Ok, so I have been a Zaino guy for a long time...

So after reading Kenchan's posts I decided to go for.

Ordered up some Prima Amigo, Prima Epic, and some of those towels he was raving about.

Ok, so I washed the MINI, claybared, washed again, and used the air compressor to blow out the water. I then taped off all of my black trim.

After this I used an orange pad on my Porter Cable and set to 5 and used the Prima Amigo. They weren't kidding, this stuff is your new best friend. I used this to prep the paint. It left the painted surfaces feeling very soft and smooth.

I then wiped down all the panels with the monster fluffy microfiber towels. These have got to be the best towels, bar none, that I have ever used for this purpose. Even if you don't like any of the other products Detailer's Paradise sells, buy these. You won't be disappointed.

Next, I used a soft wax applicator on the P/C set at 3 and applied the wax to the whole car. I let it sit for about 30 minutes.

After this I used those fantastic towels to remove the wax. The car felt smooth and looked great. I parked back out in the sun and was amazed at how the metalic in my PS looked and how glossy the black on the roof looked.

Now they say you need to wait 24 hours for it to fully cure. I went outside at lunch, and it just looked amazing.

Depending on how this stuff holds up, Zaino may be only a memory for me.

I highly recommend Prima!

 

Great!
Did you use dawn or something to be sure you removed the zaino first?
Let us know way down the line how long it lasts. I'm specifically interested in durability.

 

TampaMCS - yes, now you know what i was talking about!
Now, go out and try the Nero! hehehe.

congrats on your new finish.

you guys should see my Civic today.... talk about WOW.

 

Tampa MCS- I'm glad you've found a new best friend in Amigo.

I have to admit... what we get to do is pretty fun stuff... test, create, play with products, etc. BUT, when we developed Amigo it was probably the most fun we've ever had with a product! Hence, the silly, though very true, name! We knew that at first, some people would read the name and be confused... "what does it do?" But we knew that once they tried it, they would understand.

Thanks for the review. Please keep us posted on your longterm results as well!

Kenchan, you are responsible for this madness

Yes, I used dawn to get the Zaino off.

Nero, I just read the description, I will have to give it a try!

Heather, whatever the case, its great stuff. I am happy you guys are a vendor here!

For those who use Zaino, Amigo reminds me of Z5 but is IMHO better, Epic is like the Z2 but again, IMHO better.

 

Today I ordered some Epic, Slick, and Nero. I already love the Monster MF towels. I may just have to kick Griot's to the curb, if all goes well!

 

there you go. Epic, Nero, and now Amigo. Im sure Slick is great
too.

Prima, the best new product lineup of 2006 for the NAM world.
(actually, im getting some great feedback from my Legacy, Civic,
and Infiniti buddies too).

 

This is a sickness (albeit a good one), I just got new microfiber towels, polishing cloths and about 2 years worth of Klasse from Autopia, and now I'm gonna have to go for the Prima stuff -I can see it now in a year or 2, small room, folding chairs full of fellow detailing degenerates who've lost their marriages, homes, jobs to obsession, urn of bad coffee - "Hi, I'm Kurt and I'm a detailaholic." "HI KURT."
