Question's for ZAINO user's...."
 
I'm planning on detailing my car with ZAINO. I was skeptical at first but figured I'd give their product(s) a shot. My questions is:
- Besides giving it a nice depth of shine as seen on certain Org. memebers maxima's as well a photo's from their website will this product product protect against the elements??? (I live out in New England)
-Does Zaino only give a "polishing" effect to the paint or does it give a some sort of protection too like Carnuba Wax??? I only ask because there website says nothing about having to wax,Only states about "polishing".

Zaino will DEFINITELY protect against the elements. You will see the water from rain ball up and run down the car like water does on Rain-X for the windshield. It is a beautiful thing. And make sure you use the Zaino car wash for a smooooooooth finish after washing...

Yes you will get protection from the elements.

Zaino Z2 is a polish that protects for up to 5 months. It's a space age polymer as opposed to a carnuba so the depth isn't as good, but it's great stuff. I use Z5 and Z2 myself. S100 is also great stuff

The best process is to

(1) wash the car using Dawn or similar dish soap. This will remove all the excess wax and grime

(2) use a clay bar, then rinse

(3) apply Zaino #1 on the car in an even coat, let dry

(4) apply Zaino #2 on top of Zaino #1 and let dry

(5) remove excess Zaino #2 with cotton cloth (or a buffer, if you can)

(6) use Zaino #5 on your rims for great protection...

Straight from the website....:nervous:

I'd have to disagree with the comment about lack of depth. I applied 2 coats of their Z2 on my Sheer Silver Se and the car looks awesome. IMO, Zaino outshines all the other waxes I've tried (and I think I tried them all). Well worth the effort.

I think that's the only place that carries it for us Hawaii people. Try emailing Zaino to see if they retail it anywhere in Hawaii...I'm pretty sure they don't since I haven't seen it. But just to let you know, we have a standing discount at Elite Innovations for car care products. Email me (to the left) and I'll tell you more info there.

Thanks for your info guys. Is there anything else I should know about Zaino???

One thing you should know about Zaino....

Get Klasse instead! Nuthin' beats the twins...

After just putting on another 3 coats of Z2 with the ZFX accelerator, I can say that Zaino should be called In-Saino. The shine is unreal. I have tried Klasse, Zymol, etc. Not one of them gives me the shine I get now. Plus, you can wax the car anywhere...sun, shade, etc. I have a silver car, so, silver being like it is,doesn't show dirt. However, when I spent all day waxing it with the other waxes I tried, the car looked good. It looked clean. With Zaino, the car looks like a mirror, and the finish looks wet. I can only imagine what it would do to a darker color.
