I HATE ZAINO

Do you want to know what zaino did to my car? It made my s550 look so nice and shiny that now i'm afraid to take it out of the garage and get it dirty. I'm even afraid of opening my garage door cause its really windy right now and lots of dirt could fly in. What should i do? Do you guys think i should saran wrap the whole entire car before i go somewhere?

If you are going to use both Z5pro and Z2pro, use Z5pro first then follow with Z2pro.

Also Z8 is very nice.

I betcha that after you use zaino for the first time you would end up throwing away all your meguires, mothers, turtle wax, and whatever else you have on your shelf away. That's what i did, i threw whatever i had on the shelf away, including some almost full bottle of meguires.

you drive an s550 and all you have is a camera phone? hahah man im just pullin your tail here.

Did you really throw out the Meguiars stuff? you shoulda made a post or something. I coulda bought it off you.

Zaino is good stuff. Not the best but its up there. My friend is a Zaino freak and he drives his car only for 2 months during the whole year so for that I laugh at him.

Carnauba wax is almost any typical "wax" you can find on the market today. I find carnauba obsolete IMO, because the durability is so **** poor, and many polymer sealants give the same look with 5-10 times the durability or more.
