Just ordered



Z1 = $14.95

Z2= $19.95

shipping $14.00



Sub Total $48.90

GST $ 3.42

Total $52.32





Its so much fun living up here ..



And if I order from the US and have it shipped to a US address close to me in Wash state I save $7 and have to drive a 22 mile round trip to get it and still pay GST & PST so the savings is $3 and the gas eats that.

Zaino Food For Thought - Zaino food gives clear, crisp, and bright thoughts and reflections!



Sorry to hear that you have to pay 1.5x what the products themselves are worth!

At least it doesn`t take much product to cover your car. That should take some of the sting out of the purchase price.

Hmm less than a can of Souveran. If I had to, and I`m glad I don`t, I would pay 100 bucks for 2 bottles of Z2pro and ZFX. That would do at least 20 cars or SUV`s, so it would be 5 bucks per detail. After that I would shop for a different polish. You can easily get your money by claying and Zainoing one car, food for thought, I get $150 for Zainoing a car. Extra if I hit the interior or machine polish. Suggestion, talk a neighbor into splitting it next time and detail his/her car and get the ZFX, z6, and another z2. BTW, your job sounds dangerous, what`s a PMS adjuster?

Wanna swap??

no Z1, so:



ZFX - A$53.95

Z2 - A$38.95

Shipping - A$10 at a guess



Total = A$103



Thats roughly US$77 or $100 canadian. You can get it for half the price I do......

It is just as bad in the UK as well. I e-mailed Sal about it, he said it was just too much trouble to ship overseas *shrug* -- I moved onto 4*UPP.

Wow, that`s kinda expensive. But like Scott said, at least it goes a long way. The price that kills me is the Z7. When are they going to start selling bigger containers...geez. There`s a place by me that`s trying to become a distributor. Hope it goes through so I don`t have to pay for the shipping.

I`d like to see how Z7 differs drastically from other car washes or is it the marketing hype and the fear of ruining a Zaino wax job that has people thinking they *must* use Z7 if they are using Zaino ..



BTW I didn`t use Z7 .. nothing fell off.

For the most part, I use Meg`s GC because it`s such a great cheap wash. I only use Z7 when I`m doing Zaino. To me it`s just a really nice wash. It seems a little more slippery to me than GC or NXT :nixweiss

Just a thought- why don`t the UK / Oz /Cn guys get together and organize a group buy on products?

With so few of us up here using Zaino all we would save on is the frieght then we would have to start mailing it around and eat up those costs.

well ya...I think the real problem is that you can`t order it directly from the states, pay USD prices for the products and just pay a little extra to ship overseas. (Maybe $15-30 USD depending on weight).

If you live in New Jersey (as I do) you can`t order Zaino from their website. You have to go one of their distributors. The nearest one to me is a half hour away. Fortunately they keep a good stock of it and sell for only a nickel over the website price. Unfortunately any savings in shipping is offset by the sales tax and cost in gas, not to mention time.



I go down there once a year and stock up.



The Z-7 car wash is a bit expensive but it works great. Smells nice too. :)
