Zaino on silver

Silver 8 after 7 layers of Zaino...this stuff is amazing. Here are the results. I tried my best to capture the Zaino effect because it doesn't show as much as it does on darker colors...and pictures dont do justice

Looks great, nothing does silver better than Zaino, here's a silver Miata reflected in my silver '8' (6 or 7 coats of Zaino).

The car look awesome!
Excuse my ignorance, I've never used this Zaino thing.
Can you actually see much difference between 4 coats and 7 coats of Zaino?
Is it as effective on the plastic bumpers?

Looks great but Zaino is soooo overhyped. Any wax treatment would look good if you wax your car 7 times in one month.

Dunno abt the overhyped bit - I had more than 10 coats of Eagle One and Autoglym on my previous cars, and they cannot match the shine of Zaino!

Those cars look Fabulous! Well done!

No, no tint, and the Zaino (all 10 coats) has been on the car since late November/early December (the picture was taken last month). Yes you can see a difference between 4 and 7 coats. Wax yellows, Zaino does not, trying to build up 10 coats of wax would produce massive smeares/streaks, but not Zaino. Zaino is supposed to be layred on, and for what it's worth, the pictures do no justice.

Three coats:


And the sky actually looks better reflected off the car than it does straight on.

Zaino is so easy though (with the ZFX for quick dry) that slapping on 2-4 coats on a sunny day is a snap (an hour and a half of work maybe..)

EstonRX,
Be careful ... no more than 3 coats of ZFX treated polish during 24 hours period, i think.
