Default Ever Used Zaino Before?

Zaino is a car cleaner product line. It gives your car a show-car shine, it looks like you just bought it and drove it off the showroom floor.



For any of you that have never heard of Zaino, I compiled an explenation of it from Information I gathered from Zaino's website and one of my friends, which is a Loyal Zaino Customer. http://www.theaudiroom.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15

Will it take a guardrail imprint off of the entire left side of my car?

" I swear officer, I was just driving along, minding my own business when this f***ing guardrail jumped out and hit my car!!!"

yes ZGR is a 'gaurdrail imprint remover', works like magic! hahaha jk


So i've made my mind on which products i'm going to buy, I'm getting all of the good stuff, it's going to cost me probably over $125 for all of it when all is said and done. I'm ordering it next week. They're known to ship it out of their factory within minutes of you putting in the order if you order it before 3PM and it's supposed to take 2-4 business days to arrive!

I can't wait! It'll be great. here's a couple of testimonials (btw I am definately in no way affiliated with Zaino, i've just seen their product on cars and it's really nice):

We ordered the ZFX Monday night, got it Friday evening. I had time to get one coat of Z5 on the car and buff it with Z6 before we left for a car show! All we heard all day long at the car show was "MAN LOOK HOW SHINY THAT CAR IS!" I can't wait to see it after the Z2 goes on!

Sal,

As I left work and went to my car I noticed something sitting near the rear quarter panel. As I walked closer to my car I saw it was a goose and it was acting strangely. I wasn't sure if it was sick or injured so I moved in for a closer look.


Upon closer inspection I saw that the goose was just sitting there snuggling with the reflection in the quarter panel. He/she was in love. As I went to get in my car the goose was alarmed, stood up and started to peck at the reflection quarter panel.

I tried to get the goose away from my car but it refused to leave and just hissed at me and kept pecking the car. So I got in and drove away leaving the poor goose with a broken heart.


The amazing part about this story is that my car had not been washed in about a month and had not been Zainoed since last year. The shine is incredible and the durability is even more incredible.

Ok, I checked the web for the best possible product to polish and show off the new car. I kept running across Zaino Brothers and checked out the site. I decided that I needed to try their products if for no other reason than to debunk any spurious claims.

Well, this is one note that you may not see published on the Zaino testimonial site. My experience was not equivalent to that of others on the site. Read on.

I did the Dawn wash, Clay bar, Zaino wash, Z-2 Pro polish with ZFX, then a second coat of Z-2 Pro with ZFX. I decided not to use the Z-6 between coats one and two (more on that below). This took the course of the morning, and application was as promised. My results -- the site definitely does not mention several aspects of their product and the results of applying it to your vehicle. I intend to expose those aspects.

From the site, you may have the impression that the time you spend putting on the Zaino products is minimal for the results. That is only initially true. The shine attracts attention. At traffic lights, at stores, at gas stations, in your driveway – trust me, you’ll be spending a lot of time explaining to people around you what you did to get that phenomenal finish. A lot of time.

If you’ve browsed and read the site, there are all kinds of tips and testimonials about how little work it is to get that shine. Here’s just another point where the site conveniently does not tell the whole story. Once you get the Zaino on the car, you’ll find that your significant others want that same shine. Then your friends see the car. The neighbors will “just happen” to come over and drop a few hints and questions. And then every one starts asking what the bikes would look like, or the boat. And when you see the difference additional coats make, you’ll have to do multiple coats on ‘em all. Believe me, you’ll work hard, all right.

Another area is the expense for the towels. Right, you get the good ones just like they recommend. And they do a great job. But there’s just something wrong with your significant others going out to the garage to get the “good” towels instead of you raiding the linen closet. So, you gotta spend some more to upgrade the towels in the house. That’s not mentioned on the Zaino site.

I said that I did not use Z-6 between the initial coats. The Zaino site, again, leaves out some vital information you need to include in your product purchase decision. After using Zaino wash and in subsequent additional coats of Z-2, I did use the Z-6 between coats. If you don’t own some really good sunglasses, you’d better add that expense into your calculations. You’re going to need them just to drive with the reflections off the hood. Besides, you’ll look cooler when you’re approaching the crowd that has gathered around your ride when you park. And you are going to have to start ditching the neighbors, family and friends lest you have to start working on their cars, bikes, boats, etc. The sunglasses may help in avoiding them.

So, bottom line, the shine, that wonderful silky, deep shine will bring you lots of attention, work and time. In my experience, lots more attention, work and time than the site would leave you to believe! (Although to be fair, even with the added expenses above, the products are a great value when compared to the competition. )

I’ve copied in the Zaino team on this note to let them know just what I think of the possible misinformation on their site. I also wanted to let them know that my second order of Z-2 and Z-6 was sent as promptly as the first. I did up the quantity of both on this order.

P.S. Everyone talks about the depth of the shine – I decided to check that out. I put a tape measure on my hood in the shade. I can clearly read to the 17 inch mark and I have a light colored car. Now for just a couple of more coats.

and here's a picture of my friend's 350Z that he recently traded in. He's been using Zaino for a while now and he's completely devoted to it. I stole these pictures off of his myspace haha
