Yes to Zaino. It sounds to good to be true, but it is better than can be described. Use it EXACTLY as directed and do not use to much. Multiple coats will look like your car is wet and it will stay that way.

Same here to Zaino. It is great to use. I also like gloss it for quick detailer.

Is Gloss It a Zaino product? It looks like their detailer product is the Z-6.

This forum just turned me onto Zaino. I tried it for the first time last week. Ive tried a lot of different waxes. This stuff is the best. If you have fine scratches or light swirl marks Z5 will remove it and bring the finish back to a deep wet finish. And slippery as wet ice on wet ice. Read through the website to get the right product and follow thier directions.

I've not tried that one.
A nice thing I've used is a basic clay bar with the spray to remove grime. The Ice polish is pretty good afterwards. |

That is all I use, the shine is amazing. The Vette guys swear by it. As far as aluminum polish use California Gold Purple Metal Polish. pick it up at any truck stop or big rig dealer.

Z-6 is a detailer for between washes. Z-8 is a detailer for right after washing and waxing to enhance the shine.
Works best to put the wax (Z2 or Z5) on thin and remove with a microfiber polishing cloth. |

I have always applied my wax by hand. Does using an orbital polisher just save effort/time, or does it do a better job?

It would be easier to buff the car with a rotary buffer at 200 RPM to 400 RPM (very slow) with a Meguiars w-7000 series foam pad and Adam's machine Polish and then a w-9000 series buff pad with the same polish and intermitent sprays of Adam's or any other detail spray until the product breaks down.
Wash and detail with Adams or Meguiars glaze.
That way the swirls and defects are removed rather than applying multiple coats of a cover up topical that has to be done regularly. You have to use Zaino detail or a glaze every week or so to get the POP so why not just do it right.
Talk to any detailer or custom paint shop. i doubt any will advise the use of Zaino. My car looks crystal clear and Pops. I would compare it to any zaino car.
Also, go online and read some of the comparisons between Zaino and other topicals. Zaino is very controversial and no better in most comparisons than wipe-on wipe-off waxes or topicals.
If your car is trashed and can't be buffed to a gloss because of a bad paint job or clear coat then maybe Zaino is the way to go. But, adding layer after layer after layer on a good clear coat is just a build up which will have to be done again and again. Just my opinion from 40 years of painting and detailing.

Yep, Zaino is the best! I began by asking the BATMAN what he liked me to use on his work.....and he suggested Zaino as it has no build up stuff in it.
Had the car for 4 years now and it still looks brand new, honest!
Like someone above said....even though they have numerous products...the ones that you really only need are Z2 , Z5 and Z6.
Z2 is their main car wax....Z5 is same but fills in lite imperfections and such.
Z6 is the mist and shine comparison to other brands. The reason I like it is because after using it over and over and such...it never builds up. I almost never use any water....only a few times to remove heavy road stuff but rarely does that even occur.
You just go to the site, add to the cart and done.
Sal and I spoke a few times....really a true NYorker sounding guy. Nice and knowledgeable.
you will never be disappointed in the product.
