this may sound mighty ignorant, but how long will it take to apply all of that? i can't imagine how nice the paint is going to look when it's all done, but i also can't imagine ever having enough time to do it all. good luck man, and have fun!

highly doubtful i'd do it all at once!
probably Z7, Z1, Z5 (twice), and Z2/3 (depending on which car i'm on).
i probably won't hit the interior until later and probably won't use the Z6 unless i'm gonna show one of the cars.

Well, since Zaino is considered a polish and not a wax, it actually alters the paint instead of sitting on top of it. The good thing about Zaino is that it is applied just like a wax though, so there is no buffing required. Just apply it and wipe it off after it drys. It actually chemically bonds down deep into the paint, and is really noticable on dark paint. I have a Silver SVT, and even though its a light color, I really notice the difference. The metal flakes in the Silver frost seem to have almost separated on a microscopic level, giving the car a sparkle, especially in the sunlight. It also makes the surface look 3D, almost like you could reach into it and shake your reflections hand! Oh, and you know those spider swirls you see when you look at the reflection of the sun on the surface.......gone! I was amazed because I could see those when I first saw my car in the showroom at the Ford dealer. The car looks better now than it did then!!! Zymol is the closest product on the market, but all it does is make the car look wet. It doesn't penetrate into the paint.
