I use the Zaino system on my car and when I get a spot or two I just hit the spot with the swirl mark remover and then go back to the gloss enhancer. When I get bugs, I know this might be overkill, but I use some spray detailer and a chunk of clay bar and the bugs are gone in a heartbeat. After the initial base is layed down, it is real easy to hit it with the gloss enhancer and grand finale which takes me about 30 minutes. Hope this helps.

 

Zaino basically acts as a sealant and will make the car much easier to clean. Bugs and other junk will have a hard time sticking to the treated surface so you most likely won't need to be rough or use harsh chemicals to clean the car. Get a good car wash shampoo, such as Adams, and a quality wash mitt and you'll be surprised how easy it is to wash the car after its treated. 9 out of 10 times, you can gently glide contaminants off of the surface with the wash mitt. If you do get tar that you can't remove, get a can of stoners tarminator and let it dissolve the tar without scrubbing. Then reapply your sealant, if necessary for that area.

 

I totally forgot about the claybar... duh. I would definitely try that next time before going to the harsh chemicals. It's possible the claybar will remove the gunk and leave your protective finish in tact. The other thing people have said to try is a warm towel draped over the area. It will help loosen the bugs up. Too late for that now, but maybe next time.

 

Like everything else in life, it comes down to personal choice.
I have been using turtle wax on my vehicles since I was a teenager, and that is many, many years ago.
It is all in the prep, and when done correctly, any wax will give good results.
I would put the shine, and protection on any one of my vehicles, up against any thing done with what I call the over priced "designer" waxes and polishes.
If the finish is prepped correctly, the end result is a deep, glossy, clear as a mirror finish.

First, I'm by far no expert. I wanted easy and good results. Was a little afraid at first but tried doing the clay bar (Pinnacle Ultra Clay Poly) figuring the worst I could do was scratch it up and would need to have a pro buff/polish it but had no problems. Then applied P21S 100% Carnuba wax. Went on and off fast and easy with no white residue on the trim. really pleased with the depth of shine and so far 10+ washings is lasting. Stuck on bugs wash right off with no bug and tar remover needed.

 

I bought a big bottle of Chadwicks... I used it for about a month and now the full bottle just sits. I wasn't impressed. It might be fine for garage queens, but in the real world, I needed something tougher that attracted less dust.

I use Zaino instead. But I don't go in for the whole process. I use the polish, quick sealant, and detail spray. Zaino offers a much better shine, a smooth silky surface, and it makes things easy to wipe off with the detail spray (which does have UV inhibitors).

Zaino C-ZS quick seal. Wipe on and walk away, use very little. Same shine as the opti-coat, but the finish feels nice and slick, unlike the opti-coat gloss sealant and no need to wipe off. It's so easy I do it once a week. takes a total of 10 minutes or so after a wash. I'll probably never have a chance to find out how long it really lasts since it's so easy to apply.

I no longer clay-bar. I use a nano-skin once a year and Iron X prior to the Nano skin.

I don't even bother with waxes anymore because it gets so hot here in the summer (especially this summer) that it would melt right off the paint within a week.

If I used all of Zaino's step-by-step products, I'd be divorced. Takes too long, I work for a living. This method has been working for a couple of months now and I'm impressed with the results.

 

I know it does remove the wax...I was just wanting to know how that area of stripped wax was treated...do the whole car or just the spot!

 

I just finished detailing ready for the black hills corvette classic. I had a couple of spots that were spider webbed (hope that was the right term) and I grabbed my pad that had some zaino polish on it. Sprayed a quick shot of detailer on it and it was gone. Don't know if I brushed up against it or what but it was gone.. Finished detailing and ready to go. Spent more time torquing lugs and checking fluids than detailing. Love it tho

 

You should be able to wipe it off in a wash, if you can't, use some tar remover and redo that portion. If you are happy, job completed. If you are not, you will have to redo it all.

It's your decision to make on the outcome and if you are happy with it.

 

I've owned several cars and hotrods that I've put in car shows. I have always used Meguir's wax products. They have a huge selection of wax, cleaners, you name it. The company has been around for years which tells me they have a good product or they wouldn't be as successful as they are. I can't see spending a lot of money for a product that Meguire's gets the same results and perhaps better.

 

I like their products too. They seem to have several levels of products from auto parts store grade all the way up to professional. As long as you know what you're buying, you will get a nice product.
