Zaino is not a "wax." It's a polish that's last far longer than wax. If you're just looking for something to protect, then I would get Z-2 pro to start off with. If you want something to hide swirls light scratches then get Z-5 pro as well. For the ultimate protection and gloss then it would be Z-CS (clear seal).

I have 4 coats of Z-5 and Z-2pro, and on top I have 3 coats of Z-CS. Z-CS is the easiest stuff I ever worked with, and the best part, it will last up to 9 months depending on weather conditions in your area.

Although Zaino doesn't make anything for the interior except leather conditioner and cleaner, I use a mix of Z-16 (tire shine) and Z-10 (leather conditioner) and it's way better than NXT Protectant. The NXT stuff is too oiley and too much of a gloss for me. I also use the Zaino mix on the black peices of my engine.....





sorry for the crappy pics.

Im going to get me a bottle of Z-CS and Z-5. I dont really need the Z-5, but i have the old Z-5 and the new one hides swirls more(incase i ever get swirls), Plus i save a few bucks on shipping.

Probably going to get it in a few months. I have put on atleast 12 coats of Zaino (mostly Z-2 Pro) on my car since i got it in July 2005.

Was going to wash my car today, but it rained. So i decided to park it outside and let mother nature wash it for me....lol

Cant wait to try the ZCS and have a photoshot with my friends car. Im going to turn him into a Zaino fan too...lol

Yeah, me and my gf loved meguairs till i tired out Zaino. Now we're both hooked. I'm going to let her borrow my bottle of Z-CS this weekend since I keep telling her she's missing out on Z-CS.

Very nice man!! I think that's the perfect drop right there! I would do that to mine but I think the A-Spec susp fits me perfect since there's major construction going on in town.

BTW, what size are your tires?
