Yes, my detailing business in Silicon Valley has become incredibly successful because we use Zaino.
It is not so much the Zaino name, but what the products do to deliver a shine and durability that is simply better than anyone else.

Nice long lasting shine; protection leaves something to be desired.

Sure do. Love the stuff. Once applied upkeep is easy just using Z6 and Z8 occasionally

Just ordered my annual C-6 products:

2...Z-16 Tires/front valance
2...Z-8 only for the paint
2...Z-7 wash
2...Z-6 for everything else except the seats/dash and doors

Been doing this since 2005!!!

Just found out about Z-10 for the interior. Just ordered a bottle and I'll report back how it works...distilled water and 303 Protectant don't work!...didn't touch the dash and glove box.

I have moved away from most of the Zaino products except for Zaino Clear Seal. Super easy to use and give a really nice shine and protection. I can CS the entire corvette in 5-10 minutes.

I do and get good results with it. But I'm willing to look at something better. Any ex Zaino users have a suggestion?

I'm in MI visiting and used my cordless Griots polisher and Zaino AIO on a black C300 Benz today with a Clear Seal topper..... just because I wanted to and my 85 yr old Godmother is thrilled to see her car so shiny.

What do you recommend for a black Z with minimal fine scratches. There is no Zaino on the car. I have Adams LPS on the car that was applied back in April. I am not sure what the difference is between the Z2 and Z5 products. Any help would be appreciated.

To Zaino anymore?

Z5 for minimal scratches followed by z2. If you are serious about going the Zaino route, check their site. It is a process but the results are well worth it IMHO.

Z5 is recommended for dark cars. I use both Z2 and Z5 though and think 2 has a better shine to it. No need to do multiple coats if you don't want. It's like any other product, one coat and you can be done.
