Those luck enough to be the GTA (Greater Toronto Area for non Canadians) you can purchase the entire line of Zaino products in a barbershop in the Mississauga Square One mall. It's the only retail outlet that I am aware of that carries the product line. It sounds a bit silly but yes a barbershop does carry the product line. I forget the name of the barbershop but it is on the lower level of the mall next to Wal-Mart.

Thanks to Quick_Lude and ZoomZoom for the info on where to get the stuff, and how well it works. Bought most of the "system", and now it sits in my closet awaiting the arrival of my 8...

Ricer is Nicer.....
Klasse
This thread sounds like the Zaino Fan Club.
I will be using Klasse All-In-One as an acrylic polymer base, then follow it with a couple of coats of good carnuaba wax, probably Pinnacle. Started using this on my motorbike's black bits, and nothing else came close. Seems to work best on dark colours, so not sure how the deep shine will look on Tit grey.
(Zaino is also a polymer base, so it would probably benefit from the 'base coat/wax coat' treatment too, its fans really like their results!)

Anybody ever use a product called Liquid Glass? That stuff is awesome. I have tried about every kind of liquid polish/wax out there (excpet Zaino), and nothing even comes close to this stuff.
It is very hard to find in stores, and it is fairly expensive, but it works great. I have been using it for about 10 years now, so I've had quite a bit of experience with how well it holds up and how well it works. It must be similar to Zaino, because the more coats you apply, the deeper and smoother the shine gets. Water beads pefectly forever after applying it and dead sun-baked bugs will almost literally spray right off with a garden hose.
It actually lists on the can (yes....it still comes in a metal can) that you should park the car out in the sun for 2+hours after applying it to "bake" it into the finish. On dark colored cars you have to apply it fairly evenly or you will actually be able to see deeper shine in spots that it was applied thicker on.
Anyway....if you guys ever run across this stuff anywhere, buy some and try it. I assume they have a web site where it could be ordered, but I haven't looked. The last place I have seen this stuff was actually at a Sears Hardware store of all places! I bought the last 2 cans they had and I'm about out.

Momentum Keeps Me Going
Thanks for the post re: Liquid Glass. I've been trying to find a user here abouts. Just got some at Pep Boys. It certainly sound good, so I'll try it now I guess on my red RX-8.
