Talking Think I'll Try It!

I have heard all the reviews that Zaino has gotten,and I have decided to give it a shot. I am going to get the Kit,which I see has everything that I need. Do i need the Polish Lok? I see that it's not listed as one of the products in the kit. And how is the wheel dressing? Figure I will give it a try also. Thanks One more thing,when i hear using dawn to remove the old wax, i get the picture of a car that didn't have clear coat to begin with,you know the paint where you can wipe it off.That makes me kinda cringe. I figure that just the wax is removed,just no protection for the clear coat.Until i Zaino.

You do not need Polish Lok if ZFX is included in the kit.

Good luck! You will become addicted to adding layers of polish to your car

As for the Tire Dressing, I love. it. Just tried it for the first tim ea few months ago... no slinging at all! It is not super super glossy though, so if that is what you are looking for, you may want to try something else. It is more of a 'satin' finish.

No, the kit comes with the one step activator, the ZFX. Don't forget to get to get proper towels, without them the Zaino will not help and wash with an all cotton wash mit, do not use a sponge.

And how is the wheel dressing?

I guess you mean Tire Dressing, the Z-16, no silicone, does not sling off, and has a low sheen, not a high gloss product.

One more thing,when i hear using dawn to remove the old wax, i get the picture of a car that didn't have clear coat to begin with,you know the paint where you can wipe it off.That makes me kinda cringe. I figure that just the wax is removed,just no protection for the clear coat.

I do not understand that question.... If a car does not have clear coat it is painted with a single stage paint that already has UV inhibitors built in and does not need a clear coat.....

So true, especially now that the car is off the road sitting in the garage. Six new winter coats so far and counting, I'm a zainoholic.

If I even tried to count, I'd pass out. Maybe I'll do more today
