I did a post similar to this and the general response was that Zaino doesn't do that well with Silver. But I'm still interested to see what other people say now.

I don't have any pictures right off hand, but Zaino is great on silver. Zaino is best used, IMO, on light colored cars.

Yeah I'd like to see some pics of a silver or pewter F-Body that uses Zaino. All I ever see is darker colored cars using Zaino.

NXT looks friggin awsome on my Sebring Silver. I finally found a way to add the depth that's been hard to get on Metallic colors.

On silver, Zaino is one of your best choices. In fact it is on darker colored cars that Zaino does not look great. Make sure you properly prep your car (clay and plish) before applying your Zaino sealant.

Here ya go, sebring silver SS never had anything else touch it but Zaino :
That's too bad, you ought to try some other products to prep the car before applying your Zaino. Your results will only get better. Limiting yourself to a single product is only limiting your results (even if you think they're perfect already). There is no wonder product when it comes to detailing, despite what many on these boards try to peddle.

Well my only reply to that is, "If it ain't broke don't fix it."

The Zaino works great for me. I couldn't ask for anything more, and quite frankly I am not expecting any more. The ease of application and the shine it does produce is way beyond what I ever wanted / expected from an amatuer like myself.

Zaino doesn't have to be applied once a week. That is a preference thing. You really won't get any benefits past 4 or 5 coats. Then the law of diminishing returns comes into play. 3 coats of Zaino should last you around 6 months.

What he said. No I don't apply it every week. I put on three coats over the course of a weekend and that will last me six months in the Arizona sun. And yes my car is a daily driver.

http://www.netsnapshot.com/pcw/b?KEY=3&ACCOUNT=10448 ......just 3 pics about half way down.

2 coats of Z-2 and a once over with Z-6. These are from 2 or 3 years ago. Pictures don't do justice on lighter colored cars, especially metallics. On sunny days, it really is almost blinding at certain angles.

I only used to apply it once a week when I was building the coats up. I'm down to about once a month now
