Zaino Bros rep in SC?

excelguru · #1 (**permalink**) 04-12-2004, 09:24 PM

My car needs a good shining-up (and yes, a clutch adjustment) before heading to the Unique homecoming in mid-May.

So I used the CC search function like a good little boy... After a bit of reading, I decided that I simply must try this stuff called Zaino Bros. Lord help me, I'm actually gonna forgo my usual cheap-ass ways and cough up an eyebrow-raising price for this goofy-named stuff to put on my paint. (Yes, $116 is eyebrow-raising for a cheap-ass like me.

)

Now, is there a distributor in my area, or is the website my best bet. Basically, I'm in Columbia, SC.

Keith,
The Viper guys swear by the stuff! As far as I know its only on the web. www.zainostore.com Its show car polish. The only bad thing I've heard about it is the price.
They do have distributors in New Jersey.

I went direct to their web site and bought the starter kit.

You better get plenty of arm rest before you start becouse you'll be doing the "wax-on, wax-off" thing for a minimum of 6 to 8 coats.

But you will be glad and very pleasently pleased on the finish. It will give you a shine that it hurts to look at

Be sure to follow the specific instructions. Oh and the towels are not cheap either. By the time I was done, I had $140 invested in towels and the kit...

http://www.indycamaro.com/glossboss.htm This is the only place that I have found online, that I can place an order, without having to print out the order form and mail it in. Then wait for the product. Call them, give them your plastic number and 2 days later stuff was here. BTW it's everything they say it is, easy on, easy off, and looks great.

Keith, I ordered some last year and then finally used it on my Fiat last week. Man, that stuff is great stuff!!! Beautiful! I've only got two coats on so far, but going for more next weekend. Can't imagine it getting better, but we'll see. By the way, before that I thought zymol was the best I had seen on my Fiat, but there's a very noticable difference on my car.

Keith, I've been using Zaino products on my car since I bought it two years ago. I'm really happy with it. Zaino has recently started taking credit card orders whereas they used to require mailing a check. They highly recommend the claybar, but I don't care for it myself. There are several different ways you can use the stuff. Give me a call and I'll suggest what NOT to buy.

I bought the Zaino stuff and will be going at it starting this weekend.What type of towels did you use to prevent more swirl?

Any other tips to making it come out awesome besides wax on...wax off a whole lot of times???

I printed, read, and followed in detail all the tips, tricks, FAQ's, etc. from the Zaino website. I found my towels at Bed Bath & Beyond. They were actually on the clearance rack, but they were indeed the correct 100% cotton towels (still weren't cheap). Mine are Fieldcrest brand. Couldn't find the Cannons (I didn't try the mall).

I mentioned a few more things on the other thread "My Zaino results" on this forum.
