Yep...prolly gonna get moved to Car Care/Products.

A large majority of the Corvette owners here are die-hard Zaino users. And rightfully so. It's an excellent product that I would recommend to anyone. There are several other products out there that will do as good of a job and maybe even better. I would suggest that you head over to their website and read up more about it.

Here's the link: http://www.zainostore.com/

I use Meguiars Gold Class. I won't use Zaino until the car gets repainted. My Dad (CAPN17) is a die-hard Zaino user.

I use nothing but Zaino. Zaino is a polish, and it is a three-step process.

First you wash your car with Dawn dishwashing soap, that removes all old wax and residues. Next you use the claybar all over the car. Wash again with Dawn or whatever other soap, not important so don't use anything expensive yet.

Use the polish lock and immediately apply the swirl mark remover polish. It's non abrasive. Let it dry, and wipe off. If you're using ZFX, follow those instructions, otherwise, wait at least 24 hours after you wipe off the first coat. Now go over the car with Z2 (I think it's Z2 whatever the spray is). Then repeat this process two more times, except don't apply Z1 anymore. After three applications of the swirl mark removing polish w/ 24 hours between each coat, wait 24 hours after the third and apply the final polish. I forget, I think it's Z5. Wipe off, and wash the car with Zaino car wash. Dry.

Now, it's perfect. :cool: Best car polish out there, and IMO, polish is better than wax.

Zaino is a belief structure. It's a way of life. A set of values. A way of being.

Just check my sparkles on the 1st sig pic. This is when she was "dirty" in Santa Barbara for the L.A. to S.B. Cruise on Aug 3, 2003, 7:45am p.d.t.. (thanx again for the pic, Alex)

:thumbs:

You'll never regret the hours spent with Sal Zaino's products. DO get the ZFX Accelerator for Z-2 and Z-5 applications. DO NOT skip the Dawn Dish Soap and Clay Bar steps.

It's the labor of love.

Welcome to the Forum. :seeya

Zaino gets the nod here.

It's all love an NO LABOR.
I'm done in less than half the time and my self professed Zaino fanatic buddies can't tell the difference. (except that it may shine a little more than Zaino) :flag

Zaino!!!! Out of the dozens of products used for 35 years, it is to me the absolute best, without question. :thumbs:

Nothing but Zaino for the Gray Ghost :D

Zaino is more like a wax than a polish, since it's non-abrasive ... but it contains no wax or solvents. It's a chain-link polymer product that puts a protective coating on your paint, similar to wax ... except that it's layerable, leaves no residue, and won't hurt or discolor trim pieces, plastic,etc. Great stuff. Highly recommended. :cheers:

:yawn: It's a synthetic wax.

I use ZYPRO. It works for me. Not saying it's better than Zaino but I'll bet you can't tell the difference. I will post pics soon. Wife just bought new Canon G-3 didg. yesterday. Still learning :party: :iagree:

:yesnod:

:yesnod: and most waxes are layerable.

:yesnod: and many waxes don't leave the white powdery residue.

:yesnod: as with many waxes.

Thanks for the link. I took a look at the site & it looks like interesting stuff.

I used to use Meguiers, now I use Zaino. I don't think that there was really any difference in the quality of the shine. If I find something that I like better then I'll switch & use it instead.

I'm a Zaino user, and no more anyother's.
I've got so many polishes in my garage that I've bought thru these years. I could open a store.
Nothing compares to my ZANIO.
Fact.

Did anyone mention Zaino?? :jester

Tried them all! Been faithful Zainoholic for 4 years! Well almost faithful, I cheated a couple months ago and used the 'M' brand and after about a week, I dawned it off and started all over again with Zaino.. :cool: You can tell a difference.
