First time using Zaino

Ordered the Zaino kit last week, got it in yesterday evening. Started with removing the wax that I put on last Saturday using Dawn dishwashing liquid. Then used the Zaino claybar. Got up bright and early this morning and started polishing. After all day and several coats, here are the results. The shine is amazing.

yeah, but you guys that live near the north pole can't drive more than 3 months a year anyway, so it shouldn't ever get dirty.

I will get mine tomorrow. First time Zaino user coming from years of dedication to Zymol Carbon. In the end,it really comes down to paint prep and elbow grease! Just hoping the polymers last longer than the carnuba.
sorry for grammar, on phone.

no reason for wax wars. the OP took his time, prepped, and zainoed his vette. It looks awesome.. And OP.. you will find the protection will last a long time. Looks real good my friend you did it right!

Please folks, lets don't ruin this thread with a bunch of zaino hating crap and bs like so many others...... whats the point? Everyone to their own preference.... The vette looks awesome..... proofs in da puddin.......

Folks post all the time after detailing.... this crap of jumping on a hater bandwagon has gotten real old. You know who you are.

Zaino rocks!!!! BrooklynC5's car was filthy on the way to orchard beach show this passed weekend. We wiped it down with some soapy water then applied z6 and the finale spray and it shined right up.

It's all good, so long as you guys that use Zaino do the same thing in the non-zaino product threads..remember it works both ways.

OP car looks great, Nice work

Looks who's talking the one and only one that can not just compliment someone on the results of their effort without throwing in a speech about not knocking Zaino. Or heavens forbid someone post up using another product and you have to tell us again how it looks good but does not have the durability etc of Zaino.
You are the one that starts all this crap, just follow your own advice and all is well.
