I use the package they sell. Start with the Clay bar. Then the Z5 swirl and scratch remover. Then the Z2 polish. Once those are done I rub it down with the spray. Looks beautiful when done. I have only had to clay bar once so far. Have had the Zaino on there for about a year now. Only had to re apply 3 times. I have about 5 coats total on there. I say get the starter package with the ZFX fast dry stuff. Works really well. I hope that helped.

Yeah, the ZFX stuff really helps when you have to wax late in the spring or fall. Can't wait to get home and clean the he!! outta the truck. She needs it, and my stupid @ss left my cleaning crate at home! D'OH!!

Thanks for the suggestions. Guess I'll order up the kit or whatever you all are talking about. Just got a white 2500HD (8.1/Allison) and the clay bar might be a good idea for that color. Been using Mequiars #27 for the last nine years. Have read so much about people loving this Zaino, figured it was worth a try. I wax once a month. Can I still do this with the Zaino or does it build up?

Depending on the color of your truck I would get the following, Z-2 (if you truck is light color) Z-5 (if your truck is a dark color) Z-6, Z-7 and Z-18 Clay Bar. There is a ZKit1 that includes Z-2,Z-5,Z-6,Z-7,Z-18 and ZFX in you want everything.

hcvone,

would you consider pewter a light or a dark color?

I just got zfx, z2, z6, z7, and the claybar, and I drive a dark blue explorer

The products you got will work fine, and you can always use Z-5 down the road, the products are interchangeable, the Z-5 just has better hiding and filling proporties than Z-2 does, and on dark color cars and trucks Z-5 would probably be a better choice, of course using both products as you need them will give you the best of both worlds.

    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
    • New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended? 
    • So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
