I have the full line of Zaino products that I have used on my cars for years, but picked up some rejex to try it out on my wheels and now use it on all my cars! So much easier than zaino and last longer in my opinion.

Nice looking shine with all these different products. I've been using Zaino with great results for over 10 years, however my neighbor turned me on to Menzerna, I used the 3 in 1 Menzerna with a white Lake Country pad (Flex DA), just to try it, and I must say the results were impressive.

I used Zaino for years and finally wised up. Mix this, then do this, not too much, leave on right amount of time, blah, blah. Jeez, just trying to wax a car not create a cure for cancer.

Blackfire and be done with it. Put it on, take it off. Easy. Great shine and equal longevity as Zaino.

Been using Rejex since my 2009 Vete. Still using it on my 2016 I just bought. Even a detail shop here asked me at the Corvette Show what is the world was I using on my Vette to make it shine so. I told him and now using it in his shop. I do not think you can beat it.

I use Rejex, I received it for Christmas back in 2009 and have been using it ever since. Easy on, easy off. As for Z, I simply have not tried it and am happy with Rejex.

I have used Zaino products for years on all my toys. I recently started using Killerwax on my Harley and been using it on the Vette also. Creates a great shine just as well if not better than Zaino. In the process of claying the C7 and gonna redo it all. My car is black so if i get a chance Ill post some pics in a few days of the results.

It is amazing to see so many guys/gals wanting to experience the best in sportscars and using old school technology to protect their investment.

You need to toss all those old bottles away and spend a couple bucks on a coating. The products (while in the infancy stage) far outlast any wax or sealant made to date. They bead or sheet water and offer hydrophonic technology. Best of all they are easy to apply, and once you learn a thin/light coat without heavy overlapping, you have little to no buffing. Once applied, and cured, you have 12-36 months of protection. That's right .... all you simply will need to do is washing, and drying. Using a little booster or topper spray as desired to remember those old waxing sessions.

Now each coating has some difference in looks, some are extremely glossy (Wolfgang, Optimum) and some are more reflective (Pinnacle, G-Techniq) and some are in-between. For the best outcome, as you will live with this finish for sometime, you should consider a light polishing before and a paint cleansing formula to strip old waxes/sealants. The paint needs to be clean and devoid of any oils for proper curing of the coating.

Zaino and Rejex are great sealants and offer a nice finish. What if you can triple the protection in length and protection and stop the heavy buffing to remove ?? How about one application ?? Some actually can be used on glass, trim, and wheels also.

Don't you owe it to one of the greatest sportscars in the world, to top it with the newest and greatest in paint protection ??? It is no longer about the brand name, its about the ingredients and technology.

Here is my car after using killerwax products and a claybar. I may strip it later in the summer and try zaino again. But for now it's good. Outside picture is hard to see the shine bc it's kinda early in am but had to leave. And we all know black is only clean for a trip from garage to road 😥

I use Rejex on my Arctic White C7 and on our Gray BMW (3 series) and Silver BMW (2 series). It's a great product. Several of my friends started using Rejex after seeing the results I get on my cars.

Sorry, but this is simply wrong. Zaino is actually one of the easier products to use for what it does for durability and shine than a lot of the others out there. It is actually quite simple for most people to deal with.
I have built an incredibly successful detailing business, and our cars have won multiple awards for paint shine and quality at some of the most prestigious shows in the US using Zaino.
Our reputation amongst the right people has paint protectant companies giving us free samples all the time. Yet, while the products may be decades old, we continue to blow away the competition and have not found anything to beat it, yet. So glad Sal has not changed the formulas and continues to deliver an incredible product.

Bottom line if it was that tough to figure and I can see where it would be for some, I would not have the business and reputation I have.

Zaino is by far one of the easier products I have ever used. Hence on of the reasons I am strongly considering switching back to if for my car. Carnuba paste waxes are far more of a pain to deal with.

Aloha Glen! I started your method on my car yesterday (She looks fabulous!) and completed the BF TPNS. Today I plan to put on the BF CS. I have one question on that... in your detail guide you created, you mentioned that you wash the car as needed and can reapply the CS every six months, without having to do the whole method again. You also mentioned using Duragloss Rinseless with Aquawax for a quick detailer in between washes (Which I bought and love).

So am I correct in understanding that it is okay to apply the CS overtop of the "aquawax" residue that is likely left behind when quick detailing?

Thank you so much!!!

Jennifer

I use Rejex (wheels only every 6 months).... Adams Polishes (all variations: love guard & gloss) for all body panels including wheels....None better imo...

btw I was a Zanio user for years until I tried ADAMS PRODUCTS!!
