Zaino

Not for nothing but i hate washing a car never the less waxing.....But this polish is the $hit! What the hell is in that stuff? I did two coats today and i cant wait till tomorrow.This is the best polish i ever used in my life:D . I cant wait to put a few coats on my wifes 72 vette.Who ever reads this post and never used zaino you have no idea what your missing. I know the cost is a little on the high side but wtf you spent 35 G's on your 8 give it a zaino job.I bet you will never use another polish again.

Looks good! I guess I'm going to give in and purchase some Zaino now. All I hear is how awesome this stuff is! By the way, according to your picture it looks like you have have the front air dam without the side and rear aero flares. I believe this is the same configuration that I want. Do you have anymore pics that you can post? I am getting ready to order the front air dam, but not sure about the rest. Much appreciated!

I am using Z2, Z6 and ZFX. My car looks and feels great. I used a clay bar on it right after delivery (which removed some oxidation), and with the Zaino it really feels as smooth as glass. Good stuff!

Phew!

I just spent the last 4 hours doing a wash, clay-bar and a couple of coats of the z-5 polish. Talk about a lot of work! The results, however, are fantastic.

This is the z-5 polish with the z-fx accelerator, and the z-6 gloss enhancer:

Looks great, but you do realize Z2 should always go on after Z5? In other words don't just stop at Z5. Z5 is for reducing swirls and is not as optically pure as Z2.

Yeah I found that out after I'd purchased it - apparently I didn't read the online docs well enough and didn't include it on the order...

I strive for optical imperfection!

No problem, the beauty of Zaino is you can just layer on Z2 whenever you get it.

I run a detail business...and swear by zaino...here some zaino'ed up cars that look awosome.






I've never had a complaint about shine with zaino

But the best car wash stuff is DAWN, it takes everything off the car (including all previous coats of wax & polish).

I took the Zaino plunge (as you can tell from previous posts). I did the Clay then wash and Z5 then Z6 then Z2 then Z6. The results were....hmmm, just ok. Everyone at work asked how the weekend 'romance' went. I replied that it 'probably isn't worth all the effort'.

Well, last weekend I tried it again and applied 2 - Z2 coats then Z6. WOW! I can really see the difference! Zaino has a wonderful 'WET' look (both day and night).

Now I totally recommend it to everyone!

HINT: USE towels that don't have fabric softener!
HINT2: Don't use to much! a little dab will do ya!

Good Luck!
