After years of reading about how great Zaino is, I finally ponied up for the cash to try it. I've always been meticulous about keeping my SS clean and freshly shined. Because of that I don't think I'm as amazed as some others, but it's still the best product I've used and I will continue to use only Zaino from now on. For the SS anyway.
If you want nothing but the best for your car and don't mind paying the premium price for it and the extra steps it takes to do it right, then I recommend Zaino. For a daily driver that you don't care as much about, or if you are on a tight budget, you can probably get away with a good quality over the counter carnuba wax.
Zaino gave the car a noticably deeper, wetter look.
The only product that I wasn't impressed with was the ZCS clear seal. It left streaks in some areas. I admit I may have applied it too thick though. But the steaks came off easy with some Z6.
These are the steps I took:
(Back in the fall I buffed the car with an orbital buffer using a mild cutter, then a very mild cutter, then polish. I didn't feel the need to buff the car again.)
- First I washed the car with dawn
- Claybar'd with Z7 as a lubricant
- Washed with dawn again
- 3 coats of Z5 swirl remover with ZFX follwed by Z6 detail polish
- 4 coats of Z2 polish with ZFX followed by Z6
- ZCS clear seal
- Z8 final touch detail spray
- Z12 glass polish
