Default Another Zaino convert

Just sold my Blazer, so now when I'm not riding my motorcycles I'll be driving the Corvette. I was looking for something that would last longer than wax, so I broke down and bought the Zaino show car kit.

I only have one coat of Z-5 on but am really impressed by the results! Even more impressed by how quick it was to apply a coat. Didn't take nearly as long as the Meguiar's i've been using. Hopefully I can apply another coat or two this evening and be good to go with it!

To all of those that complaing about mixing stuff (adding the ZFX to Z2 or Z5) you should try it before complaining. As an added bonus, i was able to apply the Z5 in direct sunlight.

I "discovered" it recently myself, having heard about it for years. I've always used MEGUIAR'S products in the past and thought ZAINO was just to confusing with the multiple steps and mixing. What I really like about it is the ease of applying it.

The funny thing is, my ex father in law once gave me a bottle of 'polish' that they used at his dealership on Mercedes, Porches, BMWs. I've been trying for years to figure out what it was, as I obviously can't contact him.

Turns out it was zaino.

Been using it for well over five years now, and all they do is continue to improve their products.

Think Z5 is impressive with Z6 or Z8, try the NEW Zaino CS.

I got mine last week and this past weekend applied it after a quick coat of Z5 Pro. This stuff is really impressive.

Absolutely follow the directions if you use it and don't do anything instinctive. Like trying to buff it off. It's like a wetless lubricant best way to describe it. Takes one spray about 4" above, work out to about 1 1/2 square foot area with a clean preferrably new cotton applicator. Work it in and move to the next section.

My advise is walk away for an hour or so to let it dry before you look at the finish. It looks horrible at first all splotchy and smeary, but when it dries its like a clear coat of plastic applied to the finish with the feel and performance of a fresh polish job. Suppose to last up to nine months but I'll have to see on that one. I just wanted something to extend the protection a little longer of a fresh polish job and this product is it!

I took some pictures but it's really difficult to capture the difference, you have to see it in person. And it gives the total WOW factor.

Oh and the key to using zaino; use it sparingly that is the most difficult part.

Here's a few images after applying the CS. Hard to tell but it is impressive:
