Pictures do Zaino no justice!

I just got done the second coat and it keeps getting better. I've used everything from Pinnacle to Zymol and the Zaino is sooo much better.

Anyway here's a pic but it doesn't show how great the shine really is...

You're right!! As a Zaino convert, I have yet to see a picture that really shows how great the product shines.

How long does the Zanio last before you need to redo the car? Number of washes, days, months? A good wax usually lasts a month or more before I find a need to rewax the car using Meguires' best stuff. That is washing weekly and having the car outside - no garage.

A coat will last up to 6 months. It gets better with more layers so a few in the begining will last a long time and give a deeper shine.

Interesting test! Thanks for posting that. One thing the test leaves out is that with Zaino you can do black plastic as well.

Zaino = THE BEST WAX

I've been using Zaino for couple of months and I never saw my car so shiny.

See picture for result... looks like a mirror..

Used Zaino for the first time 8 days ago. Three coats. Not much work at all. And TALK about the SHINE!!!

As stated above, it can be used on the black plastic as well. Not only is the car shiney, "stuff" just doesn't stick to it. Some birds saw fit to decorate my front fender and before I could get the hose to wash it off, it rained. The water beaded up on the car like crazy and something that never happened before Zaino- a relatively gentle rain completedly removed the bird-stuff.

I'll be re-Zainoing often I'm sure. The task is easy and the rewards are so immediate and so great!! I'm sold!!

I am a Zaino Zealot. Click on my website button below for pics of my Miata and 8 freshly Zaino'd, and click here for pics of other cars with amazing Zaino shines. This stuff is magic! It smells good too. :D

i have nothing against the zaino. i've never used it. i use this turtle wash for 5 bucks and it looks just as good as the zaino in my opinion or better. maybe it just easier to shine or reflect because my car is black...i dont know...

Nice shine...

I've used Turtle wax before, but it's a little more time consuming, and it's a wax.... Zaino seems a little different because it's more of a polymer that bonds harder to your paint (what the heck do I know?).

Anyways, it just feels totally different, and more like coating your car with a thin, shiny shell. If you don't go for all the fancy stuff included in the kit, you can probably get a few year's supply for about 40 bucks. It goes a long way.
