Once you've used the Zaino line of products, you won't look back.

I looked back and now use 3D waterless car wash for two reasons:

1. Water is scarce and expensive, here in southern Cali

2. It takes me 1/4 the time to clean and wax my cars - spray on, buff off, done.

The nice shine doesn't need to last months, since it takes me only 10 minutes to reapply.
Maybe it's because I am quite a bit older than when I bought my car, but my time is now more valuable, especially with multiple cars to take care of.

I read the first thing he did after buying it was remove the BSMs!

I've used both and I disagree. Both give a good shine, but Zaino lasts a LOT longer.

I agree..

If I lived in the southern states then I would consider it.. but the 2000 miles a year and 5 washes my car seen each year the cheaper stuff lasts all year.

I guess i'm just the opposite. I don't really care about how long it lasts.I'm like you. I usually only wax vette once a year (1500 mi. a year. ) I just couldn't believe the difference with Zaino's compared with all the other products i've used over the years.

I bought zaino years ago and used it when I first got my 07 350z .. Tire dressing and leather conditioner is awesome

Doing a car took too long and stuff has been in the boxes since

Has anyone used the Chadwick's triple play and zaino? Curious to how Chadwick's is bc it looks a whole lot easier and faster to do a car vs zaino
