Default Zaino...WOW!!!

I have been reading about the Zaino line of products for months now on this forum and finally took the dive. Before I go on let me say that my Prius is three weeks old so you say "How much better can the finish look?". Let me tell you how much. I spent 4 hours completely redoing my car's finish yesterday. I washed it first then clay barred it. I have never used clay bar before but it is well worth the effort. It really cleaned all that gritty stuff that gets on a car. Next I re-washed it to remove the clay bar residue. Then came the Z5 polish for clear coats mixed with about 5 drops af the accelerator. Very thin coats are the ticket with this stuff. Let dry 30 minutes then buffed it off. I followed that with the Z6 Gloss Enhancer and then repeated the polish steps two more times. Now that sounds like a lot of work and it is but I shouldn't have to do that again for a long time. The car is so smooth it feels like I should get about 5 more MPG! I also used the Leather Treatment on the seats and upholstry. If this stuff last half as long as they say it should, I will never use another product again.

Oh yea, I have nothing to do with the Zaino company. In fact, I was pretty sceptical at first. Not any more!!!

DAn,

Glad to hear it!

Once my current wax wears off, I'm going to go this route also...

What color is your car, that it has made such a difference?

I'll be trying Zaino too in the near future.

I've found the California dusters (both exterior and interior) really keep my car looking quite nice in between washes. As long as I get the dust, pollen, etc off - rain showers are not a real problem - I don't seem to get those dirty rings where the water drops evaporate.

I've been using Zaino for years on all of my cars, and I can tell you that those who haven't tried it yet, or are trying it for the first time; you will never want another wax. I've tried a lot of waxes, but nothing does the job. The only polish that comes remotely close is Klasse, it's good, but not as good as Zaino.

If you want, order a bottle of the Z8 Grand Finale..it's realtively new, and bandgeek, if you think your car feels smooth now, wait until you put on the Z8. I would highly recommend adding that to your list of Zaino stock. The only product I wasn't completely satisfied with is their glass polish...didn't quite meet my expectations, but it does work OK. Their tire shine is fantastic, as is their leather care product. Bandgeek, I'm sure you may already know, or maybe not, but the best way to wash your car before using Zaino (and for the others that haven't ordered yet) is to use Dawn dish liquid. Does a great job of getting off all grease and grime before applying your first coat.

I'm not affiliated with Zaino either, just know a damn good product when I see it, worth every penny.

Dave.

Speaking of worth every penny ...how many pennies should I have to spend for it? And where?
Thanks,
Paul

I'm expecting my first trial order tomorrow. I heard about the products for years on many different auto sites and the reports have always been glowing.

Try www.zainobros.com. I ordered what they suggested as a trial order and the price was in the $40s.

Don't forget to tell them about the smell...it's almost good enough as a cologne :P :wink:

Sign up for the email alerts at www.zainostore.com and you can get all the lowdowns on the up and coming stuff. I think they have a new swirl mark remover out now too.
