Default any one use Zaino system on pewter cars

Wondering how well this polish works on pewter / metalic silver cars. Have not found anything to give me a good deep shine yet.

Thanks

The key to a "good deep shine" is proper prep work. Clay the paint and polish out any swirls, etc.

*I* like the appearance of Zaino on metallic colors. Another option would be Pinnacle Signature Series, but its durability will be much less.

zaino works great on all paints, but you can really tell the difference between zaino and meguiars with metallic paint, you wont regret!!!! plus the protection from the sun and the durability is unsurpassed.

I use it on both my '69 Z28 and my pewter WS6. The best IMO. The thing that I like it about it the most is that it doesn't attract dust. A day after a fresh wax, the paint is just covered in dust. But with Zaino, it will be almost dust free. It also had great longevity (sp).

The only thing that I don't like about it is that if I use Z1 instead of ZFX, it takes forever for the Z2 sealant to "cure".

Get some...you won't regret it.

I dunno, for some reason I never really liked Zaino all that much even after claying etc etc... I always get my best results with the meguiers ****... I guess since everyone here likes zaino so much i'll try it again... might work for you though, its just that I could never really see/feel the difference between zaino and anythign else.

btw: my car is pewter

Zaino is great, make sure you clay first it makes a world of difference. You will be surprised when you see how much crap sticks to that clay bar.
