LOL!

I might be considered one of those "Zaino purists" as it's what's on my cars.

That being said, I used a line of Meguire's product's to detail a half dozen car's recently, and they all turned out looking great. Meguire's make's a fine line of product's. Car's like yours are the proof.

Did you clay bar it? It looks great, but yours is one my favorite 4th gen Camaro's I have ever seen.

I just did my Camaro with Meguires clay bar and nxt wax. I like their products.

Nice, any pix? No clay bar yet tho, plan to do that with some polish pretty soon, to get out some of the small scratches and really glass her out.



As of now, I'm just using Rain-X car shampoo with Carnauba, Meguiar's "Mirror Glaze" Hi-Tech Yellow Wax, and Meguiar's Quik Detailer.

Looking into some Dan's or Zaino for the polish pretty soon though- Moose, any tips?

Yes, and yes LOL

The Warthog thing is actually a Halo reference (nerdy I know) Had the car pulled out from under the thing so I could take better pics

Well, I think I can help you with any Zaino questions!

Seeing as you haven't clayed yet, you could choose their clay, in addition to Z2-Show Car polish (seeing as you've corrected any paint issues), some Z6-Spray detailer, some of their applicators, and some good towels for polish removal.

If you go with Zaino, shoot me a PM when you're ready and I'll walk you through the process - its very simple and easy to use.

Nice job! I think people overrate Zaino and the other more expensive products like that. I learned that the stuff like 3M, Mother's, and Meguiar's are the better products. I am not impressed with Zaino at all and bought the full detailing package from them. Wish I could get my money back I get better results by using 3M and Mother's. Heck even Armorall has better Tire products, imo, than Zaino, to give you one example

I'm sorry you're not happy with your results after using Zaino. :(

You're entitled to your opinion as well, but "overrated" and inferior to Meguires and Mothers, etc., might be a stretch.

I too like Mothers, Meguires, and a long list of products, most of which I've tried, but IMO, not many products can match Zaino's durability, and shine.

As I stated, you're entitled to your opinion, and I'm not trying to start an argument/debate. But I will "chime in" when the facts may not be 100% true.

Gotta side with Ed on this one. You're not gonna match a professional grade product like Zaino with OTC stuff... The problem with Zaino is that it seems to be a lot less user friendly than many others. It seems to require a bit more practice to get the layering and technique down, which is why I don't bother with it. I think if you gave it a few tries and really learned what it takes to get the Zaino looking good, you would agree. But that's just one opinion.
