Zaino vs AIO/SG/Souveran Quick Question

chris57 · 01-27-03, 08:00

I have been using Zaino for a number of years. I have only used it on brand-new black cars that had excellent paint to begin with.

I now have a light blue car that has a non-clearcoat paint. It is about 15 years old and in fair shape. It could be lacquer or enamel, I don't know how to tell.

The car looks like it has some wetsanding scratches under the paint (wasn't prepped right, I guess). You have to turn your head the right way and there aren't that many of them. The paint also has a lot of spider-webs on top which I am attempting to remove.

I've read where Zaino may highlight the imperfections in the paint. Would AIO, SG and Souveran be better than Zaino in this case?

I still need help on choosing a topper. For a light blue car with older paint, which one would be better? Souvern, PPG, P21S?

I would choose P21S over the Pinnacle waxes. P21S looks better that PPG and at least as good as Souveran. PPG gives a glow that Souveran and P21S don't seem to give my cars, but the reflection and the wet look are well worth it and gives P21S the edge. Plus its cheaper than both those Pinnacle waxes.

I've seen Zaino look pretty nice on light colored cars. I haven't ever used it myself so I can't say how it compares. I do know that Klasse with a carnauba topper is really nice on light colored cars. Something you might want to consider would be Klasse with Blackfire or Platinum topping it. That looks awesome as well. Since I started doing cars with AIO and UPP I rarely use SG anymore. Sometimes I'll layer it with UPP, but that's about it. It just looks great.

One other wax you may want to consider for your light blue car is Liquid Souveran. That is one liquid wax I'll always keep a supply of. It looks awesome. It gives my white car a reflection clarity that neither Souveran or P21S has ever given it. Very nice stuff.
