Hey guys. I see that everyone is raving about Zaino. But where in the UK/online can I buy this tuff. I emailed the company and they put me in touch with someone in Germany!!! I only took French at GCSE so no hope there!

I have been using the Zymol for a while now, but I dont like the white residue I get on unpainted plasitc. Is Zaino any better????

As far as I know, that German place is the only reseller overseas you can get it. I don't know if Zaino is any better at white residue because I haven't used Zymol and I haven't got any Zaino on my trim. Sorry.

I can tell you that Zaino does not leave any white residue on the black trim - I've slipped and done it and you'd never know.

You can buy Zaino direct from their e-store here: their website

Ok, richyc, what Zymol are you using! Certainly not their "actual" product line, but probley their Cleaner Wax <---which has silicone (bad!) in it. Zymol Creme or Carbon or any of their other waxes do not have silicone, and therefore will not leave a white residue. Zymol.com

Good luck,
Ryan

Gotta say. Have looked at your pics, stunning! I have a Black MC Chilli loads of chrome bits and it is a bugger to keep shiny. I live in a new housing esate with houses still being built so shed loads of dust :evil:

Ryan,

zainostore.com references the German company and also one in Singapore, that's it for outside the US, other than Canada.

Thanks for that. I have been using the Mirror Finish one. Cant find it on their website (doggy!). But will order one of the other ones you recommended.

Ryan,

I think we're going to have to settle this with a fist fight.

Zymol Creame wax leaves a white residue on the black trim. Not the cleaner wax. The official expensive-as-hell Creame wax leaves a film. Believe it!

Wow, never heard of that being done. What kind of finish does it leave - glossy, or matte? I would imagine it's glossy.
