Zaino alternative...$17.95 a can

I'm still getting used to the ol camera, but it's a start. Will take a few more pics in daylight tomorrow.

Liquid Glass after Dawn wash only, no clay, no Z, nothing. Took 1.5 hours from start to finish, comes off super easy.

Can't you use it in the sun also? I didn't like it when I tried it, left streaks plus a sterile shine.

WAX

This happens when there is still wax on the car. Polymers need a super clean surface to bond to(same with the Zaino). But, I have seen the streaking before, just need to take a bit more time cleaning her off. Sometimes it takes a wash or two to get at it, maybe even some wax remover.

And yes, they actually tell you to bake it in the sun(unlike wax).

Once your done applying & toweling off the application, I usually follow up with a damp towel & then a dry towel rebuff(by hand or machine sometimes).

This is my black 01...paint isn't too hot since I bought it used. BUT... Liquid Glass & dark colors go well. These pics are in the garage, similar background to the silver Cl. Look in the 2nd pic, you can see my ladder & a bag of freakin Scotts...HAHAHA!!! 3rd pic is the hood.

Wish the camera had better resolution, you'd see how nice it really looks.

Just trying to let you guys know, there is a damn good alternative to the expensive Zaino. Very easy to apply &&& remove.

i used to use that stuff. I found the 9 bottle of Zymol went on easier and gave a better shine.

Liquid Glass Enterprises, Inc.
P.O. Box 1170
Teaneck, New Jersey 07666

I used LG on my M3 last July, and the shine stood up for the past 11 months. However, recently Dawn'd twice to get 5 years of Zymol/Carnuba and the LG off, and put on 2x Z5 and 5x Z2, and the car never looked better. LG is good, Zaino is good, but obviously a bit pricier.
