Sell Zanio and start over with the full Adams kit? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Zman12 · 04-26-2012, 08:22 AM

Okay so here is the deal. Last year right after I got my car I bought the Zanio kit. Basically I have the Z AIO, Z2, Z5, Z6 and the ZFX drops and their car wash. I did the process looked awesome in garage pulled outside and I could see all of the scratches and holograms and that sucked so.

I have been slowly buying a few Adams products and I am about to order their products to start a full correction. I bought a PC already.

So my big question is should I try and sell the Zanio stuff or do the correction with Adams stuff and then still use the Zanio up. Or just start over with Adams and go from there?

Also I did notice that Zanio sells a an actual polish Z PC but I just don't think I want to buy more from them. I like to use one system and try and stick with it.

Oh yeah it is Black... Why on earth I ever got another Black car is beyond me, oh yeah it already had a Whipple on it that is why I went Black

I'm a new Adam's user, and I really like what I've used so far, but I have other brands in my kit (Lots of Armor All products) and I'm going to keep them and use them up. No resason to throw them out. That being said, I did toss out my old microfiber once I got ahold of the Adam's ones. I say keep the Z and use it.

My IBM camaro was only two day old and I thought it was shiny! I hit it with the Adams machine polish kit and the Porter Cable orbital and BOOM! Super shiny! I love the glossy wet look. I haven't used/had the chance to use the Zanio. So I can't compare but only to say Adams was very impressive.

Your car looks great! I purchased the Adams kit last fall, and will be using most of it soon, although I did get some blackfire polish and carnuba wax.

Are the items in you Zaino kit machine polishes are just waxes and sealants? If they are not machine applied polishes, you're not gonna get rid of the swirls on a black car. They must be mechanically removed via a PC and polish. Adam's users get good results...here's a link to what I just did to my swirled black camaro...

I'm never one to tell anyone to throw out perfectly serviceable detail products.

If you want to do paint correction with our system, then use up what you have with Zaino as your LSP (last step product) theres no harm.

If you're really interested in swapping over to our line fully I'd at least try to sell what you have to a Zaino user... no sense in wasting it, I'm sure you paid good money to get it.

Same here, so don't throw out those products. Just get some polishes and you should be set.

Dylan thanks for the candid response. I will be calling in the next few days to get an order going. I am hoping for a nice big fat birthday coupon code from you guys I hope

my birthday is Saturday. I may still get your sealant to since I am sure I will be getting a kit. Hey it's only money right?
