My T/A is actually silver. It is House of Kolor Silver White Pearl. White base coat,Silver pearl coat and then cleared. I had the paint buffed out by a detail shop early last fall. Before that, it had just been painted, wet sanded and buffed. The buff job was not to my liking so I had it done again, and the guy did an awesome job!

I got the Zaino system in October and did the clay bar. It was not really nessesary, as the buff job got the finish as smooth as glass, but I did it anyway. I then started to get a good base with the Z-2 polish and the ZFX additive. The additive helps the Z-2 dry MUCH faster than without it, so you can buff it off sooner. I got two coats done in a weekend. I also did the glass as I mentioned before.

That was as far as I got due to the weather going south on me up here in New England. It is not recommended to apply the system at temps below 60˚F. It is possible, but the drying times are greatly increased. I just figured I would wait until spring to continue.

The more you use the system, the deeper and more glossy the shine on the finish becomes, until it looks like a mirror. Then it is much simpler matter of maintaining it, or so I have been told.

Glad I could be of help. Feel free to ask me anything you like. I will be gaining a lot more experience with these products over the spring and summer and I will be more than happy to share the results with all of you.

Their website is full of great instructions and tips for applying the products. Read everything you can find on their site before using the system, and you will feel much more confident about using it.
