On budget.. pick out the zaino products

K want my car to shine...


I think i can save some money and pick up a clay bar at autozone or something. I already have a Meguiers but guys at zaino said that particular one sucks...

Can i get away with using Meguiers spray detailer with a clay bar from autozone to clean the car after dish soap wash....
Then use ZFX and Z-2 using Zainos applicator..
I'd also use Zainos car wash...

What do u think about the spray gloss? Can i get away with using meguiers spray gloss instead?

The car already shines really nice... but i want more. At the same time im spending about 2000 on heads and other stuff.... so theres not a lot of room left for zaino...
Sounds like a plan? Suggestions?

I've noticed the Meguiar's detail spray leaves streaks on Zaino. I'd get the Zaino Z6, Z7, and Z2 or Z5. Clay Magic is good and available at Autozone.

Add ZFX to Moparmans list, otherwise you won't have fun with Z2 or Z5.

Zaino is designed to be used as a system. For the best results I'd use the Zaino products. The clay bar is about the same cost, but you get 2 bars of clay with the Zaino Z-18.

Get, Z-2 or Z-5, Z-6, Z-7, Z-18 and ZFX. You won't be sorry.

Just save up and buy the kit. After talking to Sal and doing my own testing, I've come to notice that the products all compliment each other nicely and are designed to work together.

It lasts so long you won't regret it.

Kevin brings up a great point. Why "Mix and Match" instead of sticking with one line of products?

I believe you'll get superior results by sticking ot one product line whose products are engineered to work together, like Zaino.

No, NEVER buy your car towels at auto parts stores...

Sure... they may... but they are a potential cause for hairline scratching too...
