Another Zaino Convert
After 40 years of trying every polish and wax i could find i finally broke down and ordered Zaino Show Kit. Did the whole treatment.Wash with blue Dawn, and Clay bar Saturday. Applied 3 coats of Zainos today. Unbelievable results and so much easier than i'd heard it would be.I made mistake of mixing up 2 ounces of polish.1 ounce probably would have been enough for my vette. Initial outlay hurts, but this stuff is going to last a long,long time. I've never had results like this. My Pewter Gray 03 vette really came to life. I hope this stuff made Sal Zaino a wealthy man ,because he's got one hell of a product.

I am a Zaino user also and I was surprised how little it takes.
I do mine by hand also, Very easy to use.

Zaino fan here as well. I used it on my '89 metallic red coupe and now use it on my black '02 Z06. Nothing else seems to make the finish on my cars pop like Zaino polishes. I polish by hand.

I too have tried many many products on my daily driver over the years. Nothing has compared to Zaino that I have found.

Can someone provide a high-level overview of the various Zaino numerical products and which ones need to be used from Dawn wash to final seal?
I also have a Spiral Gray Metallic paint, so I'm hoping the OP decides to post some pics.

The Adam's Metal Polish #1 and #2 are second to none I have found.
I also use the Adam's detail spray because in my opinion it is VERY similar to the Zaino Detail spray. The Adam's detail spray is just a lot less expensive. I buy it by the Gallon.

Never tried the Zaino line of products, but they sure get a lot of positive reviews.
I use a combination of Adam's Polishes stuff and Turtle Wax Ice wax on my car. So far I have been happy, but may have to try some Zaino at some point.

Me too! I'm happy with the Adams products, however I have used the Zaino Z8 Grand Finale Spray Seal and the Zaino Z10 leather conditioner and like both of the products.

It has certainly made him quite wealthy (as is evident in the hardware he brought to the show) ... I Met him at a show last year and he seems like a really great guy. He showed up in this at first:
