Which is better Zaino or Zymol
Okay I fugured if I posted this question in the forum instead of "Clean your Max" I would get more response.
I have been hearing a lot of people mentioning Zaino when cleaning their Max. I have been using Zymol, and if there is a diffrence in quality I would switch to Zaino.
I already have the zainobros. site bookmarked but there are a lot of products there. which products sould I buy for a normal car wash/wax. IF there tire dressing is good what to use?

I personally think zaino is better ... I have used zymol's paste wax (my best friend used the zymol exclusively on his supra and he says the liquid is the best zymol) and was not to pleased with the results. It dusts like crazy! Zaino is not like that at all.
I also think it depends on the color of your car. If you have black, then honestly I think zaino will look better. If you have light colored car ... unfortunatly niether product seems to make a huge difference. I know, I know ... how can that be
I really like the zaino on my sterling mist, but I still am not too satisfied with the depth of the paint. (I have 3 coats of z5 and 3 coats of z2)But I think that has to do with the color of the car. If you want to see yourself in the paint from across the parking lot, you need a dark colored car. Just my opinion.
What you need is (bare minimum):
z1 polish lock
z2 actuall polish
z7 wash
Depending on if you have swirls:
z5 swirl remover
(now I have read that the 3M swirl remover is better and then you just put the zanio on top of that, but I have yet to experiment ... maybe later)
z6 detail is spray is nice for quick touch-ups.
And the new ZFX is nice if need it done quick! It also eliminates the need for z1. I have used the zfx and I really like it! Money well spent. I was able to put wash, claybar, wash again, 3 coats of z5, detail spray in between each coat of z5, and add one coat of z2 in one day. NICE!

Not that I have swirls... but if I did when would I use the Z5 in the process with the other 3 products you mentioned?

Have any of you ever used the zymol 2 step including the HD-clense and Zymol Japon paste wax??? The Zymol japon DOES NOT dust at all...it's really amazing stuff. It goes on REALLY easy...comes off really easy, makes the car look great, and beads up water like no wax I have ever used before.

I like the tire shine the dealership puts on your tires when they detail your car. Is there anything out on the market that can come close or beat the dealers silicon tire shine?... I'm not tring to turn this tread into another cleaning your Max tread just tring to see what is a good long lasting product.
