The Start Button is just an additional feature, I can start the car with the key or I can turn the key to the accessory position and start it with the Button.

bryx804, Sure, and plastic forks are cheaper than spending the money for metal silverware.

Your wax will wear off after a week or two, while the zaino will remain in tact for 6+ months.

Zaino will cost you about $35 for a set, including shipping (clear coat zaino polish, gloss spray, and carwash liquid), and that will last you 6 months - 2 years, depending on how much and how well you follow the directions.

Are you saying an RX-8 with Zaino applied will look the same as an RX-8 without Zaino applied because of the clear coat? Well, I can say from personal experience that's not true. The cars look great, Jason!

Hardly. When the water sheets off the paint, it doesn't leave waterspots. Add in that the zaino coat prevents a lot of dirt and crud from sticking to the paint, makes the car shine like no tomorrow, and gives it a wet look you can't get for long with regular wax.

Zaino also contains UV protectants. It bonds to the clear coat - which is why it lasts so much longer than a wax.




quack - not my cars

... then why is there such a difference between car just washed and a car that was polished with <<Insert your Brand name here>>, after the washing?

Did you Zaino it? Is that why it's posted here? I don't think Zaino works on plastic.
