Default Zaino

Why do some people list Zaino as a mod to their car? Could someone explain this to me?

I heard that new NXT is worth 7 hp and 3mph in the 1/4.

Well I guess I should list oil changes as a mod also. Since waxing my car is just proper upkeep and so is an oil change.

Takes longer than most mods.....that is awesome..lol

For the record..I have used Zaino and you guys can keep it. I will stick with NXT any day. I would rather wax my car for a hour and drive it for seven then spend eight waxing it.

It's a cleaning and waxing system, and in my opinion it's the best system!

I would not consider Zaino a mod but it does work well for me.

Tried NXT did not last as long as Zaino. Took me the same time to apply as Zaino; however, I will say NXT is good and costs less, and can be found anywhere.

NXT also smells a lot better, and seems to attract an abundance of bugs.
