Has anyone had an experience with Zaino Brothers products? Im liking the idea of there wax being able to be applied in layers. Once my Mini goes into its bubble im going to give it a complete going over and was considering giving there products a go.

I used it for the 1st time on my new FGT and will never go back.

I had a few light spider web type scratched where the bloody dealer must of washed it with a dirty sponge. Anyway this is the process I went thru

Washed the car

Dried it

Claybar it

Washed it

Did 2 coats of Z5

Did 3 coats of Z2

Finished up with Z6

I got friendly with the guys at http://www.carcareproducts.com.au as was considering on finishing with the Zaino CS product but persudaed me to try this one, basically same as CS but nearly half the price.

This way I just need to apply the Opti seal once every 4-6mths and I'm done.

Bottom line the Zaino stuff is great.

Got to agree on the Zanio its not cheap but it lasts a lot longer and you get a better finish than any thing else on the market .

But I disagree with the opti seal get the zanio cs its heaps better

Zaino is definately one of the better amino functional resin based sealant systems, though I've been told that it has problems with water spotting on occasions

Eight months is around about the durability time that some friends have indicated

I am about to test Z8 against Aussie Gold Showroom sealer glaze spray, Prima Slick, Duragloss 923 and Driven Quick spray concentrate

I still believe that prepping the paint with clay bar, detox (deep cleaner that brings natural colour back and reverses porousness and oxidation) without abrasives and then either Glare or Menzerna polishes before using Zaino, is more beneficial as you will have a water like slick feeling paint finish with perfect mirror image reflections even before the Zaino will be applied and that should enrich the paint more

But for those who won't spend or don't have the time to do all that, Zaino is fantastic

For the market it was made for, which are enthusiasts who want to aply a few products and get a great shine, it is great.

I don't use it as I am more into using GLARE non abrasive systems to bury orange peel and provide the shine or a combo of Menzerna and other polishes to get as close as possible to new paint job and show car perfect finish before any sealant goes on the car.

Sealant and wax are just the icing on the cake,

I am a big fan of the Glare finish line. The new Advanced is an amazing sealant and all surface gloss enhancer
