Actually it's called "Zaino", and I wouldn't use anything else.

Check out "Liquid Glass Polish" a gold can with a pink C-2 corvette on it I have used it since 1979 and the cars always shines and beads water. The can is only $18.00 and you can get it easier than Zaino and locally at your Pep Boys Store. The more coats you put on the more protection you get and it removes small scratches and protects from Ultra violet rays. After you finish applying the polish and buff it to a shine you leave the car out in the direct sun so it can bake into the paint for protection. If there is no sun the curing time is 4 hours. Why spend all of your time applying different chemicals on your car and stripping your cars perfectly good paint protectants away with Dawn dishwater soap that is suppose to cut the grease and remove everything from your NEW paint job that you paid for when you can get a product that enhances what is already on your car for protection. You just create more work for yourself and costs more $$$$ with that Zaino stuff if you can find it. You could be using that time you are laboring driving your car instead.

I've used Zano in the past, and thought it worked well, but it requires multiple coats spread over several days. It always was such a hassle to schedule my time around those several coats/days. The weather never seemed to cooperate. Because of this I probably won't use Zano on my C6.

Use Dawn on your $50,000 plus corvette? That is one of the first not to do.

If you can't find a Canadian distributor ask one of your friends down here to get what you need & ship it up to you.

Like anything else in life, you have to work for what you want. I do not mind putting in extra time and effort to apply the Zaino.

If you don't want to use Dawn use 50/50 Isopryl Alcohol and water to remove wax. Anybody that says Zaino is alot of work is doing something wrong. Sometimes the prep is alot of work but that should be done before you use ANYTHING.

That's just it, there is no extra effort or time required to apply Zaino, it is by far the easiest I've ever worked with.
