After my stuff being close to 5 years old. I think its time to look into updating my Zaino products. I think half of it is past its shelf life.

This time around I am going to give Z2 and Z5 pro a shot. Now the question is, is the new Z8 Grand finale worth it? Same with the ZCS. ?

Just looking for some stuff for the G6, its got less then 10k miles on it and I already zainoed it up but got some money in paypal and just got the tax refund, want to give myself a little present.



BTW detailers, anyone find a similar bucket for cheaper, this ting seems pretty cool. I mean don't know if its $30 cool, but seems pretty cool

Looks like a decent product. Remember, in the Detailing world, you really do get what you pay for. I've never tried Zaino products, but I would be willing to. Looks like they've got some easy-to-use products that would be ideal for the DIY'er.

The Z8 spray gives a little more "pop" than Z6, however at $20/bottle you'll have to decide if it's really worth it. I use Z6 exclusively. I have also never used Z-CS; from what I've read it sounds like it creates a "laminate" look to the paint, which I'm not really sure that I'd like. But a lot of other people do, so again, it's up to you.
You can get that same type bucket at Advance Auto, AutoZone, etc., minus the lid, for a lot less. Pick up a Grit Guard and call it a day.

Thing I liked was the screw lid not sure if it will help, but maybe help a little in maintaining products since its probably close to airtight.

I was also reading the Z8 can be diluted with water, and obviously the whole "thinner is better "thing.

I've been watering down Z6 on the advise of someone else on here and finding that it didn't seem to hurt.

I have some Z8. Puts a really nice sparkle on top of a coat of Z2.

I'm a Menzerna/Wolfgang/Souveran/Tropi-Care fan myself. Zaino has good stuff but I think there are better choices.

Zaino isn't easy to use, nor is it worth the money and time IMO...
I'll admit though, I'm a Zaino hater mainly because of all the hype it gets for no real reason.
IMO you can buy way better stuff thats easier to use at half the cost. And yes, I have tried Zaino, and its not that bad, but just not worth it and I didn't get that super long protection that everyone claims it gives. It gave after about 3 months.
