I've never used a synthetic polish/wax before, I've always used carnauba wax and I'm a little afraid of using Zaino on my newly painted show truck. Has anyone ever had a bad experience from Zaino (I'm thinking long term affects, does it do anything negative to your paint?) Everything I've read sounds great, having no abrasives, layering capability, paint protection w/ UV, etc. I just don't want to find out that it causes paint to change color or something years down the road...Is anything like this possible with a polish like this?

 

The most common problem beginners have with Zaino is using to much. Less is more with Zaino. Experienced users also have a problem: they keep putting more and more coats on.

I have never heard of Zaino doing any damage to any auto paint.

 

I also have never seen anything bad happen from using Zaino...

It really is the best product available.

Why not try it on another car first, rather than your show truck, to get a feel for it first?

 

ZAINO

 

I'm sure a hater will chime in here and say his clear coat or something fell off, but I've used it for 3 years, and my 8 year old truck looks better than half the friggin Vette's in this city.

Well, at least the shine does

 

You can't screw up using zaino unless you are deaf, dumb and blind. Zaino is voted the best on every board I've seen. Oh, but that Carnuba wax can screw up your car. After awhile and lots of coats your car can start to look a little yellow on the finish from that wax. Why would you be afraid to try the best and it says show car polish right on the bottle. I'd be more afraid to use carnuba wax on my ride. I'm just another zainoholic who's tried them all so what do I know?

 

This is my show car, used Zaino on it since 1997:

Make sure you wait a good half hour after eating before you go swimming in that paint!!

 

That's an awesome shine Kevin, how many coats of the good stuff?

 

I have never been a coat counter, between shows and using the car to do demos on I never thought about counting...

 

Show off

 

I have to say Darth xed hit the nail on the head! dont drownd in the paint love that go for it u won't be diss. zaino

 

There is a reason Zaino is the hands down favorite on many, MANY message boards.

 

If you aren't going to buy it for the shine factor, then just buy if for the protection. I've had my car stored outside since August 30th, and water still beads up on it.

Now if only there was a way to protect from dirt on a white car

 

The only issue I've had with Zaino is that it's a biiiig PITA to remove with microfiber towels. I could have sworn people told me microfiber is great for removing wax. I thought something was wrong with the zaino... I was seriously having to scrub with all my strength in one spot for 30-40 seconds to get it off... until I tried a regular cotton towel and it came off just as easy as always.

I'm not sure if that's just something with Zaino, or if you're not supposed to use microfiber to remove any wax. But the solution to that one was simple... just use cotton towels like I've always done in the past with Zaino.

Oh, and I've been using Zaino for 5 + years now. I used to run a detailing business with it and now I just use it on my personal cars and have recommended it to countless other friends of mine. So far there have been absolutely zero issues with it other than people developing a distinct additiction for it.
