MINI and Bimmer on Zaino...

This was my first time using their products. While I feel the results were decent, I don't know that I'm overly thrilled with the price of it. I feel I can get equal results out of a $15 bottle of The Treatment. Needless, just some driveway shots of the MINI and 335xi. I know they are not as exciting as others pictures here, but let me know what you think.

Nice! Love Zaino. That reminds me, I need to clay down the MINI and put a few (new) coats of Zaino down.

With each application process, the finish gets thicker as each layer bonds with the previous.....I have to do mine as well.

Sure is easy after washing the car though. No more waxing or polishing required, just a spritz of Z6 shine enhancer and wipe dry to a super shine.

one very excellent feature of Zaino.

I had a 1998 Torch Red Corvette that never had anything other then Zaino used on it. I bought a front spoiler in 2008 and had it painted at a local shop. They were worried about not being able to match up the paint perfectly because of the Florida sun and paint fading.

Well, When they got the original Torch red paint from GM it matched up perfect. My 1998 Corvette never faded at all. It was still the same "Torch Red" that came out of the factory. The UV protection in Zaino really works.

I now have a red 2009 JCW and nothing will ever be used on it but Zaino. They now have a product called clear seal that is perfect for all of the plastic wheel trims,Wheels,Headlight covers, tail light covers as well as the paint including the sport stripes. It does not turn white on the plastic parts and protects them from UV rays. You just wipe it on and don't even have to wipe it off. I do use Z8 most of the time after washing the car. I also only use Zaino car wash soap.

This stuff is not really expensive when you figure it not only makes your car shine but will protect it from the UV rays of the sun. Believe me when I say our Florida sun is BRUTAL on just about everything and especially on car paint.

It is also great protection from the dreaded Florida Love Bugs.

Nice pictures! (nice cars).

I have been using Zaino for 10 years. It isn't expensive because you use it sparingly. Also it lasts longer than any other product I have used.

I used to use a lot of Zaino products. It's pretty good stuff.

On a side note, the photos are nice, but the colored borders are really distracting.
