Default My Zaino opinion

Zaino is the best stuff out there....... I did my own little test with Meg's vs the Z and the Z won.

Consider this..... when was the last time you had a question for the owner of successful private company? When was the last time you called the owner and HE answered the phone? Not some ditzy blond secretary or some 20 year old college student! Try calling Meguiar's tomorrow and see if Barry answers the phone. Barry and his family of 10-something brothers are too busy kissing *** in Hollywood or fixing their makeup to go on "Car Crazy". Meguair's is JOKE. That family is living off the old days....... buy from a private guy who works everyday...... answers his OWN phone! Or you can buy from ol' Barry and help him buy more makeup for his TV show.

The answer is clear so do the right thing and buy the Z stuff!

Better yet, try this...... call Meguiare's tomorrow and ask to speak to "Barry". Tell them your a long time consumer and you have an extremely detailed question for Barry only. Do you really think Barry Meguiare will return your call? Now call Zaino and ask Sal your question!!!!!!! Not only do I like Zaino the product but even more so I like Sal Zaino the man. He always has time for me whenever I call him. He answers my questions patiently and thouroghly. It appears Sal chooses to keep his company small and private so he can keep it the way HE WANTS it and that means the product stays top-notch for the consumer. Meg's is made in a factory in the hills outside of Chattanooga, Tennesee and do you think ol' Barry goes to Chattanooga? Puleeese........

Disclaimer- I am in no way whatsoever receiving any kickbacks, allocated monies, bonuses, cash, checks, money orders, cashier checks, free stuff- of any shape or form, preferential treatment from Sal or ANY of his distributors for this post

The above is completely 100% my opinion, not a fact so take it as that!

Sounds like you don't like this Barry guy very much. I really have no desire to talk to him on the phone but I would like to know why you feel that Zaino is the best thing out there.

For me it was the 30+ years of trying every product I could find. I skeptically tried Zaino almost 5 years ago and I stopped looking. Been using it ever since. Besides its great shine and clarity (99% optically clear) the durability and the protection can't be beat.

Check with Zaino and find out who the closest distributor is to you. wet@zainobros.com

Eventually the Zaino home office will be accepting credit card orders.

I use the Z-2 or Z-5 on the chrome wheels on my SS, works great. The zaino polish can be used on any hard smooth surface. I put it on the windshield, rear window, headlight lenses, rear brake light lenses, etc.

Zaino is so good that they will no doubt reach the level to where you'll be talking to a receptionist. This is not a bad thing. It's called capitalism and prosparity.

I used Zaino, a top quality product omho, but I prefer Pinnacle Soverign or P21. I like the fake high gloss shine look, and wax often, and car is garaged, only driven on weekends, so durability is not an issue.
