    Question Why aren't more of you using zaino?!

    Ok my question is why arne't more Si drivers using zaino? The stuff is simply amazing! Easy to apply, long lasting, etc etc etc. Most s2k, nsx, vette and fbody owners use it. Why aren't you? I've tried a lot of stuff and have yet to see anything that comes close.

    A wax test done by the nsx boys showing how greta zaino is can be found at http://www.nsxsc.com/html/article10.html

    A pic of a fbody on zaino


    here's an FAQ with pictures about zaino on the s2k boards. http://www.s2ki.com/article/articleview/126/1/29/

    Product info at http://www.zainobros.com

    If anyone has any question go ahead and ask, I know a lot about the stuff. Application? What to buy? Just ask away.

    Well... That sounds like you work for Zaino or something...


    Calm down man... It's just WAX!

    Personally, I don't use it because:
    1/ It's too expensive.
    2/ I think Meguire's does a fine job!

    That post does sound like an advertisement. If people know about it and like it they'll use it.

    That F-Body is waxed so well that it looks like it's melting.
    Nice....

    The NSX forum did a seemingly unbiased, decent job of conducting a good wax test... and the NSX polish?? $144.00??!

    I do not work for zaino nor is this an advertisment. Just trying to inform everyone else of what's our there. I have been doing a lot of reading on this board and other products besides meguirs aren't brought up that often so I thought I'd throw out another name to give people more choices. Sorry if it came off like an ad :)

    Steve yes you do need to see the car now and heck you still need a ride in it so you can experiance the fury of 9000rpms :p :D

    I had never heard of zaino until I saw a post just like this on newcelica.org, so I thought I'd pass it along.

    I doubt this guy works for Zaino's because he's in LA...
    Zaino's is based out of the next town over from me...
    And the only negative about their products is the price...
    It's is the best stuff out there.....period.
    The more you wax, the more the car shines...

    Just used it on my EP... oh what a shine =)

    The price is comparable in my opinion, the down side is that it's not readily available in the corner store. I stopped using it for that reason but I just got a new batch. It is the only wax/polish I've used that I actually ran out of. I have so many wax/polish of different brands on my shelf that I waste more money going to the corner store than just ordering the darn thing.

    Anyways... back to my car...

    IMO zaino is a nice product, if you like that look and have the $ and TIME to apply it. I think there are other products out there that produce the same if not better results than zaino. If you look at a car detailed with meguiar's or mother's product next to an identical car detailed with zaino, the meg's or mother's car will be much richer and the paint will appear deeper. The zaino car will look great, but will have a more reflective"plasticy" sheen to it. However, if you left these same cars outside for 6 weeks the megs or mother's car will look like they have not been cared for and the water will not bead. The zainoed car will look exactly the same as the day it was left there, and the water will still be beading.

    I think that platinum is a great sealant(www.premiumautocare.com), it has the warmth of carnuba and is VERY close to the durability of zaino. Also you can incorporate its use into the products you alredy have. For instance if you wanted to use meguiar's #9 swirl remover, then 3M Imperial hand glaze, then klasse all in one, then top with platinum: No problem.

    Here is a black mazdaspeed I detailed a few weeks ago, the steps were as follows:
    1) meguiar's #83 dual action cleaner polish(applied with porter cable 7424 and polishing pad)

    2)Meg's #9 swirl remover(applied with porter cable 7424 and polishing pad)

    3)platinum paint cleaner (applied by hand)

    4)platinum sealant(applied by porter cable7424 and finishing pad)
