Zaino Z7?

Hey All,

I just got an '05 Black G35 Coupe and am going to perform the crucial 1st wash. I've already bought the microfiber towels and wash mitts, but was looking for a good car wash soap. I've read all the posts about how great the Zaino products are for waxing and detailing, but I haven't read much about using Z7 as a cash wash soap. Any thoughts? Thanks!

I'm a big Zaino fan but I prefer Zymol for car wash.

No. If you try it let me know how it works.

Thanks for the tips! I'm gonna try the Zymol CLEAR Car Wash first. I'll let you know how it goes. A coworker of mine uses it and his car looks amazing (Audi TT).

No...Zymol has two main car wash products.

1) The regular Zymol wash: $8 for a 16oz bottle, this is the basic product. Actually, on their website, they say they use this more for SUVs than for cars.
2) Zymol CLEAR Auto Bathe: over $40 for a 16oz bottle, this is their higher-end car was soap product.

$40 a bottle! That seems kind of steep doesn't it? I don't see anything special in it that would justify that price as compare to many other car wash soaps.

I wouldn't spend the extra money on Zymol Clear. I think you'll be impressed with Zymol wash.

I agree it's pretty ridiculous, but I guess I'm crazy like that...I'll let you know how it goes with the Zymol CLEAR. This car is just too nice to not keep it lookin perfect!

Nice!! Enjoy the ride, it's an awesome car...did you get XM or Sirius radio? I have Sirius and it's pretty good! Between that and the in-dash 6cd changer, i'm good with plenty of music.

As for the tint, I still haven't done that. I'm trying to find a good place out here (SoCal) but have only found shady little garages that have pretty poor quality jobs. I'm also not looking to spend $400 to tint the wondows, so I guess I'm still looking for that happy medium. But I was thinking 15% or 20% as well.

Here's some pics of the car...this is before I installed the clear corners though.

i just got my 05 blk/blk coupe a few days ago also. I'm waiting until after I take the drive down to San Diego to do my first Zaino wash. Let me know how the microfibre towels work. I was told to purchase a leaf blower for the purpose of drying by several people, including Sal Zaino and the guy who runs dftowels.com.
