I have yet to use the Zaino product, but I have seen it on a car. It has an excellent shine and feel to it. But to be honest, I didn't notice much difference from Zymol. I've been using Zymol since I've owned a car. When the current bottle that I have runs out, I'll probably purchase some Zaino just out of curiosity. I'd like to see just how long that the shine and protection last. I live near Atlanta and the sun beats down on my car all day so I like to keep a god coat on it. If I find that the Zaino lasts longer, then I'll switch over for good.

A synthetic product (Zaino) will always last longer than a carnauba product (Zymol)

The truth of the matter is Carnauba is a, dark yellow, brittle wax. It
has no durability. It also has no high shine. In reality it's actually a
dull wax. It is not optically perfect and leaves a film (haze) on the
paint finish. If you took two identical colored cars and placed them
side by side. The one with Zaino would be the true color. The other car
would have a slightly different tint to it.
What you are seeing with Carnauba is a combination of carnauba wax,
polyethylene wax, paraffin wax and the key gloss ingredient SILICONE
OIL.

Silicone oil is inexpensive, greasy, smeary, not durable, but shines
like crazy. Just try Pledge furniture polish on your car. Voila same
shine. Hmm. Pledge is loaded with silicone oil, so is Armor All tire
dressing. Did you ever notice how greasy, smeary and dusty, furniture
looks with Pledge on it. How soon does your car get dusty after you
polish/wax with your favorite product????? When does the gloss start to drop???
I already know..Now here's the best part. Silicone oil and other oils are an essential
ingredient of Carnauba based products. It's the only way to achieve a
shine. That's why it's used in all Carnauba based polish/wax. However,
it has no durability, does not last and it attracts dust and dirt like a
magnet and once dust settles on it, it sticks to it. Dust on paint
causes tiny Swirls and Scratches. Also Carnauba is very brittle. It will
not stay on the paint surface for any length of time. Most of the time
less than 3 weeks....... The sun also effects Carnauba based products.
The sunnier and hotter it gets, the faster it deteriorates. Remember wax
melts and oils tend to migrate to the surface and evaporate... Sad but
true.
Fact: On a sunny 80 degree day, the surface temperature of black paint
will reach 149 degrees and go up to 198 degrees if the ambient temp
reaches 90. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what
happens to the wax.
When designing and formulating a polish. These are just a few of the
factors that you want to avoid.
Show Car polish has a wet looking gloss, incredible durability, water
beads like crazy, is not effected by the sun and does not attract dust
or dirt. There are no oils, abrasives or wax in Zaino. Nothing sticks
to Zaino Show Car polish.
I am probably the most **** person when it comes to optically enhanced
paint finishes and protection and polish/wax. I've tested over 300
polish/wax to date. Nothing even comes close to the Zaino system.

Zaino dist. in GA? I thought KevinSS was my closest dude!

 

DANG!!

Talk about digging up an OLD THREAD!

 

$144 bucks for Zymol NSX wax

I will stick with good ol Zaino.

 

LOL...leave it to me to dig up a 2 yr old thread.

I just did a side by side with a friend with a 96 Corvette vs. my 96 Tacoma pickup. His Meguiars vs. my Zaino. Both red. He even admitted mine shined and felt better. We tried the hose test, we gave it a month and tried the hose/feel/shine test. He was impressed, and finally gave in. Bought me a beer and ordered his Zaino

Took me a year to convince his ***

 

I used Zymol in the late 90's. The shine is very nice, but after two weeks, it's gone. Zaino is much better.

 

Kinda of hard to tell which is better in that picture. But I know from personal expirence(my car) that Zaino works the best. The show car polish is amazing.

 

A Zaino dealer just moved into my area, I think I'll have to give him a call.

 

ok, i'm convinced, they did it fair and simple to read.

Do I only need z1 and z2 to get going with this product?
thanks

This is absolutely true. I bought my PT Cruiser new. I ordered it and watched it come down off the truck. I told the dealer not to apply any type of wax to it. I brought the car home, clayed it, then started applying coats of Z2.

I took it to an all PT car cruise at the Quaker steak and lube in Sharon PA. on a beautiful sunny august sunday afternoon. I parked mine between two other PTR's that were the same colro as mine and the difference was OBVIOUS! Almost everyone who talked to me asked about the difference. The difference was about 10 coats of Z2!
I have never used anything else on that car. I also liek the fact that there is zero of that 'white crap', since i get to be a sloppy waxer sometimes.
