Hey this isn't supposed to be a Zaino only thread.

Mine is coming as soon as I can get a pix of the car with something cool reflecting off of it. It's hard here in PHX to get a pix of clouds and stuff like all you others. Plus refectivity on yellow is hard too. So stay tuned. I get a great on shortly!

Pooky13-
Your baby is so clean and shiny. Do you even drive it? I guess you do but it is too sharp.

fins-
You are Pooky's twin brother minus the black stripes and sunroof. Fantastic shine and nice rally lights.

MGear-
SuperNice. Do you really keep it looking that good every day? I think your neighbors are getting pretty jealous by now.

Dominic-
Super bright and shiny reflective LY! Protect your MINI with your life.

I don't know. Kinda hard to judge who is tops. I wouldn't want the job.

Wizards and Zymol for Mr.Motor




Enjoy,

Damn, Ryan. That's hot. I really wonder if all of these Zaino-heads have ever done a heads-up competition between the two Z's. I am still a very strong believer in the entire Zymol product line.

You've inspired me to start a new thread.

[Ryephile]

funny you mention that COOP; I'll be using Zaino on MM2 when he comes in. Although the elbow grease is much higher with Zaino than Zymol, the sheer gloss of Zaino is awe-inspiring

My top 3 brands:
Elbow Grease factor:
1. Wizards (least effort)
2. Zymol
3. Zaino
Optical Perfection (based on clarity, color, and gloss):
1. Zaino (most gloss)
2. Wizards (least color change, and best clarity)
3. Zymol
Protection (against environment, and longetivity):
1. Zaino (so far so good)
2. Zymol
3. Wizards (good only for a few days!)

Cheers,
Ryan

So Ryan,

The creepy chemical nature of the Zaino doesn't bother you at all?

[Ryephile]

when I first opened a bottle of Zaino (all their products have a similar smell) I was like &quot;woah, toxic bubble-gum!&quot;

Seriously, all waxes and the like are strange chemical concoctions anyway, so I only care which works the best

[scooterboy]

Don't know anything about Zymol, but I found Zaino to be much less elbow grease than any wax I've tried (no HEAVY buffing needed). Is Zymol different than other waxes (application-wise)?

[fins4284]

VolperCooper, not trying to hijack this thread but what kind of wheels are you sporting? where did you get them? they're exactly what i'm looking for!

[KerMini]

fins,

I'm quite sure those wheels are Konig Tantrum 2's. I agree with your appreciation of them. I thought I had decided on the Centerling RPM in polished but these are sweet. Wonder if they come in, or can be polished bright?

[d-mini-ero]

You want shine :smile:
Zymol..is what I use :smile:
&amp; That's Mother's B2B ..on the wheel arches :smile:


Peace,

Meguiars marine flagship. This is the first time I have used this product and so far I like it. It is very easy to remove and doesn't leave any residue on the black.

I just waxed my BRG/B MC with meguiar's gold class, and am very happy with the shine. It took a little more elbow grease than I would have hoped to take it buff it out, but it made a beautiful shine, and came off the black parts quite easily. Sorry I didn't take any pictures before it got dark.

[sketchedin]

Here is my freshly MOTHERed MINI. I am just learnining about shine, and what to use and how to use it. But, I think it is a good start--





Right now, I pretty much use only Mother's. I used Stoner's on the glass and tires though, they look great I think.

Not the best photo in terms of light or mpixels but it's the best I have.
