I don't know if Zaino is "the Best" or not, but it is unbelievably good stuff. There is a color that comes out of the Titanium Gray that I've only seen after a Zaino application. It looks "wet," but has a different quality too that I can't describe well and which doesn't come out in photos.

I have to show off the car's new strakes with the Zaino shine. The strakes made a big difference to me, many of my friends and neighbors thought so as well

Nice pictures Jason. I see you have the clear sidemarkers. It makes a big difference and I'm ditching the orange in favor of the clears ASAP!

Well I agree that Zaino may not be the best, I would expect for $2000 that the stuff Jay Leno uses better be some awesome stuff, however for the price and the fact that I do not have the bank account Jay does I am very happy with Zaino, after 3 coats my Silver 8 never looked so good, as for me I will keep using Zaino.

Leno uses Zymol "concours" on most of his cars, I think it retails for $175 but you can buy it for around $120 if you shop around.
I don't think it is that expensive at all, considering the shine.

Sal Zaino is a good salesman

Zaino sales itself, and my mistake about Jay still $120 is more than I wanted to pay and all I get for that is the concours product itself, for $89 including shipping I got this

Thanks Baller, I spent about 6 hours doing the whole wash with dawn, clay bar the entire car, wash the car with the zaino wash, then putting on all of the coats of polish and in between each polish putting on the Z-6 to help it all bond together, then doing all the tires and plastics and then putting glass polish on the windows after I was done I was hesitant to start driving it again.

Cool

My 3rd Gen RX-7 with a few coats of Zaino (which I have been using for 7 years or so). BTW, this car is now officially for sale (see Cars for Sale section).

Asking price is $18,000.00.

Tickets from Texas to California aren't that much, are they?
