Where to buy Zaino?

[RCKTMN]

Hey all,

I was thinking of trying this Zaino stuff on my Viper and Durango RT. I was wondering where you guys get yours. I've looked around the local stores and haven't come across it. Is it strictly a mail-order thing?

Thanks,
Paul

Re: Where to but Zaino?

Thanks for pointing out my typo. That's what happens when you don't proof read your stuff.

I've used other products and thought I'd give Zaino a try.

What product do you like? I'm not into waxing every week. So, ease of use and longevity is important. Also, should it make a difference, my Viper is red.

Thanks for your input!
Paul

Re: Where to but Zaino?

Just FYI

I use
- Mothers detailer and clay bar together

- Maguires extream car wax-looks good and last a long time

- Maguires Detailer between washes
- Mothers wheel cleaner on my high gloos aluminum wheels
- Maguires car wash

I have used Zaino and it is great. But I think I get the same result with the above products. They are less expensive and easier to get. Just my opinion.

Re: Where to but Zaino?

Definetly go with the Zaino. It blows away NXT. I/most people think NXT is one of the worst products Meguiars has ever put out, it has no durability and will only last 2 weeks or 2 washes, whichever comes first. Zaino on the other hand will last for up to 6 months and gives a look that cannot be duplicated. Especially now with the release of the new Z2 Pro and Z8 it is way ahead of its competition. I would order ZFX, Z2 Pro and Z8 at the very least. The Z6 (quick detailer) and Z7 (car wash) are also excellent products. I also use his leather products on my cars and couch and love them, they smell great.

********. Start to finish. How long have you worked there?

Re: Where to but Zaino?

Here's my .02.

As far as Zaino durability is concerned, I'd suggest anyone doubting Zaino's durability should consult the Guru Reports. These are tests that are independently run, much like Consumer Reports, but for specialty car products.

While honest product comparisons are fair...stating likes or dislikes of a product's maker are really not germane to the topic.

I don’t see Meguiar’s or Mothers sponsoring this forum either.

If there are any complaints about Zaino durability is NOT one of them, just do a search on the internet. You say you don't like Sal Zaino so I am sure you wouldn't like his product either. Just out of curiousity sake, why don't you like Sal, his customer service has always been impeccable from my experience.

Re: Where to but Zaino?

Try McGuiars new NXT paste wax. Not only does it shine, but does a better job at filling in those microfine scratches. Also, it seems to last longer, IMHO.

Re: Where to but Zaino?

Sal was always cool to me when I called to buy stuff, but I have to agree with plumcrazy - his stuff didn't last well at all on my Dakota R/T. In fact, it lasted far less than any other product I ever used. Zaino was great on my show car ('69 Charger R/T SE) but just couldn't hold up to the elements on a daily driver.

Re: Where to but Zaino?

Moparman did you use Dawn and the the clay bar before doing your car?

Re: Where to but Zaino?

Yes, if the surface is not properly prepped any synthetic will not properly bond/crosslink to the surface and will probably wash right off. When done properly you can not get a more durable product. You need to do a dawn wash or wipe down with prepsol or 50/50 alchohol and water before applying Zaino.

Re: Where to but Zaino?

Anyone tried the Zymol products?

I found an interesting review, which while not very scientific, is an interesting read (sorry it's tested on Nissan NSX paint but Zaino does look to be the winner:

Absolutely. I followed Sal's directions to the letter. Don't get me wrong - the final product looked awesome, but the finish just didn't seem to last very long. I would definitely use Zaino on a show car or weekend fun car, but not on a daily driver. It just doesn't seem to last under the Vegas sun.

Vegas sun should not touch Zaino or any synthetic, now a carnuba I would not expect to last in heat/sun. What gave you the impression it was not lasting, did it stop beading, look dull or was it not slick and hard to wash? What are you using now and how is it lasting?

It stopped beading fairly quickly and lost gloss, although it did not look dull. This took about 2 months. After 3 cycles of Zaino I switched back to Meguires professional products on my truck (which is since sold). I have now changed to Meguires NXT. I should also mention that I no longer have a vehicle that sits out in the sun all day, so I can't compare how long NXT lasts to how long Zaino lasts.

Re: Where to but Zaino?

zaino looks GREAT for the first 2 weeks. keep in mind i drive my viper more than most of you guys and wash almost everytime i drive it. yes it was clay barred,and dawn stripped like he tells you to do too. I always use 5-6 coats in the order he tells you to in his thorough directions.

but to say it will last on a daily driven car for 6 months is totally redamndiculous...NOT even close ! ! !

does the stuff look great when first applied...YES IT DOES !! but NOT for long.

sal is an @ss. i have called him 2 times and both times he was pompous. but after i try another product (rod & custom) if it ISNT better, i will definetely admit it...but i will keep looking for a better product cause im NOT about to give anymore of my money to an @ss like him.

Re: Where to but Zaino?

Sal was always nice to me,but I tested the product side by side with other autozone top brands and Zaino is way to time consuming and costly and bla bla bla.
Nice Run guys.

well said TOOOFST..."Nice Run Guys".
