Yes Sal sold his yellow Z06 to a friend, knowing Sal he will not be without a Vette for long.

The misinformation continues...

As stated, seeing Sal is like seeing Santa Clause....

When Chuck Norris goes to sleep, he looks under the pillow for Sal Zaino.

Legend has it, when these to faced off, the world almost stopped. Sal had slyly coated the area with 14 layers of Z5pro (zfx'd with a Z6 wipedown between layers). When Chuck went to launch a flying double roundhouse, he slipped on the floor.

Quickly, Sal moved in for the kill, spraying Clear Seal into Chuck's eyes. Unfortunately, Clear Seal is optically clear, and only enhanced Chuck's vision. As Chuck stood back up, the sun broke out of the clouds...

Sal was quick on his feet, and quickly applied a couple coats of the competitors carnuaba wax on over Chuck. As the heat quickly raised, the carnuaba became slick as it didn't have the durablity. Chuck began to melt! Once again, confinding the experts, Sal gave himself a Z2pro layer with a Z8 Grand Finale final wipe.

Sal now had so much gloss that Chuck couldn't see him (like staring at a flash light) and it further weakened the melting Chuck. Sal was impervious the conditions and has a solid sixth months of durablity.

Chuck retreated for now, but rumor is he is taking baths in Ultima for the next showdown...

I prefer Z8, because it is a little slicker and adds gloss....

I haven't but my partner in the distributorship here in Nebraska met him before my partner retired while on a business trip to the NJ/PA area.

I was given the highlights afterward.

They both hit it off both being involved with cars for years. They met at a bar and drank sodas (Sal paid). Sal asks me about my partner just about every time I call him.

If he ever makes it this far west, I'd like to return the favor. A lot of my customers would like to thank him personally for indirectly making their cars look the best they can.

You really need to start by claying the area to get off the bonded contaminants then go with Z5 or Z2 (ZFX added) to get a real good layer of slickness, then things don't seem to stick as bad and you can just maintain it with Z6 or Z8......

that's just sick.

Again...A very suspicious sighting of the figure representing Sal Zaino. Was your partner perhaps a woman? Toe tapping involved? I think not.

you'll never see Sal again, contrary to what you may think, he did NOT make his fortune in car care products, he made it by investing in US cottom towel makers and Dawn dish soap, and now splits time between his mountaintop home in the Andes and the island he bought in the Pacific Ocean.
