| btcutter's Full Review: Zaino Bros Z-2 Show Car Polish For Clear Coated Fi... |
I have used Zaino product for close to one year now. So the opinion is based on my past experience.
I have done alot of research on waxes, polishes etc. Then I came across Zaino products. I was very reluctant at first because you can only purchase it online. But after all the research, you'll find that everysite says it works very well. I finally took that leap of faith and purchase the package which included
ZFX Flash Cure Accelerator Additive
Z-2 Show Car Polish for Clear Coated Car Finishes
Z-5 Show Car Polish for Swirl Marks and Fine Scratches
Z-6 Ultra Clean Gloss Enhancer Spray
Z-7 Show Car Wash
Z-18 ClayBar.
I followed the instruction to the T. I prepped the car with first wash using Dawn detergent. Then applied Z2with several drops of ZFX(speed up the drying). Sprayed Z6 to seal the polish. This was repeated x2. The outcome was a mirror like shine on my Sapphire Black BMW. Incredible shine esp in the shade. It look like water. Water just glides off the surface! I love the look...
Downside to this?! It's alot of work. No matter how easy it is to put the polish on (it was pretty simple...you don't need to rub the polish on hard like wax).
Let's breakdown how many time I have to wipe my car from start to finish (for a total of two coats of Zaino):
wash-1
dry-1
Z2+ZFX-1
wipe of Z2+ZFX-1
Seal with Z6-1
Z2+ZFX-1
wipe of Z2+ZFX-1(second layer)
Seal with Z6-1
Grand total of 8x around the car. It doesn't matter how easy it is to put the polish on and wipe off...it's still a lot of work. Granted, you don't need to do it every month. Zaino recommend 2x per year. But when you get that incredible shine, you just want to put more layers on (limit is 3 coats in 24 hrs)
Do I recommend it....yes..I am still using it. But just know the shine comes at a price.
Recommended:
Yes
Ease of Application: Average; takes some care to apply and shine well
