I need to order some detailing supplied for my "new" G. I have a Black '05 and was thinking about ordering the Zaino Ultimate Protection Show Car Kit and a grit-guard bucket.

It seems to have everything I would need, but I am not sure if I would be better off peiceing something together.

Any thoughts? Any other supplies I'm missing?

 

I purchased one of the zaino kits (it was around 70-80 bucks i think) and i wish i would have peiced something 2gether through detailed image(currently waiting for the jet seal sealant to go on sale again).....compared to the ease of use and shine/durability Meguires NXT 2.0.... the zaino kit didnt impress me much plus was alot more time consuming....... im no pro detailer, maybe i did something wrong with the zaino kit... i dunno.......

I want to order one of these fancy kits, but i dont know, im about to order a ultimate protection one, but damn, i dont know if these guys ahve anything cheaper? $116 is a lot lol

 

I have the zaino kit, along with many other products (Ultima, Meguairs, Optimum). In the looks department, I say Zaino is king. The full process can be time consuming, but not difficult. I don't know if bigugly just put on Zaino too thick (you need a VERY small amount of it), but I have found nxt 2.0 and zaino z5/z2 to be very similar in application ease.

For the best results with an incredibly easy application, I would look into Ultima Paint Guard Plus. Super simple to apply (Wipe on, walk away), leaves a good shine with decent durability.

It is all in the eye of the beholder though, some people prefer the looks of other products.

 

I'm personally a fan of Zaino. Like Midnight said, you just need a very little amount(that took me a while to perfect too). I also have used other sealants, and nuba's. To be honest I go back and forth, but seem to always come back to Zaino at some point or another.

To the OP, I have never bought a package because I've always liked trying new products so never went with a full package of anything. I personally don't use their wash or claybar because I've found just as good over the counter for cheaper and easier to find. I really only use Z2 on my car, because the paint is in very good condition and doesn't need the fillers of Z5.

Their leather care and tire gloss are highly recommended though...and the ZFX is a must so you can do 2-3 layers at a time. Makes all the difference in my book...

 

I like to use the zaino wax, with groits polish after i claybar

 

^Any pics of your lakeshore slate all zainoed up?
