Zaino - anyone?

I have only put Meguires NXT on mine since I got it painted. I am very happy with the way it works. Goes on easy. I usually let it set over night and take it off in the morning. Comes off just as easy as it went on. So far so good in my opinion. I have never used Zainos mostly because it cost so much and it is not available locally. That is my main grief with Zaino.

I gave up on zaino because no one sells it locally here and when I run out it's always right after I've done half the car.
I switched to Eagle One Nano Tech before I tried NXT and I love both.

Questions: Do you guys use it on your C3s? Is it good only on excellent (new& fresh) paint, or would it do wonders when applied on not-so-perfect paint surface. Any great before and after pictures?

zaino
didn't know there was a cult of zaino people but i can attest to the superiority of this product. i've used on my pick up, my wifes volvo and my 71 bb. though the first time you use it there is a lotta steps. it is well worth it. i don't even use soap anymore to clean my vehicles and people constantly come up to me and ask what i use, so there must be a difference. the thing you'll use most is the z6 gloss enhancer. that is one gorgeous black vette there...

I feel real bad. I wax mine about once a year. Can't remember what I used. It really needs a wash and wax right now. I concentrate more on the performance than looks. I like it to look good but I'd rather be wrenching than waxing.

I found a better wax although its 600 dollars a case. its the stuff that they use on new cars that cost 100 bucks for them to do it. i got it for free because this guy i know was moving to a new delaer ship and he took a whole case and gave it some to every one.it takes swirl marks out of black and last a long time. my digigtal camera is broke other wise i whould take pictures.

i know my car needs a new paint job, but i just have more pressing issues to worry about on the car then new paint.
what would be the best thing for me to do to get a shine out of whats left of this 20+ year old paint?
i do have some platinum series turtle wax sitting down here in the basement i just got. i havnt tried it yet, but i would think its gotta help some.

Oh, it works........don't let them kid you. You polish maybe 2 times a year.........you do the math. Cost is minimal per application.
Zaino..........below.........
It's tough to get a white car to shine well. Zaino works, and it's worth every penny. Way to many folks are happy with it, if you bother to notice. Give it a try.
