How long does zaino last?

Good Guys Detailing · 10-14-2009, 06:36 PM

I operate a detailing business and was thinking about giving zaino a try. Does anyone know how long it lasts on a car? does it last as long as lets say jetseal? any pro or cons of zaino? and lastly zaino vs. chemical guys?

Zaino outlasts Jetseal easily! You may even want to think about Opti-Seal which also last as long but even easier to apply.

I can get 4-6 moths out of Z2 or Z5 and a little go a long way. Make sure you buy the ZFX Accelator stuff so you can do multiple layers in a day.

How about as compared to Klasse SG? I am a long time Klasse user and love it!!

Last as long as Klasse but you can do multiple coats in one day. With Klasse you have to wait for curing

IMHO Zaino is more of a "prosumer" type product....I use it on my personal vehicles but for the other cars I detail and correct, I use "traditional" type polishes, seals and waxes because the end user will continue using these type products...Zaino does not allow other products to bond to it...

Zaino protection seems to last close to 6 months. I'm a fan of it. Like most sealants, it has a "candy coating" sealant look to it that some people don't like -- as opposed to a "deep wet" look from a carnauba. But IMO, after a good clay and polish, it's tough to beat Zaino as a protectant. Not many fillers and maintains good shine and water repellent for a long time.

I see, but can't you wax over zaino to get that deep wet look? or does it not bond?

I have used Pinnacle Souveran over Zaino to give it a deep warm glow. Most waxes generally don't last long anyway, so bonding really isn't an issue.

Not to over sate the obvious, you may want to consider what car wash solution/shampoo is being used to wash the car routinely.As this impacts the longevity of any product applied.
I am yet to use opti seal but being the creature of habbit that I am I love Zaino.
