Its not as clean as it was yesterday because the owner was driving around with it a lot today (Bugs on the front of the car ), but its still very clean though.

Zaino is great but it is overated. I use Meguiar's Pro products and my detail jobs come out looking the same as that or better. I've used Zaino and recognize its quality but its not the end-all-be-all.

That's not the reason smart ***. Do you ever have something good to say? Seems like alot of your posts make you come off like a pompass *******.


To the others who asked like adults, I just think there are better waxes and polishes out there that last longer and cost less.

shiny like woah! lol, to be honest i think most all waxes are the same. I use this one product called liquid luster, it waxes beautifully, jsut like zaino and costs a little less. only drawback, like zaino, you can only get it online. ive used everything, zaino, meguires, mothers, turtle wax, etc. even tried meguires 3 step (which is useless). but the liquid luster is the best ive ever used.

I usually wash, wax, then in between waxes (every 2 months) i use quick wax by meguires, after washing religiously. gets rid of bugs and crap, and use the microfiber towels OMG! they are awesome.

You really shouldn't term a product useless just because you haven't had good results and/or didn't use it properly. The 3-step system is a great one for those who don't have access to a buffer and/or like to do things by hand. Obviously it's not the most abrasive, but it doesn't purport to be. It does what it says and it does it well for 3 things you can find on a shelf next to each other at your local store and only spend $20.

Things like this are one of the reasons the mainstream community is so confused by which products to use for what. Very, very often people improperly use the product or try to achieve results that are not its intended purpose and then term it as a poor product. Obviously there are products out there that don't do what they say they will, but that's a whole different ball game.

ok maybe useless is a very loose term, and a little harsh...maybe more like excessive,

i have heard nothign but bad things about the 3 step thats why i used it to give it a chance. and i did not notice a difference compared to just waxing, except you have to work 3x longer. i know i did it properly, I followed the directions very closely. im **** when it comes to this stuff...i have OCD. and it was all by hand. the best thing other than just wax is probably a clay bar, they get rid of a lot of road debris, overspray, bugs, etc.

Because you're doing 3 different things that a clay bar and wax themselves cannot achieve. You have a paint cleaner that removes oxidation and very light swirling (that a clay bar cannot do), a "polish" (I put that in quotes because it's not really a polish, more like a light filler and blender that diminishes the appearance of remaining defects), and the wax for protection.

The Z06 is very shiny. Nice work. I just wish GM didn't put so much orange peel in their clearcoat.

Well why didnt you say that instead of just saying you hate it? Talk about being negative.

Have you ever actually used Zaino? What in your opinion is better? How about sharing your expertise on the subject instead of just shitting on someones thread about how well it works on their car?
