Hmm...you need some better camera angles and no flash to really show reflectivity of Zaino. Trust me no wax I have ever used comes close. This is after 3 layers of Zaino on a DG coupe (Darker colors show how shiny Zaino is better).

At 34, with a lot of years of waxing under my belt, I still had never seen a finish like Zaino produces, much less ever had one like that on a car of my own... ...despite all my hard work. I was always a 3-4 step Meguire's guy. Was! Never again. I no longer have the strength or the time.

looks nice. I use Zymol on mine. I haven't tried Zaino. Whenever I want some professional strength stuff, I go to my cousins detail shop and get his wax. He still will not tell me what it is but it is awesome. I remember that he used to use something called "Flash" but he has changed over to a different wax now. At the time, "Flash" was the best wax I had ever tried but the stuff he uses now is just as good if not better. Heck, it might even be zaino

Yup, I installed it about a month ago. I think it really looks great for the front end.

i agree zaino is the best. luv how it looks on a DG cause it makes it look like if it was crome paint. you should def add some z8 to give a lil extra shine

I've used Zaino on my G since I got it over a year ago. Maybe my expectations are too lofty, but I really didn't find that it lasted as long as I would have liked given the time I put in to each coat. I'm switching to Meguiar's NXT and try that. If it turns out Zaino works better, I'll just go back.

For all you zaino *****, there are better products out there for less money that is easier to work with with excellent results. Nothing is really the best.. I like the deep wet look of carnauba wax

Meguiars NXT looks really good for about 3 days. After two wash's it pretty much gone...

I personally like Carnuba wax also. I was a Zymol Carbon Guy, but I went to replace it, and found a product that is much easier to apply and remove, its called Pinnacle. I know it is a matter of preference, but isn't Zaino a polish?? So does it actually protect like wax??? Anyways here are some pics of my car w/ Pinnacle wax! BTW this wax you actually keep adding to like every 2-3 months. And it deepens with the more coats you use.

Wax is useless in a hot environment and offers NO additional protection over Zaino. Wax melts at a much lower temperature than Zaino or any other polymer. Zaino- 60% left after 6 MONTHS, the best wax- 60$ left after 6 WEEKS.
