To my knowledge Zaino is a high quality waxing kit. I've noticed that people with black cars get the best result. This is the same waxing process used on show cars.

SL55 AMG: here’s an interior shot of the pano roof. Excuse the flash photography.

AlBoston: I try to avoid the dealer wash. The parking garage I use downtown has a good wash and wax business. Happy to report their wax job left no swirl marks. The only problem with the garage is that mine was not the first SL55 to be kept there! A silver VIP car beat me by a couple months.

which garage would this be? To me regular waxes don't last long enough in this type of weather, and loose their shine within a matter of days. I really prefer Zaino products because of their incredible shine, and great durability. Check out our black ML.





and my friend's 2001 CL55 AMG with 2 coats of zaino

AlBoston: beautiful shine on the ML! I’ll have to try that product next spring when I’m in a mood to wax the car myself.
