Cool

I sometimes use WET. It's a good easy on, easy off "wax" IMO. I'm sure there is better stuff out there but I like this WET stuff because it comes off so easy

Moving to the Show and Shine forum...

You might want to check out this page to see that Zaino is not really higher than most any other kind of car product (Zaino is not a wax and contains no wax) http://www.bariaur.com/e39/zaino.html

All you need is Z-2 which is 12.95 and Z-1 at 8.95 to provide paint protection and shine. 8 ounes of Z-2 will do 12 to 14 coats on an F body, some get more, it is very cost effective.

And, there are several Zaino distributor in Canada, check out the bottom of Sal's order page here: http://www.zainobros.com/files/order.htm

Canadian orders must Email: michadam@rogers.com.for info

You can get the following at just about any Canadian Tire (all of these products I've used with good results):
  • Meg's soft gel car wash
  • Mothers clay
  • Meg's Gold Class wax
  • Meg's quick detailer

Given that with Zaino product a little goes a long way, the price really isn't that bad.

As Kevin said, there are a few Zaino distributors in Canada. Main one is Mike at http://www.car-fanatic.com . Great guy to deal with, takes cc and orders by phone or fax. His web site has an order form with prices in Canadian Peso's if your interested.

Anyone know where us Canucks can get Klasse (Proper Auto Care won't ship to Canada) and I'd really like to give it a try?

I have been using zymol carbon for years and have had excellent results.my friend uses Meguires on his 57 and nothing else.I use the Meguires to clean and polish then the zymol to wax. the price dosent matter as long as you are happy with the results. with the zomol I can get a good 6 waxes out of the container.you can order direct but I have found other places on the web to purchase. when I got my car zymol had a promo on 50% off of your entire order dont know if it is still going.

6 coats from 8 ounces of Zaino? what are polishing, some kind of huge car or truck? I get anywhere from 15 to 20 coats from 8 ounces on my 96 Impala SS and that thing is huge.

If you only get 6 coats on an F body from 8 ounces of Zaino you are using WAAAAAAYYYYYYY too much.

Not sure if they ship to Canada or not either but this is where I got mine before I knew about Proper Auto Care. Their customer service number is 1-800-903-2878. Hope it helps.

Did a search. Found this site that says they ship internationally. Of course they don't say what it will cost you, but you can e-mail and find out. I know nothing about this seller. I'm not endorsing him in any way! Just trying to help so shop at your own risk.
