Just got my Zaino in the mail. Any tips?
I will be doing black CL tomorrow. Any of you have tips that have worked for you regarding Zaino. I hear it is good, but never used it myself. I always used mothers or Mequiers. I heard that Zaino kicks ass on black, and thats why I bought it.

A pretty penny for the whole kit i seen. The only thing about is that a lot of people are against it just because it says to dawn wash ur car. I haven't tried it yet. probably later on.

Go to Zainobros.com. I ordered the show kit for 80 bucks or so. It all adds up and I will let you know how it looks when I am done.

Moving this to car talk because two of the zaino kings (Scooter and Shawn S) rarely read this forum.

Why are people against it because it says use Dawn? You only use Dawn ONCE before you claybar for the first time to remove old wax. After that you use the Zaino car wash or another brand.


Don't use too much! You'll never get it off. Use the Z5 in up and down and side to side motions, not circles. It will totally help take out swirl marks.

Do not put it on thick! On my CL (white) I could hardly tell there was polish on the car! Also: wet the applicator pad with some Z6 Spray....it helps!

I have this problem too with my white CL. I basically have to just keep track of which areas have already been applied, and just buff off the whole section. White cars in general don't really show off a good wax/polish anyway... but at least you can feel good about taking care of it properly
