How great is Zaino?!!!

I'm truly amazed at the results of this stuff. My hood was severely damaged with scratches, swirls, and other for lack of a better word crap. I got the ZFX, Z2, Z5 & Z8. Only used one coat of the ZFX with the Z5. After buffing it out, I sprayed some Z8 on and polished. The result......WOW! I mean WOW WOW WOW. My girl took our camera with her so I can't really take pics but WOW. Did I mention WOW? It's a 98' so the car is 7 years old and the paint looks SOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD! As good as it did when I first picked her up! This is with one ONE coat!!! I'm gonna give it one more coat of the Z5 to get rid of the remaining little scratches/swirls then I'm gonna use the Z2. I hear the Z2 is even better! Anyways, just wanted to share my happiness.

Thrill: You can only get it from www.zainostore.com from what I know. Trust me when I tell you that it will be well worth the investment. I didn't even use a electric buffer. Just the applicator and a lint free 100% cotton towel and my hand!

you won't be dissappointed. If I'm not mistaken, you have a black car. Get the Z8 instead of Z6. The gloss from the stuff is UNREAL! If you don't have any swirls or scratches, then don't get the Z5. Just go with the Z2. You need the ZFX no matter what so what you should get is:

ZFX
Z2
Z8

(Z5 optional, if you have swirls and scratches)

Thats right, you're the silver with the projectors. I was thinking of BlackBenz...my bad. Z6 will be fine for you then. Z8 was designed more for black and darker cars to eliminate swirls.


P.S. Any word on your kit? I know you've been waiting on it.

Ya, Zaino and some more higher abrasive compounds really helped my paint alot, i'm way overdue for a repolish. Its hard to beat it within 3 months of application though.

The ZFX you HAVE TO GET

Z5 - is a wax for both clear and non-clear coated cars. It helps eliminate swirls and small scratches

Z2 - is just a wax for Clear coat cars. It does not have the ability to remove the swirls and scratches that the Z5 does but if optically glossier. (from what I hear, I can't imagine it being any glossier than it is right now, but I guess I'll see when I use it)

Z8 - is a spray you use after you buff out the polish. It puts an even shinnier gloss on the car and it also helps keep the glossiness inbetween car washes longer. You can also use this stuff alone, after a car wash w/o wax, to give it the gloss (obviously you're not gonna wax your car everytime you wash it)

If you're not sure just get the ZFX and Z5, but I definitely recommend the Z8. I waxed my car yesterday, today I went outside and put my styrofoam cup on top of the car for a second. It started to slide all over the place. Mind you, before yesterday, if you ran your finger across the same part of the car, it felt like dulled sand paper.

P.S. Don't forget the applicator. I bought 1, but they give you a free one if you order over $50.

I was reading the directions on how to use the ZFX. That sh*t looks really complicated. Is it?
