What wax are you using? Anyone have a suggestion for what works best, and what to stay away from?

Or if this has been discussed, could you point me in the right direction

Thanks!

 

ZAINO PRODUCTS MY MAN!!!!!

 

Have used Zaino and yes it works well. Just recently tried Rejex and it seems to work equally as well. So far, a big fan.

 

Louie:

First of all, congrats on that absolutely smoking VY Z06 I have the same color on order and should have it by April. I ordered the ZKIT-2 Zaino Ultimate Protection Show Car Kit.

I was told to hold off on waxing the car for at least a month after I receive it(Not by Zaino). Have you used the kit and if so, what steps do you go through? If there are any other VY owners out there who have opinions, please advise.

You want to know what sux? We have gotten about 6 inches of snow tonight in Chicago and all I have is my kit and chrome Z06505hp plate holder for the back of the car.

Zaino? Yes.

Plate holder? Yes.

Car? No

Snow? yes.

 

Stay away from Black Magic products.

 

Thank you.. The Z is awesome you will love I promise..

For the Zaino..

I got mine on saturday and Zaino'ed her Sunday morning.

1-Well I actually clay bar the car. (wash with dawn dish soap before)
2-Then I apply the Zaino. I use the Z-2 pro.
3-The I apply Z-6 inbetween each coat. This may not be needed but I do it.

I usually put 2-3 caots. Mine now has 6 coats..
(I apply when i feel like it.)

4- After putting however many coats. I then use the Z-8 which is new but I do like it. Some feel the Z-6 is enough or just use one or the other, but I like both. ( I am very **** by the way. )

5- I put the the Zaino on my wheels also. I have heard of the Rejex and I am going to try when I get around to buying some. I am only going to use it on my wheels. Some use it on the car. I like the Zaino. Personal preference..

Now that this process is complete.
I will use the Z-6 or Z-8 (Mood determines which I guess ) after I drive it. I pull in the garage and wipe her down. This keeps the dirt and sh-t from building up and you don't need to wash as much. You DO NOT want to wipe down with out spraying with something like the Z-6or Z-8. Wiping a dry surface with dirt on it and a cloth = a sh-t load of scratches.

I would not wait a mont but thats me..
The lighting is not so good but you can see the shine. I promise you it looks wet in the sunlight.. Damn near blinding..

Thanks, Louie. I'm 35 and I feel like a 7 year old waiting for Christmas to come.

They say patience makes you stronger, but these kind of stories are just making me more anxious. My wife says I'm a loon with all the garage prep work that I have done for this car.

 

Waxers......................... Just drive it.

 

But she got to be clean when on the road..

Driving this car dirty is unacceptable..

 

Zaino gets my vote, it is the best of both worlds, looks and durability. It is also one of the easiest products to apply/remove IMHO. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. If you do a search on Zaino in this forum or go to www.zainostore.com you will have all the information you need.

 

You'll get plenty of opinions here, and I have tried alot of different products but Zaino has my vote for now.
I use Zaino on paint and NXT on the HRE's to repel water spotting.

Enjoy

where's YO-EL , we all know that Pledge is the key to finish nirvana. Pinnacle Souveran Paste is close behind however ....

 

I poo pooed Zaino for a long time. I tried pinnacle. tried NTX. tried a dozen cheaper waxes. they ALL look great, but the weather and my free time doesnt allow for me to polish the car 2-3 times a week. I ponied up for Zaino when I bought the C-5 and I wont put anything else on any car I own. for those of you who say it's expensive.. you just bought a 25k+ machine.. and you complain about $90 for som zaino?
