Please consider Zaino before you wax!!! Once you go Zaino,,,, you will never go wax. I've got tons of other stuff I am giving away.. It's that good.albireo said:Just curious when I should put my first wax job on this new car. I'm up to about 500 miles and have had it about 2 weeks... I know the paint needs to fully cure first, right?
Let me know!
Thanks,
Joe
ZAINO is the only way to go as far as I'm concerned.J&D said:Please consider Zaino before you wax!!! Once you go Zaino,,,, you will never go wax. I've got tons of other stuff I am giving away.. It's that good.
I think Zaino is over priced. I swear by Mother's. :worship5twenty said:ZAINO is the only way to go as far as I'm concerned.

It isn't a polish, more like a polymer.Darth said:J&D,
Is that Zaino a polish,like a real fine cut liquid compound?
ninoavila said:You don't need the whole kit. Honestly, all you need is Z2. You only need Z5 if you have minor swirls. The ZFX is for if you plan to apply it in cold/wet weather. It's just an additive that you add to the wax that helps the wax cure/dry faster. If you plan to go all out and get it "show room" I'd clay it (gets all impurities out of clear-coat and makes it SMOOTH as glass), Z5 it 2x's (depending on your paint's finish), and z2 it 2x's (depending on your paints' finish).
Yes, other waxes can bring luster to near Zaino quality, but Zaino lasts weeks-months where as other waxes last days-weeks.
Don't knock it until you've tried it. I've had both, and trust me, zaino ist he way to go.

My ZFX didnt last long, got it in august, got the car in october, used it once, and december it had clumps in it. Sent an email, got a response to call such n such, and a replacement bottle was sent out free.J&D said:I did not use the zfx nor the z1. A little embarassing situation. I bought the package in April but did not use it until January this year. The accelerant did not last that long. Still, as nino stated, all you need is the Z2 and the car wash.
I strongly recommend claybaring the car. This is the key to a smooth as silk finish. Most auto paint stores carry the supplies and may be cheaper than zaino's.

Once you go zaino, you'll never go back. ESPECIALLY if you have a darker colored car. I could tell a difference on my Screaming Yellow GT, but when I applied it to a Mystichrome 04 Cobra, my jaw dropped. It looks deeper, wetter and lasts longer than anything you can buy at Autozone or pep boys.
