What 6 layers of Zaino looks like... (PIX)

Also, you guys with Black or Red cars should really try this wax. Big Money but worth it!!! http://www.autogeek.net/pinsouvwax.html

It seems like the common opinion is that carnauba waxes are the best for black cars. When you go to a place like autopia, they claim that Zaino leaves a plastic, mirror finish and not a deep wet look. I wish I had a black car so that I could try this first-hand. But on the downside, as it was mentioned, waxes will melt faster than Zaino. I used to use the Meguiars NXT system on my old car and after a couple of washes it would start losing its gloss and shine.

Z2/Z6/Z2/Z6/Z5 or something like that?
I haven't done the full zaino yet.. just a coat here and there...

Using Z6 between layers supposedly helps, but not sure if I saw the benefit...
I only used Z2 since I have buffed out all my swirls with Porter Cable buffer...

This is a PITA if you have a black car!!!

BoBG35 - How many bonnets do you go through to remove each coat of Zaino?
I only recently decided against the PC buffer because Zaino is supposed to come off so easily. Still, removing wax is always the hardest part, so anything that reduces the time and effort it takes is worth a look, IMO.

You obviously have never used Zaino! I use Meguires NXT on the other 2 cars since I rather not waste the money on them and use Zaino for the G. NXT is the closest thing I have found to Zaino, but it still doesn't last as long.
