MY ZAINO DETAILING EXPERIENCE(& another thing I got on Wednesday)

ON Wednesday I got my Zaino order.
In it were these items:
ZPC Fusion
Z2 Pro
Z6 Spray
Z7 Car Wash
Z14? Perfect Tire Shine*
ZFX Accelerator
FREE Applicator

*The best tire shine product on the market!(And believe me I have tried them all!)

I forgot to read the directions all the way through on the ZFX until about 9 o'clock last night, when I started to wax my MINI, it was a little mistake, I was up 'til about 3. But from what I can tell though it was more than worth it. I haven't seen it in the sun but just inside it's so deep and slippery. What others have said is right it is alot of work, especially in the humidity. I imagine when the air gets drier and it becomes just a little cooler (today it got up to 98* with 79% humidity!), it will become alot easier to work with.

I will post my process, pics, and reaction tommorow or Monday. But right now I have to go to bed, and catch up on sleep.

Mikey
(Plus I'll take a pic of another thing I got on Wednesday, and let me tell you it is the best mod ever!)

But do you have the pre- and post-Zaino dyno numbers?

Detailing into the wee hours... now that's (fill in the blank from the following choices)!

a) devotion
b) obsession
c) compulsion
d) lunacy

So... in the clear light of day... which is it, Mikey?

P.S. Welcome to the cult .

I agree...It's a GREAT tire dressing. It's on my car right now.

The thing I like about it is that it makes your tires look brand new. Most of all it is not greasy.

Sorry to disappoint you but I will not have pics until Tues. I am playing in a U.S. Junior Amateur Qualifier (golf), by the time I get home from playing 36 holes in the 98* heat an d 79% humidity I think I'll be pretty shot!

I promise I will have pics and the process by tuesday!
