Well i got sick of all the crappy pepboys wax and broek down and bought some zaino. This stuff has been burning a hole in my pocket waiting for a nice day to do it. I followed the instructions to the letter. Washed it twice dried it clayed it washed it again. Then 3 coats of z5 and 1 of z2....... all I can say is I would have never imagined it could look that good. I wish I had bought it sooner. Any body whos considering buying zaino stop considering and buy it. Now im gonna have to take some pics and postem in the morning.

Best part was after my girl whined about me taking 8+ hours to wash my car when I dragged her out to see it all she said was wow.

Zaino is the best, its taken a while for a few of my friends to realize that, but once they see my car after I'm done detailing it they are won over..

Are you using ZFX, if not putting that many coats on in one sitting is useless, unless you are mixing with the ZFX....

Zaino is great stuff isn't it?

I had asked a bunch of people and was still skeptical until I tried it out and then I was amazaed at how good my car looked. I didn't think that it would make a big difference compared to Meguires or Mothers but it really did and it is all that will be used on my car from now on.

Welcome to the Zaino club.

I'd get Z-2 polish, Z-6 enhancer spray, Z-7 car wash, Z-18 clay bar and the ZFX accelerator additive. If you have problems with swirls I'd also get the Z-5 polish, which is a thicker version to help fill the swirls.

There is ALOT of great info about all the products, their use, tips and tricks and FAQ's on their site.
