Zaino

This story may offend a few people, so if the tern "car wash" makes you feel a bit ill - leave the room now.

OK - all the children up in bed ...?

I normally park my car outside and palm trees and bats do their thing on a regular basis. It tends to be a red car with orange spots, the orange spots turn a hard brown, the hard brown spots bake into a tar like black, etc.

Washing it is a effort and no matter which polish I used, the effort to clean the car was always significant - I had no real reason to think that the Zaino stuff would be any different - maybe just a better look when polished!

Anyway, finally got round to using the Zaino polish on my car - I thought it would be better if I let it mature in the bottle for a few months

Next time I planned to clean the car, I did my trick of going to the local car lovers auto wash (I sometimes do this as a "pre wash" and drive in at a snails pace to get a long underbody clean). Imagine my surprise when the car's bodywork goes into the auto wash with two weeks of bat crap and salt air residue, etc and comes out absolutely spotless!

Even heavy rain is enough to clean the car now - stuff just doesn't stick to it anymore. I'm not saying that Zaino is the only stuff that has this ability and it's true for all contaminants - I'm just very impressed with it so far!

The other thing about Zaino is the smell of it Plus it's really easy to apply - none of this crusty stuff you need to buff.

Yeah Zaino Rule
so Keep applying more Coat of Zaino to give extra protection and better reflection

Btw i recommend to get ZFX :D
It will make the Zaino Dry quicker so you can buff it early too. Also you can use it Three times a day with ZFX

cheers

I Zaino'd a few weeks back. Just about the easiest to apply wax I've ever used. Rubs on smooth, rubs off smooth with no white chalking marks at all. And, yes, heavy rain just washes most of the grime off.
The stuff is tough too. I have some very narrow twisty roads I have to drive on every day to get to work ( POOR Nick I hear you say!). On Friday I managed to catch a nasty twig on the way down the hill- scraped the entire car down one side. My wife followed on the same road in her non-Zaino'd car and caught exactly the same twig later in the day. My "scratch" just rubbed off. Her's has trashed the entire length of her car. I reckon my $75 investment has paid off many times over. Just wish I'd managed to Zaino her car too!

I like Zymol for the same reason. It gets all the organic tree stuff off the car extremely easily, and it makes the car smell like bananas afterwards!

Mmmm .... bananas.

I bought my last batch in October last year, so this relies on my dodgy memory, but :

The Zymol Cleaner Wax (16 Fl Oz. ~ 475 ml) cost about $30, the Zymol Shampoo (same size) cost about $15. I got them from from an Autobarn store ( I think), but from looking at autobarns website, it is no longer stocked.

Try : http://home.iprimus.com.au/swlrc/zymol_australia.htm

I know that in Brisbane the Sparkles chain uses Zymol for their premium services.

Hmmm ... having a look around, this is a interesting site :
