Where do you buy Zaino? I've seen it mentioned for several products here, but haven't seen the stuff in stores. Is their wax and leather conditioner really exceptional/

I haven't used their leather product yet, but I've heard it's good. I use 303 or Pinnacle Cleaner & Conditioner.

Looking sharp... nice choice of color too I got the same

Anyone know how often it is recommended to polish? I'm only guessing couple coats of zaino every 3-6 months.

My Zaino is waiting and ready. Please HURRY and get here car!

04 Acura TL/Navi/NHBP/Ebony on order..........3 weeks away.

The black just looks bad ass. I didn't really want black at first, but blue didn't come with the ebony leather, so I opted for black and man am I glad after seeing these pics.

Looks amazing. I have the same on order - supposed to be built 1/14-1/18. My concern is being able to do "the zaino process" in the middle of Winter in NE. We've been lucky so far. Only about 30" of snow and a 2 week warm spell melted it all away. So we haven't had to deal with all the sand and salt. Today's high temp was 12 degrees.

Absolutely gorgeous....

The tempertures here in Colorado will be in the upper 50's, so tomorrow my Anthracite/Quartz gets the full Zaino treatment. Can't wait.

Great looking ride.

Help me out here....
Zaino has about 400 products on that website. Which ones should I buy to make my car look like yours?

Well, I didn’t go with the traditional route that they say on the web site. I just used three products to get my car where it’s at now. I used ZFX Flash Cure Accelerator Additive, Z-2 Show Car Polish for Clear Coated Car Finishes and Z-6 Ultra Clean Gloss Enhancer Spray. Everyone has said to do the claybar thing but I didn’t and it still came out looking good as you can see. I was to lazy to do all the steps. But if you want to do things by the book then I would get the Zaino Bros' Total Protection Show Car Kit. Has everything that you need.

I think if you go to their site, they say you can go much longer than that...but, they also say, the more coats, the deeper the shine.

There's also temperature "drawbacks," i.e. the colder it is when applied, the longer it takes to dry.
