Possibly, but I am pretty sure it was paste wax in a can. Perhaps Simonize. I am so glad to see that the two of you made up!

[QUOTE=zdeckich;1587848004]Im not saying Zaino is bad but, I have been to many detailing schools in my time and know the proper way to detail a car, and as a former chemist, I can guarantee you there is better polish's, wax's etc than Zaino.

Where is the reflectiveness, where is the optical clarity, where is that wet look we all get with Zaino.. personally I would be embarrassed to post a picture like this and them brag about knowing something about auto finishes.
BTW this is your picture not mine.

I guess if you think this is a primer or flat red you might need to get glasses, also none of my photos have any kind of effect. Again its yur opinion vs mine. To me in real life and that pic looks like its wet and have a great reflectiveness and clarity to me.

I knew you were makin' fun, just wanted to know what the rest of your story was, being a noob, I haven't heard your testimonial before. I never thought you were being a Richard Cranium about it!!. Your car does look fantastic, and I gotta say, after a tew coats mine looks as good as it ever has. I am a Zaino convert for sure. Gotta go... wax car...

I got a Gift certificate from Zaino for saying nice things about them.
