I get mine from properautocare also. That site you found is pretty damn expensive even for 1 litre. I just didn't want to post a link since tropi-care is now a sponsor. You can find the poorboys at poorboysworld.com.

Menzerna Internal polish and Final Polish 2 are great polishes for swirl removing and final finishes. Zaino ZPC is a nice one step polish a bit less aggressive than IP but more aggressive than FP2 but finishes down very nicely. TC swirlcutter is mild and probably comparable to FP2 cut wise.

FYI: If you haven't noticed already there is no "best" wax or polish. The prep and skill involved is more important then the product itself. Basically know what your doing any use a quality product that you like.

Zaino user since 1999. I started using it when I bought my 94 Firebird back then. It did an awesome job on that car and made it look almost new. It had tons of swirls on it which virtually all disappeared. I've been truely happy with Zaino. A friend here at work I turned on to it. He said its the best stuff he's ever used and will never go back to anything else!

Zaino makes some good sealants indeed, as I used them from '99 through '05, but I just recently switched to Menzerna and an orbital. In my experience there really isn't any comparison between Zaino applied by hand and Menzerna's twins (Intensive Polish and Final Polish II) applied with the orbital for removing swirls and other paint markings. I have never used Zaino with an orbital though, so I can't comment on that.

After working with custom paint jobs for 2 years at a body shop, I love 3M products. If i had to use anything else, there's no shine like Mothers!

My formula is almost 10 years old and it has had nothing but Zaino. I am the second owner now. I just bought a Zaino kit to continue the process. I will use nothing else. The paint looks and feels like new. I have been using detail spray for about 2 months until I ordered the Zaino. So from my 2 cents, Zaino seems to be good stuff.

Now that I am home, I wanted to post some pics of my car to show you almost 10 year old paint with Zaino all it's life.

Enjoy!

Looks great! ^

I'll post pics of my old 94. When I got it, it looked like the 5yrs it was....then came Zaino. It looked like a new car. When I traded it in they told me at the dealership it was the nicest car they'd ever seen that age.

These were taken in 2000

I just used menzerna and my porter cable for the first time and I was amazed. Most of the car had been cheaply painted with some crappy single stage and it spent some time sitting outside. It's a white car and it was literally like chalk. Now I can see myself in the paint and it's nice and smooth. Still a crappy paint job (pitted and such) but it looks like a different car.

+1 for Zaino!! This stuff is worth every cent! A few pics after 3coats Z2+Z6-













I tried Zaino Z8 Show Sealant last weekend- awesome stuff! I wasn't sure if Z8 is worth the money after I see the results with Z2+Z6 but it really gives you an extra shine. I will post pics in the next days with Z8.

Damn that is shiny I got to get some zaino I just ordered my PC. How did you get rid of all the orange peel was it repainted?

Ruhrpott

It's the factory stock paint- only washed by hand. Just use Zaino a few times and you will get this results.
