is there anything that i could pick up at my local autozone that will be like zaino i mean not the exact affect but somewhat like it???

 

Liquid Glass.

Polymer based, just like Zaino...goes on & removes easily...

$17.95 a can...

 

Zaino is a polymer, not a wax. There are other polymers on the market (Klasse and Blackfire come to mind) but I've never seen these in an Autozone or PepBoys.

I've not seen any polymer type supplies at the local auto store. They seem to only carry waxes.

All of your supplies and needs are avaiable online without incurring tax. Check out http://www.properautocare.com as a source for Klasse and Blackfire. Check out http://www.zainostore.com for Zaino products. I just ordered Zaino on a Friday and got my shipment in on Tuesday. I don't think that's too bad of a turnover time.

 

Liquid Glass -- I forgot. I stand corrected.

 

I think LG loses alot of sales because they haven't freshened up their image in 15 years...

There's a lot of young guys buying the lastes/greatest & overlook this excellent product...Their marketing deartment sucks...They could atleast put a newer car on the can...

 

I agree -- Liquid Glass has been around what seems like forever. If I recall correctly, I used this in the mid '80s with good success. I sort of have forgotton about it too.

 

I used Liquid Glass for years before discovering Zaino. We’re talking back into the mid 80‘s.
It’s good stuff, but I don’t know how you could POSSIBLY compare the two.

ZAINO is FAR superior.

The formula for LG was sold in the early 90’s and the quality has gone DOWN.
I used to have to buy it at the specialty Auto shops for like 20+ a can.
Now you can buy it at Wal-Mart for 9.99

But, for an inexpensive replacement, it works fine.

Still way better than Meguiars, etc.

 

i just bought LG for 17.95 a big can, gonna try it out today thanks guys

 

You won't be disapointed!

 

this reminds me, i need to put on a few coats of z-5...

 

Q: What is the difference between a polish and a conventional wax?

A: Conventional waxes don't last long because the common ingredient in these products, carnauba wax, breaks down quickly from everyday conditions. Neither Nu Finish Liquid nor Paste Car Polish contain carnauba waxes. No other liquid or paste products can make that claim!

Nu Finish is made up of a series of zinc cross-linking polymer emulsions that help Nu Finish last longer than any other polish on the market. This is why Nu Finish is called "The-Once-A-Year Car Polish." Watch how Nu Finish makes water bead month after month.

 

im unclear on this statement . . .
i know liquid products that dont contain carnauba - and they also dont contain stripping chemicals like other polymers . .

have you done anything mroe than read the label on the bottle?
really, i dont want to be mean, but no one makes that statement anymore, in fact there hasnt been a real wax test that even gave them a decent grade a related to their claims versus results . . .

one must keep in mind though - a great deal of the excellent results that people get from any product is the preperation work done before putting the top layer on the car . . .

 

Son,

I suggest you try Meguiars Gold Class. It shines better than Liquid Glass.

Sincerely,

Wilford Brimley

 

Wilford needs to take off those specs & look closer...

LG is the bomb & Meguiars is a last-place waste.

 

Son,

I have used both products and found that Gold Class out shines LG.

I respectfully disagree with you

Sincerely,

Wilford Brimley

 

Well, can't argue with Wilford...

 

I have mequires gold class now and when it runs out I will be switching to ZAINO. I don't like mequires becuase it seems like if you don't put just the perfect amount on it won't come off.

I just cleaned up my grandmothers car for her and she made me use her Nu-Finish wax. I will tell you that it goes on and comes off easier than any other that I have tried, but its a fake shine. You can tell that its just a super glossy film that will not protect the cars finish.

 

so hows liquid glass

 

Cheap Zaino alternative, it's good stuff.

But if you have the dough, buy Zaino.

 

There’s no comparison.
I used Liquid Glass for YEARS before I discovered ZAINO.

Not to mention that the formula was CHEAPENED several years ago when the company was bought out.
You used to have to buy it at the High End auto stores, now you can buy it at Wal-Mart for 10-bucks a can.

I am not going back for ANY price.
Zaino isn’t that expensive anyway.

SHIT, I just realized this is an old thread and I typed nearly the EXACT response before.

 

Shawn...if you find LG in your local WalMart for $9.99...send me a case, that's way cheap.

 

I got two, maybe even THREE cans collecting dust in my basement.
Make me an offer.

I use it occasionally for getting scratches out of DVD’s & CD’s.
I would use ZAINO, but I'm afraid the Laser might reflect off the surface with such intensity that it may burn through my floor.

 

who the hell was that wilford brimley guy? did no one else think that was hilarious?

 

just use some final polish

 

Holy Laser Gun Batman...The Joker used ZZZZZZAAAAAAIIIIINNNOOOOOOO!!!!!
