I like it also,car has a great shine. I think its a little pricey,but if done right it does a good job for your car.

I use it, stuff is un-real. Three coats on mine and just gets better and better Water pretty much just bounces off it now. Put it on ur winshield(Z2) and the stuff acts like rain-x as well

Um...YES!

I used to be a Zymol fan until I tried Zaino. Now, I will never use anything else!

Zaino is available from www.zainobros.com or you can e-mail Sal Zaino and find out who is the authorized distributor for your area.

Zaino is awesome! I used Meguiars religiously before I switched to Zaino. Now there is no comparison. And yes, the swirl mark reducer really works. Check out the show and shine forum for more info.

Nothing comes close to holding a candle to zaino!

Check out this picture - I took it after 1 coat of wax. Just try putting on 2 more coats, then spray it down with z6. Man!!!

Click on the link in my sig to see what Zaino did for my car. The link for DJCOBOL gives a nice ¾ shot of the rear of my car. The other link is for some pics I took by a lake. This one is my personal fav though. This is a pic of my car taken in the relfection of my friend Jim's Cougar. And he only had 1 coat of Z5 on at the time.

hold down the ALT key and type in 0190 on the keypad, not the upper row of numbers. Different combos of keys give you different characters. ½, ¼, ™, etc. . .

I have 46 coats of Z2 on my car on top of the countless coats of Z6 and Z5. It is terribly addicting. Any paint with metallic in it is alot easier to see results. My wife's Grand Prix is a metallic green with only 3 coats and looks better than mine.
