the dried polish using high quality towels.
When all polish is removed, spray a light coat of Z-6 Gloss Enhancer. Immediately buff dry.

*Important: Shake all products well before using. Use VERY sparingly—a little polish goes a long way. Keep applicator damp with Z-6 Gloss Enhancer.
