Thumbs up Zaino + VRed = amazing

This is my 1st red car. I drive a lot, ~30k miles a year. I drive all winter, through salt etc.

In the fall, I had a local detailer Zaino my car. Well, now that the weather has broken, I added just 1 coat of Z5 and Z6 Saturday. Wow. I cant wait to add more Z5

I top it off with Z6, and I will be using Z8 once it arrives. I used Z on black, blue, white and grey. It looked great on all, but on the VRed it looks stunning.

Yer right Malloy...red really shines over other colors with Zaino. Here's a pic, both new, done with clay, Z1, Z2, Z6 combo for three coats on the red, two on the blue.

Cool. The polymer stuff like Zaino, Klasse, FMJ is all pretty awesome. On my non clearcoat garage queen, I use only Pinnacle.

MD--I can't remember if I've asked you this before, but have you used Zaino as well? I'm wondering which, in your opinion, looks better, which is easier to apply, which lasts longer, and which is more bang for the buck. I'm definitely leaning towards getting a bottle of FMJ, but it's $50 still.

Fmj

I have used Zanio. It is great. But now that I have gone through a 3 step process with Menzerna products polish glaze then FMJ, I think my vote would go for the FMJ. I will take a lot of heat for sayiong that.. But if you went throught the same process with Zanio in may be a dead heat. I just a wax nut and like to try different things. I might even give Blitz car wax a try. It is a fine carnuba wax but it won,t last as long. One thing I would reccommend is if you can afford it getting the porter cable obital buffer and the correct polishing pads. Good luck and let us know!
