So far, I've safely applied the Zaino on the paint, chrome, wheels, clear bra, vinyl stripes, and roof flag.

Paint, chrome trim, stripes, and wheels. Say away from the black plastic trim. Try RainX on the glass (outside). Have fun!

Zaino is great as a shower/bath gel too! Makes your skin really shine!

zaino makes different products each for:
Body and metal parts
vinyl and rubber parts
glass
leather

All work reasonably well.
I really like the leather and vinyl care products

Christina,

did you look at this page when you ordered your Zaino? There is a lot of great information on their site.

BTW, I used to use Zaino, now I use Meguiar's NXT wax. It's just as good as Zaino with half the cost and half the work! (You only need to apply one product in one coat, as opposed to two products that work in tandem = 2 coats.) You can get it at Pep Boys and Wal Mart, too!

gracias everyone for your comments, and for only making fun of me a little.

i know i could have read the zaino website, and i did paruse it a bit, however i feel that i'd get much more sound advise asking people who've used it themselves...not that the people at zaino haven't... you know what i mean. maybe?

christina,
who's not as dumb as she sounds.
