This is something I've been putting off for far too long - Zaino products.



For those that know me, you'll know I'm a big fan of my wax finishes for an LSP- not expensive waxes, cheaper waxes deliver pretty much just the same (IMHO) with the odd exception (Swissvax Best of Show). They do always seem to add just a tiny bit of warmth to a finish to complement good machine finishing. Thus far, I've found sealents on the whole to be a bit more "cold", very reflective yes, but lacking a little something that waxes just seem to have...



But I've not yet tried what is widely regarded as the ultimate sealent - Zaino. So with my birthday just around the corner, its time to right that wrong... I believe Zaino products are ones which will reward time and effort put into machine finishing, something where I believe the biggest leaps in overall look are made. So from this perspective, Zaino seems like the obvious way to go from here in my quest for the ultimate LSP.



Expensive waxes just don't do it for me - Vintage for example, IMHO, looking not really any better than its much cheaper little brother, Concours. Waxes seem to have hit a rock wall. They can look awsome on well prepped paint, but I'm finding that the cheaper ones look just as awsome as those regarded as the "ultimate".



So - Zaino it is, no messing about as I've gone for an Ultimate-Kit (including leather care products for the hide in my S60). Trialling on scrap will happen first, and then onto my pride and joy in the spring for evaluation in the summer... Can the ultimate sealent turn a died-in-the-wool wax fan to sealents?

Only one way to find out!! I went from wax to Zaino and back to Wax. If you are buying the ultimate kit, be sure to add a bottle of Z-8.



I actually prefer the look of JW over Zaino.

Yep, I did, as wanted to try this out over existing wax LSPs to see if it has any effect also (some say it does have a good effect, so would like to find out :) )
 
It's all in the matter of your eye. Some like the look of Z, others don't. Personally for anything long term it can't be beat. Top it if you will, results will vary, but the shine lasts.
 
I really believe that you will love Zaino. It is the easiest and longest lasting product I have ever used. If there is any drawback to Zaino it would be this. Most of us here at Autopia are fanatical about our cars. We love to wash them, quick detail them, buff, wax, drive, whatever... you get the point. But here's the thing. Zaino is so simple to use and so easy to maintain that there really is no need for constant upkeep and pampering which is exactly what we Autopians love to do. In other words, Zaino almost works too well. Because once you've applied it, you really don't have to do anything but wash it for the next six months. Keep us updated on your findings. Good luck and good choice. :D

Exactly, Patrick.



I always tease Sal about his products "robbing" me of my hobby - detailing and fewer visits from my few cash jobs. ;)
 
Get the Z8 for sure. IMO its the best product that Sal offers. Looking forward to your thoughts. The most important thing with zaino is, "Apply it thin for the win."
