My 05 Anthracite TL A-Spec (Lots of pics)
Hey guys, I've been a memeber since 2005 and I never posted pics of my car. Well I got bored and I decided to post some. Hope you guys enjoy...
I use Zaino and as of now, I have 4 coats of Z-2 & Z-5, and 2 coats of Z-CS on my car. My TL is so damn CLEAN!!

Hmmm... good question. I'm sure it will make a difference on whatever you're using. I love Zaino... and if I were you, I wouldn't waste time buying wax products off any store shelf. It doesn't compare to Zaino... I promise you. I should of kicked my own ass for not giving Zaino a try and continue using Meguairs NXT. NXT is good but doesn't last long. I'm a Zaino user for life!

Yup... I did all my research how to prep prior to waxing. NXT just doesn't last as long as Zaino. It rains almost everyday during the summer and after I washed my car it seems that my paint is streaky (NXT).

I can wait to wax my car again, after the weather gets warmer. I notice with Zaino, that you dont really need to wash your car as much. You just have to spray it with water and the dirt and stuff just beeds right off and the shine is still there.
I cant wait to try their new products.

I'm sure there are a ba-gillion threads on Zaino and I'm not trying to start another. I have some reading and searching to do - seems like a whole ton of steps to use this stuff.

Thanks bud - I looked at the website - wish they had "kits" instead of all the seperate products. I'll look again tonight when I'm home ........If I could find a kit with all the basic products w/instructions I could handle that.

yeah I saw those 2 - I just gotta go through and see how it all works. I don't mind spending a couple of hours doing the car but if this it like an 8-10 hour project I won't enjoy it......LOL.
I've been using Pinnicle and have really sweet results with that.

You wont spend 8-10 hrs. All you really need is 2 coats of Z-2pro. If you want to hide scratches/swirls, then a couple coats of Z-5 pro is great. For the best protection, and gloss use Z-CS. It's brand spankin new!
