Default After one coat of Zaino! (56k'ers beware)

This is after the first coat of Z3. I think I can count 5 flags reflecting:


A picture of me taking a picture of it:


And two more pics reflecting my house:



Last pic is my favorite picture of it.

It looks GREAT Matt! :cool:
Based on the pictures, your paint looks to be in excellent condition. I miss having good paint to rub on. My Vette used to polish up to a screamin' shine but the clear coat gave out on it.
Rubbin' on my '97 Buick Lesabre or '96 Dodge 4x4 V-10 just isn't the same as rubbin' on the Vette.

Looks great! I gotta try some of that stuff someday. I guess you gotta start with a good paint job first?

FOLKS,

I STARTED USING ZAINO ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO, AND TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, IM A PESSIMISTIC GUY, AND WAS LEARY ABOUT ANY PRODUCT THAT YOU HAVE TO ADD A BASE COAT PRODUCT FIRST, AND THEN APPLY ON TOP OF THAT

BUT THE RESULTS WERE GREAT

BUT WHAT SOLD ME ON USING IT STILL TODAY ISNT REALLY THE SHINE. ITS GREAT, BUT ANY TOP LINE PRODUCT OUT THERE WILL DO THE SAME THING. WHAT SOLD ME WAS:

1. NO WAX TYPE DUST WHEN YOU BUFF THE ZAINO COAT OFF

2. SINCE NO THERE ARE NO OILS/PETROLEUM PRODUCTS IN IT, ROAD AND BRAKE DUST STICKS VERY MINIMALLY. OTHER BRANDS TEND TO ATTRACT DUST DUE TO USING OIL BASED ITEMS IN THIER PRODUCT

They had a thing on off topic where they were testing the various polishes and Zaino finished pretty poorly.....I think the meguiars medallion polish actually beat it..I do know a number of other "aftermarket polishes" did perform significantly better than Zaino

I think Zaino must love the forum, everyone here has such great comments towards their product. Your car looks great Golden 80 :)

I am also a happy Zanio user. After 25 years of my aunt applying 100% carnuba wax to my Milie Migila Red '74 she tried Zanio after the great results on her Black 2001 Trans Am Ram Air. The car has never looked better. The car looks freshly waxed when it is dirty!!! :eek: I have no complants with Zanio. I will have to get pics of my '68 and '74 after I wax them. By the way, BEAUTIFUL CAR!!!! :yesnod:
