Thumbs up Zaino Rocks!!

OK, I know this is not the detailing section so flame away if you like.

I just wanted to let everyone who may not go to that section to know that Zaino is the best cleaning products I have ever used! I have tried Zymol, Meguiars, and many others over the years. I was using Meguiars NTX every 4-6 weeks with good results. It is a good product but the Zaino is another step above.

My girlfriend got me the mother load of Zaino stuff a few months back for our anniversary and I have been dying to try it out. This weekend I decided to do a full detail. First I washed the car with Z-7 wash and dried. Then a full clay bar followed by another wash. Then using the ZFX flash cure I did two coats of Z-5 wax and a coat of Z-2. The results are amazing! My car is darker black then when I got it and the paint is like silk. I am going to do another coat of Z-2 later this week because after the first coat the wax is so easy to do.

It's not cheap but so worth it.

I have been using Meguiar's and have been very pleased. However, one of these days I'm going to order some Zaino stuff just to see what all the hype is about.

Here is the Zaino description:

Quickly and safely removes contamination. Makes your paint feel smooth as glass!

Z-18 ClayBar™ is a pliable, synthetic bar that quickly and safely removes imbedded contamination from all glass and painted surfaces. Used for years by automobile manufacturers and auto body shops, paint cleaning clay is an excellent choice for removing contamination that cannot be removed using conventional cleaning methods.

Z-18 ClayBar™ is non-abrasive and works like no cleaner, compound or chemical can. When used as directed, it is safe for use on all paint finishes.

Use Z-18 ClayBar™ to help remove the following:

Rail dust - Tiny, sharp bare metal shavings that can adhere and imbed into the paint finish and cause serious damage when left untreated. Over 70% of new vehicles are transported from the factory using the rail system. In many cases, new cars are stored near a railroad and becomes infected with rail dust.


Brake Dust - Similar to rail dust, brake dust is also in the form of tiny, sharp metal shavings. In recent years, asbestos brake pads were replaced with metallic brake pads, which are actually brake pads made from tiny metal or metallic shavings. Anytime a vehicle is braking; brake dust is disbursed into the air and onto the paint finish. Since the brake dust is now actually tiny particles of bare metal, this form of brake dust can seriously damage the paint finish when left untreated.

Industrial Fallout - A general term used for pollution and can be found in many forms. Eventually, pollution settles onto the paint finish of all vehicles and can cause serious damage when left untreated.

Tree Sap, Road Tar, Bug Residue, Paint Overspray, and Acid Rain Deposits -- These contaminants adhere to or imbed into the paint finish. Left untreated, they will cause permanent damage to your car's paint work by staining and weakening the protective properties.
Z-18 ClayBar™ is highly recommended as the ultimate way to clean and prepare your car's finish prior to using the Zaino Show Car Polish system.

I took some pics when I went home for lunch but they came out $hitty so I will take some more asap but it might not be until the new wheels go on in a couple days.

These are the only ones that came out decent (still crappy). I was in a hury and the sun was directly overhead.
