My Zaino opinion

[Ray66]

Zaino is the best stuff out there....... I did my own little test with Meg's vs the Z and the Z won. Consider this..... when was the last time you had a question for the owner of successful private company? When was the last time you called the owner and HE answered the phone? Not some ditzy blond secretary or some 20 year old college student! Try calling Meguiar's tomorrow and see if Barry answers the phone. Barry and his family of 10-something brothers are too busy kissing ass in Hollywood or fixing their makeup to go on "Car Crazy". Meguair's is JOKE. That family is living off the old days....... buy from a private guy who works everyday...... answers his OWN phone! Or you can buy from ol' Barry and help him buy more makeup for his TV show. The answer is clear so do the right thing and buy the Z stuff! Better yet, try this...... call Meguiare's tomorrow and ask to speak to "Barry". Tell them your a long time consumer and you have an extremely detailed question for Barry only. Do you really think Barry Meguiare will return your call? Now call Zaino and ask Sal your question!!!!!!! Not only do I like Zaino the product but even more so I like Sal Zaino the man. He always has time for me whenever I call him. He answers my questions patiently and thouroghly. It appears Sal chooses to keep his company small and private so he can keep it the way HE WANTS it and that means the product stays top-notch for the consumer. Meg's is made in a factory in the hills outside of Chattanooga, Tennesee and do you think ol' Barry goes to Chattanooga? Puleeese........ Disclaimer- I am in no way whatsoever receiving any kickbacks, allocated monies, bonuses, cash, checks, money orders, cashier checks, free stuff- of any shape or form, preferential treatment from Sal or ANY of his distributors for this post The above is completely 100% my opinion, not a fact so take it as that!

I think it is completely unfair that you compare two companies like that.

Both companies are reputable and put out some great products. They also deal with customer service in different ways. Meguiars is a huge company, not only do they have many different retailers carrying their products but they also deal with many major (mercedes being one) car companies. Meguiars does bussiness on a much larger scale than Zaino. Zaino is also a great company and obviously much smaller. It is because of its smaller consumer base that allows the owner to speak and help the customer directly.

now I must admit I do not like Meguiars customer service at all. I felt it was rushed and extremely uninformative. But once companies become big it's bound to happen. It'll probabl happen to Zaino too one day

But I do like supporting the smaller companies, and Zaino is definately one to support.

actually, for me, the fact that sal zaino personally answered my emails and phone calls were a negative. sort of gave me the impression of not-so-professional company.

but, the product is good so i have no complaints. i now deal w/ the local dealer b/c he takes paypal.
