have fun!

 

Now which one do I need to get? my car's paint is fine... I wax my car with other product before. I just wanted to give Zainos a try.

Z-1™ Show Car Polish Lok
Z-2™ Show Car Polish for Clear Coated Car Finishes
Z-3™ Show Car Polish for Regular Paint t
Z-5™ Show Car Polish for Swirl Marks and Fine Scratches

 

Get the Z-2. For most cars, this is what you want.

Also, you may want to pick up a bottle of the Z-6 "Gloss Enhancer" (i.e. Quick Detailer). Just makes more shine and keeps it there when you use it after a quick wash.

 

Thanks man

 

I'd recommend the z8 (or is it z7?) car wash as well. From what I've seen other car wash solutions will work with zaino, but the Zaino car wash does seem to provide a brighter shine on the zaino polish. What I like about Zaino, but what makes it somewhat pricey is that it's a system, so pretty much all of the products are designed to work together, rather than just as stand alone products.

 

What's the best way to get these? Through the web site or a distributer? Is it possible to get them for less than the official order form on the web site directly?

How about shipping? Can we at least save on that by picking it up from somewhere local?

Another question... do I need both Z5 and Z2? I suspect I have some swirls, since I've been letting some place hand wash/dry it for me and I don't know how careful they are. I'd rather not put too many layers on (I'm not THAT enthousiastic and don't have that much time). I intend to do this only once or twice per year (spring and fall).

 

Proo . . . you can not order from the website posted . . . that the US head office site. Prices are pretty standardized - as us distributors are kept to list pricing . .. we excel in service though - and some of us even sell much more thna Zaino - making the car detailers life easier . . .

 

Might want to try IBIZ products/wax. Used by Corvette club of America. Takes spray paint off your finish.

 

I can mail order from www.zaino.ca, right? Or is there somewhere better? I still feel a little daunted by the work and investment; I'm not used to putting anything more on a car than the "wax" that gets sprinkled in the $10 package at the local gas station :P

One of these days when I can manage to find the time, confidence, and find the materials, I will try to clay and coat it. There's so much contradictory information out there... I'm still trying to decide what to do about the parchment leather.

 

I buy all mine from:

www.zainobros.com ?

You really only need Z1 and Z2, get the Z6 for that added bling and slick feel.

I've used the Z5 it really kinda sucks, Meguirs Scratch-X is so much better for swirls and light scratching.

The Zaino clay bar is ok but nothing over the top.

For fine swirls and such, I really prefer a mahine DA polisher like the units offered by Porter Cable. I use to use Mequirs machine polishes but they have become really hard to find at my local stores.

I'm planning on trying www.griotsgarage.com machine polishes next, but the perofrmance of Z2 really has sold me on Zaino as my wax-protectant of choice.

All these sites are great for getting the Porter Cable polisher kits, you can buy lots of stuff at Griot's but they tend to be over priced for many items. But I have found many things from them worth the money.
