Thanks guys, I use a combination of Zaino products and a Meguriars dual action polisher. Never had better results with any of the other 20 waxes i have used in my life. Highly recommend it. And yes, I did plastidip the door handles, as far as the window trim goes I tried it and didn't like it so i pealed it off.

Do it man, just make sure you do it on a weekend and take your time, have fun with it. I tried doing it one day after work and ended up staying up in the garage till 2 am finishing it up, Also HIGHLY recommend their leather cleaner and conditioner. Best leather treatment products i have ever used. After you are done using it, your car smells like a new leather glove, I get tons of compliments on how good my car smells, Give it a try and let me know what you think....

OP your Max looks amazing!!!!!
I've heard people use Zaino and thought I gave it a try so I bought the kit 2 months ago. It's addicting and worth every penny. I got my family using it on their cars now also

i detailed my pops old Toyota with my porter cable and finished up with some Zaino, the car looks better than it did brand new (minus the imperfections i couldnt do anything about with a buffer)

i think my favorite thing about Zaino is just how long it actually seems to last; it makes washing my car a BREEZE all the dirt/grime just wipes right off and any that is kinda-stuck you can just claybar off everything is effortless. my coworker knows im a car nut but he assumed i was washing my car like every week - hell no it just looks like it hahaha

^ Lol I wish I could say the same. I washed and zaino'd my car on Wednesday. Went home on saturday and my dad's like "how long has it been since you washed your car??"

I hope I am using the product right, also doesn't help having a black car

Do you guys use wax after using zaino? First time I did, 2nd time I did not

yeah california duster is nice for a quick clean up, but if you let the car get too dirty you dont wanna use it, it'll just drag crap all over your paint.

personally i use a spray wax after i do the zaino polish, why the hell not

Have any of you guys that use zaino tried griots? I use griots have for years when I ran into a nissan ata car show. His paint was amazing. Im wondering how they compare to each other.
