Use ZFX as stated. Make sure you let the car dry VERY WELL. Heated garages are your friends. If you have a friend/relative with a garage + heater, make the drive. It is worth it.
As far as washing the car goes....
Use warmer water. Dry with an electric leaf blower

I apply it all year long. Used to do it once a week... Boy it made the black paint come alive.:p
Make sure you have ALL day to spare, cause if you just got the kit you are bound to apply too much, and then it will take ages.
Zaino gets tricky with the amount tobe applied, but once youget the hang of it its worth it.

Use a 100% cotton applicator and just put a dab on it. Apply more only when necessary.
When you apply it it should NOT be that white-ish wax look. It should be very light, as the paint looks "cloudy" or "foggy". Make sure you let it dry until it comes of clear. You should not have to rub on it much with a towel (if you do its bc/ its not dry and/or you aplied too much). It might take a couple times till you get the hang of it.
Hope this helps.

How about others?

Can Zaino be applied with an orbital buffer? This would probably help a little with even and thin application.

I just read on their web site that an orbital buffer is not recommended because it wastes too much product saturating the buffing pad. They referred to larger 10-11 inch buffers, though, and I wonder if a smaller 5-6 inch buffer might be effective. I guess Zaino is so easy to apply that a buffer is just not worth it. I'll find out soon enough, my starter kit is on the way!

Zaino goes on perfectly in cold weather and I'm very glad as here in the UK we can't expect much else for a good few months now.
I got my first three coats onto my Titanium Grey this weekend and the effect is stunning...
