Default Zaino Brothers wax

I tried this stuff for the first time this weekend. I claybared the car and used (3) coats of Zaino. I used to use Zymol which is really good, but this Zaino is probably the wettest, shiniest polish I have ever used. It was really easy to apply and wipe off and smells good to boot. One bottle did (3) coats and there's still enough left for 1-2 more coats. I think I'm hooked! This was also the first time I clay barred a car. Once I learned how it was real easy. All the reviews were right, this leaves your car as slick as it can be. :hurray: :hurray: :hurray:

I think you may be using too much. You should go hang out in the car care section for a while. When I do my car 2 ounces is enough for 3 coats and I still have some left over. With Zaino the less you put on the better. If you're using most of a bottle you are putting it on way too thick and wasting most of it.

It is a clay bar and is used after washing and before waxing. It picks up the dirt and particles that get lodged into the paint/clearcoat. It can really do wonders to a car that has never been "bar'd" before. I do it about twice a year.

That Zaino stuff ROCKS! :thumbs: I used it for the first time last year and it made a heck of a difference. SOrt of addicting .... they say the more coats the deeper and wetter the shine. I would recommend it to anyone.

I bought mine thru the Cobra forum. I think you can also buy it thru Eckler's. Any Zaino distributors here on the forum???

You can get it on line at zainobros.com. Follow the directions and it works great. The darker the paint color the better it looks.
But what do you use on a white car to make it look good?

No stores cary it. You can either get it right form Zaino or a local distributer. I think Zaino can help you locate the local distributer if there is one in your area. The stuff is great.

I love this stuff. Been using it on the '69 for a year now. Very shiny.

Eckler's carries the full Zaino line. You can buy direct from Zaino, but if you like to charge it, the Zaino site can't handle it. Make sure you read the Zaino site to pick the right products for your particular paint. As for clay bars those can be obtained at most auto stores now (Mother's, Meguirs, etc.), though be aware that different brands can be of different grit. I have tried both the Mother's bar and the Zaino bar, and the Zaino worked much smoother. The Zaino isn't much more expensive because you get (2) bars in a resealable can. The others come as one bar in cellophane. I have never gotten a finish so smooth. This clay bar thing works! :hurray: :hurray: :hurray:
