Ok so i searched and all i ever hear about is Zaino but i wanted to get everyones opinion because by searching it just woulnd't be the same............. ever since i got my car i would wash it frequently and use meguiars quick detailer.............i waxed a couple times but not too often and since i was only 16 when i got my car, i didn't know about quality products............the pictures that everyone puts up of there cars after using zaino is breath taking......but how exactly do i do it? i visited the website and they have A LOT of products...............do you use the clay bar, the wash, spray shine enhancer, the all in one? i basically just want the shine so if i wash it could i just use the spray shine enhancer? i'm confused.........another thing, do i order it from the website or can i pick it up at a local store like Kragen? any opinions would help. Thanks a lot guys

1. Basically, you are limited to web orders from the Zaino site or you could order by phone from LaZaino. You are not likely to find Zaino in a local auto part store. I would suggest you consider the "Total Show Car Protection Kit" which bundles all the basics for $84.70.

2. The instructions may seem intimidating, but its not that hard really. If you write down detailed instructions for common household tasks, they seem really complicated too.

3. A full treatment would be something like this:

Wash with Dawn (this is a 1-time thing, to remove the residue of other products from your car).

Clay (not something you have to do, but it removes contaminates from your surface. A little of the Z7 wash mixed in a spray bottle makes a great lubricant, btw.)


Wash with Z7 wash

Apply Z5. * with ZFX mixed in it dries faster, so application takes less time

Apply Z2. * if you are doing multiple coats, its a big help.

3. Z-6 or alternately Z-8 are the quick detailer products in the Zaino line. Zaino recommends a coat of Z6 in between layers of Z5 and Z2. I like to spriitz my applicator with Z6 when I'm applying the products. Z8 is more expensive, so I only use it as a atopper and to maintain my finish in between my polishing sessions.

4. The all-in-one is an alternative to Z5 & Z2. It can be used just by itself, as a base coat for Z5/Z2, or topped with the clear seal product.

5. The mantra to repeat with Zaino is THIN coats -- 1 oz. of product~about 1/2 of the little mixing bottles you get with ZFX should do at least one complete complete oin a car our size.

6. Just using a quick detailer is not enough to get the results you want, at least not that will last for more than a day. A good wax or sealant will protect and enhance your car's finish for weeks or months.

IMO, one disadvatage image of Zaino is their vast amount of products which can really be overwhelming for a beginner. Even with the all in one package, you still have a bunch of bottles with a bunch of labels. No offense to Zaino but I wish there was a better way to market their product for beginners. The overwhelming part is when you start hearing folks throw out these labels and for a beginner, it can really be scary because they think if they dont apply things in a certain order, they might not get the optimal result or they could damage their car's surface.
