The pro I like most about Zaino is it's longevity. It holds up well to the elements... most importantly sun light and heat.
Their tire dressing and leather care is also fantastic.

I've used alot of products over the last 30 years of car cleaning/detailing of my personal vehicles, (including all the auto store brands...) and Zaino has never let me down.

I love their tire dressing (NO sling, lasts long), leather cleaner and conditioner (smells good and keeps our G seats looking new), and the polishes. They have an all-in-one to keep the process simple, but Z2 Pro is still the way to go! Smells like cherries, leaves no white residue, and lasts a long time.

Zaino isn't cheap, but to me it's worth the money.

i've only used zaino's leather care, and i'm not impressed. seems more like a car scent than a cleaner/conditioner. it does dry with a matt (not shiny) finish, but leaves the leather squeaky. wife likes the sweet cinnamon-leather scent, but i'm going to try lexol next. (exterior i use 4*UPP & danase wet glaze)

All well said but the last line says it all. The only other thing I would say is to top it with a quality wax (I use Poorboy's World Natty's Blue) for that wet/liquid look. Sorry for the crappy point and shoot pics but you get the idea.

Zaino makes fantastic sealants.....and like a couple of others have mentioned it's durability is it's strong suit. While Z2/Z5 look a little on the plasticy side when applied, it's the most durable sealant I've used. My only pet peeve with Zaino is that they call their sealants polishes, which in fact they are not. In any case, they make some great stuff.

Go on some reputable detailing forums and read up on what the pros actually use
+1, Megs is definitely FAR from the best stuff on the market. Their professional line isn't bad at all, but the rest is simply OTC stuff.

Yep. The Zaino will last 6 months at least and I top it every 2 months with a coat of wax to bring out the wet/deep look.

Whoa if you love your Maguires so much how come you can't do them a favour and spell their name correctly? Meguiar's does have some nice items in their line, most in the form of their professional/detailers line which is difficult to come by where I live. They have some good OTC products, and I recommend them to people who are not overly obsessive about car care.

I use to be an avid zaino user but I've been branching out and trying some new hybrid waxes and possibly some new sealants just to see what I'm missing out. It is still my go to last step protection for a lot of reasons. People seem to get upset with all the steps involved but it can be used like any normal sealant, without the ZFX, and 2 layers (mainly to ensure good coverage) is all you need to get that wow factor. There is something about that Z grand finale spray that makes the paint explode on a bright summer day.

Are there any retailers for Zaino, or are they just purchasable online? I really want to try their products.

Unless you are in Canada and they do sell it in a few places besides online.
