It looks great on tires and does not sling. I like it even better than Zaino Z16.

You can save your aging elbow and try Zaino Clear Sealant. 1 coat of this (and it requires no buffing) followed by Z8 Grand Finale outshines all the layering of Z2 and Z5 IMO.

Thanks!
I have a Flex. Expensive, but takes 1/2 the time, so worth it to me.

Thanks for the comments everybody, but why is this thread worthless without a picture of my hair? I had a darn fine head of hair in the 70's. and if you want a picture of my ride, just imagine a CRM coupe that is really, really, REALLY shiny !!

I became a 303 believer about 6 months ago, nice satin sheen on dash and plastics and tires are clean and black and not fake shiny. i put it on an applicator pad and wipe it on everything including hoses, FRCs and intake under the hood.

I'll bite ...

I'm new to this kind of detailing ...
Does Zaino really require six coats to get you the finish you want?
