Truly impressed with Zaino
Since my car is in storage for the winter (heated garage) I have had alot of time to detail it for the spring. I ordered Z1, Z2 Pro and Z5 last week and have put on several coats of both Z2 and Z5 (where there are swirl marks) After 3 coats of Z5, I can truly say the car looks awesome. It is arctic white and looked pretty good to begin with, but after the Zaino "effect" was realized, I was truly amazed. Definitely worth the money and time. Just like glass... One quick question, back in the day, adding a good exhaust would gain you some horsepower (or at least people thought) I have read on here that adding a exhaust will not garnish you much. I bought mine with a Magnaflow cat back with X-pipe already installed. It is fairly quiet, but thats my preference anyways. I also have the zip-tie mod with a K+N and hood seal.
Regards,
Jason

Get yourself the Z6 gloss enhancer spray. If you think you have a smooth finish now just wait. You should do a coat of the spray in between coats and end with a coat of it. The finish feels like silk!

Hello Fellow neighbour! I ordered it from www.zaino.ca
They are located in Guelph, I got it fed ex next day.
Just call them up, tell them what you want, they ship it same day. Or you can go out there to pick it up. It was only a few dollars shipping so I figured I would just get them to ship it.

I have been detailing for 45 years... Zaino is the best thing Ive ever used in the evolution of waxes...
If your a detailer, the next single best product you can buy to make your car finish look like glass, is a porter cable random orbital polisher.
Meguiars NXT is a close second to Zaino. Zaino definitely has the edge.

Cat back exhaust is not going to gain you a great deal alone but a quality system will be crucial once you continue to add mods. When I had the magnaflows and a blackwing on my 2000 coupe A4.....dynoed at 317rwhp (371 at the crank).

I sure would like to see a WHITE one that has been done usiing Zaino.
Mine has all kinds or swirl marks everywhere, and I've tried with 'standard' Mequires stuff, and no luck getting the spider web looking swirls out.
Also, w/ White - does it give it some real depth?
Post WHITE cars done with Zaino or NXT!
