Hi guys,
I`ve been using Zaino for a little over two years now. I`ve also used several other sealants and waxes, but I always came back to Zaino because I wanted the longevity it offers.
What`s funny is I pretty much never had to worry about longevity since I detailed my car usually once a month at the very least... more like twice a month usually.
So why I worried about it I don`t know :)
Anyway, I recently got into a biking accident and managed to break both of my arms. Had to have surgery and get pins put in and the whole deal. So needless to say I`ve been out of commission for about two months now.
I haven`t detailed my car in that whole time obviously. I went out the other day after a rain and saw my car for the first time in a long while. I expected the beads to be diminished and the Zaino to be dimished after two months of no washes etc.
Much to my surprise there was pretty much no protection on the car. The water was really not beading at all. And to the touch the paint feels BONE DRY.
After the claims of Zaino lasting for three months, or as much as six months I was very disappointed.
Like I said the car pretty much never went that long without a detail before, so I never really tested the claims.
I guess I`m wondering what`s up? Is the three-month claim for a garaged car only?
I had to move out of state and I do not have a garage right now... soon though :)
Or does Zaino only last that long in climates where it doesn`t rain often? It rains A LOT in Texas.
Thanks for any insight.
For the record I`m still going to stick with Zaino because I love the way it looks and before my accident I never had occasion to worry about the protection because I always kept it up. And once I can detail again I will continue to do that :)
