It's hard to catch the true yellow in the 8. This is as close as I could get. It's much more nicer in person.

Thanks everyone


I actually used zaino in the past. This time I used Meguiars Gold Class . I found them to have the same affect. The only difference is that the Zainos shine lasts much longer. Other then that .... they're both great products IMO

B-E-A-utiful!!! (name that movie)

If the zaino shine lasts longer, doesnt that make it a superior product? dont you want your wax to last as long as possible? i bet the Meguires was much easier though...Zaino is a beotch!! I am going to be Zaiino-ing mine very shortly...just got the show car kit the other day


my 2001 cougar was the same yellow...i parked next to a yellow 8 at the dealer when i was car shopping...looked cool both next to eachother.

Not to start anything, but Zaino is EASIER to apply than any wax. It is the initail preparation that Scares people, but it is just the TIME it takes, not the effort. The prparation of wash with dawn, use the claybar, wash with Zaino wash and then you are ready for applying Zaino. The actual Zaino application is simple: after Z6 (detail spray), wipe on Z2, let it 'cure', and wipe off. No rubbing, no white residue, no worry of getting it on the black plastic (it comes right off).

Nothing could be easier than that, and no muscle is needed. Also if you use ZFX, Zaino will 'cure' in about 20-30 mins, but you could leave it on for hours, and it will still just wipe off. Leave any wax on too long, and you have problems, big problems taking it off.

Looks good Pete! I agree that the only way to truly get the affect of the yellow is to see it in person. Once I did I was sold.

I thought the Z6 was to be applied only between coats of Z2.Does it actually go on first thing after the wash?Going to Zaino soon.Any confirmation of this step would be appreciated.
