Pics after first Zaino Treatment

I just spent all of yesterday going through the Zaino treament, and thought I would share. It was a lot fo work, but it looks really great afterward. It is amazing the difference that stuff makes.

Hey, I believe Val uses the Zaino too, doesn't he? Where do you purchase from? Is it really better than the others?


===========
EDIT:
I just looked at their website, http://www.zainostore.com, and find it very confusing as to what to order. What are you using?

Hey silver, I got the Z-1, the polish lock, then the Z-5, Swirl remover, and it works better than anyhting else I have tried. (thanks to the body shop for the swirl marks ) then the Z-2 , then I got the Z-6 spray polish, it really makes it shine that little bit more.

I am very happy with the stuff, despite the amount of work that went into it.

Thanks for the compliments all.

count me as another satisfied zaino user. its a great product. i'm sad to say that its been around 3 maybe 4 weeks since i washed my car, and other than the wheels ( :o ) its still remarkably clean and shiny.

here's what i use:
z-7 car wash
zfx (dries quicker than z1...i'm impatient at times)
z-2 polish for clear coats
z-5 polish for swirls and fine scratches
z-6 glossenhancer

it is a lot of work, but the results are well worth the time.

so the Z-1 or ZFX needs to be done each time. Huh, I did not realize that. I will keep that in mind.

yes, my car has 33k, I have waxed it probably 5 other times since i bought it. Just use the Dawn hand dishwashing soap, to remove any toehr waxes or polishes, just like the tips from Zaino says to.

not sure about the z-1, never used it, although website says 2x a year for daily driver.

and for the zfx, it says add it to the z-2 for the initial coat, or if you are doing multiple layers in a 24hr period. i typically zaino every 2-3 months, regardless of the actual washing frequency, and do 2-3 layers at a time, so i add the zfx every time i do it.

although, if i wanted to make a weekend of it, i could just do 1 coat a day and not worry about the additive.
