Zaino AIO is a one step product. Don't be turned off by multiple steps. In the case of Zaino, you can do the first 2 steps and then use sprays for 6 months.

I've used Liquid glass for years. I've tried so many others, but always go back to good old LG. Can't beat it.

Default Dri-wash

Lots of great waxes out there...Zaino, MaGuires, Adams. The best product I have found for easy clean up and shine between washes (Corvettes hate water) is called Dri-wash. It is incredible. All you do is dust your car, wipe it on, and wipe it off. Amazing shine.

I used LG for almost 10 years and was stuck on it for a long time. I read so many people on here raving about Zaino. I decided to give it a try (this was back in 2003).

I first tried this on my daily driver one evening in my garage. A bright Red 2001 Dakota R/T 360ci. It went on super easy, and i was really impressed how it came off. It was MUCH easier taking off after it dried compared to LG. None of that white powder residue from Zaino. LG had a white powder residue when removed. I also noticed that I did not have to rub nearly as hard to get the "shadows" off like I used to with the LG. By shadows I mean the swipe marks I made in the paint when applying it. Hard to describe. Anyways... I took all the Zaino off my truck, and closed the garage door. I moved it into the sun the next day to take a closer look and I was shocked how it made my red paint "pop". My wife came outside for something and she noticed it right away and asked what I did to the truck. My wife does not notice anything about car's, so for her to notice it told me for sure there was a big difference. It was not just in my head....

From then till now I'm stuck on Zaino. I will be stuck on Zaino until something comes out that is better.

Here are a couple pics just before I sold it. It was 6 years old in the pictures when I sold it. 6 years of red paint taking a BEATING in the hot Texas sun... It still shined like it was new..
