Zainoed my 4runner, now what?

[markman100]

I spent my first day with Zaino on my 05 4runner and everything turned out great thanks to the tips on this board. Dawn wash, clayed, 2 coats of Z2Pro with FX wtih Z6 in between, topped with Z8.

What do I do now to wash the car and keep the shine? It's garaged at work and at home. I have Mequire's Gold car wash. Because the paint so slick I could probably use my leaf blower to dry it; its quicker and less chance of creating swirl marks.

At some point should I put on another coat of Z2 followed by Z6 or Z8? If so, when?

I only do the whole process twice a year and in between I wash with a gentle auto wash (like the Meguire's) and dry with the leaf blower and microfiber towels.

I'm just imagining you guys breaking out the leaf blowers on your trucks!

Sounds funny but it works. I always hated drying my truck and then get the drips down the corner of the rear windows or at the license plate. No more of that as I blow out all the nooks and crannies. Then I just touch-up the dry job with a m.f. towel. :artist:

I dry with a leaf blower as well. Not only does it get water out of the nook and crannies so you don't end up with dried water runs an hour later, it prevents unneccesary rubbing w/ a MF towel. What I mean is the less drying you have to do with a towel, the less chance for unwanted swirls marks and marring. That is a good thing for dark paints.

Do you have any photos? I am thinking of going Zaino.
