Default I have a confession

Well Guys I have to say I'm giving up on" Zainos I have found another yes
I have found a Detailing product better " Surf City " you will not believe the shine and ease of use. You know how a lot say you can't get white to shine I beg to differ take a look.



These are the products and they cost less than Zainos

Zainos product are way overrated IMO. The company has been very effective in their marketing though.

I use mostly Meguairs...no complains.







Silver cars are hard to make them stand out, mine is the product of years of constant treatments with Meguiars. I use nothing more.

All those years of constant treatment? Maybe if you had used a better product it wouldn't have taken that long. Mine only took 1 treatment. Priceless !! j/k!!

@chaman I use Meguairs as well. My Regal is the same color and has years put in as well. Love the T/A especially the mini on the dash.
@Mels SS I was just wondering it looks awesome though. I'm a little jealous.
I can tell the previous owner did not wash the car very often and don't think it was ever waxed. Especially around the SS badges. I have already done one had wax and one with the powerball and it looks and feels so much better now.

Zaino is a great system, but it is exactly that. A system. Once you start using Zaino products, one pretty much has to use them endlessly for the preferred effect.

Menzenra/Klasse/M105/M205 do it for me. I look for the best products overall, I don't just stick with one brand.

I have used Zainos on my cars for years and loved the results but I must say
