Detailing Spray...

[P17 TOO]

Going to be buying some detailing spray and looking at Jim's write ups I think he uses Zaino Z6. Had a look on i4 and reading the description it doesn't mention using it on wax so just wondering if this is OK?? Also if you don't think I should buy this what do you think I should buy instead from i4??

Thanks in advance

I got recommended Z6 by Gally havnt used it as yet but he rates it highly too.

I am sure the way he explained to me that once you have waxed you can then use Z6 after to bring back the shine but keep the protection.

I way I see it is after a good detail/clean and wax a few weeks later just wash and Z6 done. Hope am right.lol.

Its fine on top of wax, is a fantastic product and smells bloody mmmm (like blueberry)

 

[Jon.G]

Yep, from what I understand. The Z6 will bring the wax back to life and add some durability, unlike some that reduce the durability of the coat.

I'm waiting for some to come in stock!

If ur worried about takin away some of ur wax then try dodo juice red mist. Brings back the shine and adds some protection as well

I didn't like Z6, but love Chemical guys V7 as it has sealants in it but I wouldn't use it straight onto fresh wax as im sure it will strip it like Red Mist. I have tested it & was posative it stripped Blacklight off!

Or Duragloss Aqua Wax, Red Mist, Z8 and not forgetting fk425!

Oh and Chemical Guys, all their QD as great!

QD - megs no:16 Last Touch.

Top up protection, more of what is already on the car!

But I'm a wee bit stuck in my ways now.

Z6 adds no protection but leaves that just waxed look everytime.

Z8 will do the same as Z6 but it will add some protection of it's own therefore the beading and sheeting will be from the Z8 and not from your nice wax.

Get Z6, use after washing and drying the car and even for wipe downs after applying wax. It's the best QD on the market bar none.

I don't see the point. Is rather use something that also helps protection.

 

[Gally]

Why?

I don't understand why you would put a layer of £100+ wax on then to cover it with some pischy Red mist or similar?

After maybe 4-5 washes top up with something like Z8 that will not only enhance the finish but will also keep the wax topped up.

Z6 is an utterly fantastic product

 

[richy22]

Because I dont put a £100+ layer of wax on

I use Z8

 

[Gally]

Z6/Z8 is for heroes.

But genuine question why would you top a wax with Z8? You would be aswell as just forgetting the wax and using Z8 every week.

 

[Jon.G]

Oops, I knew those two were similar.

 

[Gally]

Z6 is Z8 without protection.

I have both and they'll always be in my detailing box.

Learning curve for me...

I've been using red mist on top of wax and now just realised it's pointless

It does give a great gloss imo, just used it on the gf's iPhone lol.

 

[Jay.S]

Genuine question.

Correct if am wrong I thought Z8 was a sealant spray? So topping a wax with a sealant is the wrong way round is it not?

 

[Kane.]

Thats what I thought ^ I am confused.

 

[Gally]

Lolssss!

Okay you're using the right thought process but it's not a sealant as such it's a top up product. So by using Z8 RM you're only topping the wax with a sacrifical layer.

If you top a wax with an actual sealant then it's going to affect the durability of the product. RM and Z8 aren't supposed to last like normal sealants.

It's hard to explain but "top up" sprays are fine to use over wax, just think of them as quick detailers with a little protection.

 

[Jay.S]

Now I understandz. :approve:

I dont use it every week..after a month or so to help protection before waxing again. FK425 is my preferred QD as VFM. I have used Z6 and can honestly say I did not notice any difference between the 2 of them.

What he said.

Edit oh also red mist is terrible. The "tropical" version is supposed to be better though I have never used it myself.

 

[P17 TOO]

I've ordered some Z6 so everyone can stop arguing now

Thanks

 

[Kane.]

Yeh it's the tropical version, smells lovely too.

 

[leedsboy]

Gally, would you use Z6 as apposed to Jeff's Acrylic Glos?

 

[Gally]

All day long! Like me and JD spooning.

 

[richy22]

I have/use Jeff's Acrylic gloss too and like it.

 

[aucky]

Britemax #6 for me.

No protection as such but its a great multi purpose product.

 

[leedsboy]

Might have to purchase some then if it's that good :approve:

 

[Joe#]

I used z6 for the first time today and was more than imprest!
Oh and I'm addicted to the smell also
