  • An interesting thread for all you Zaino fans....

    http://autopia.org/forums/showthread...light=ArmorAll

    Before looking at Autopia and from what I learned from this forum, I concluded that the Meguiar's and Mothers products were good and that Zaino is the king of paint care products. What a lot of people (myself previously included) don't realize is that there are a lot of other quality products out there that will match or even outclass Zaino. Evidently the Klasse products fall into this category as well as Meguiar's NXT. Something to consider next time you look into buying a $120 Zaino kit...

    I'm not bashing Zaino, I'm merely pointing out that there are other products that perform similarly or better.

    Spending 7-8 hours waxing is becoming too much for me.
    Neither product will maintain any level of appearance they previously achieved after 3-4 washes with a safe, gentle wash.
    The car is washed at least every second day.
    Heh, those people are fanatics. Sure I want it to look good, but I'd rather be driving it than waxing it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

      Judging from the lack of replies I'm guessing that no one wants to hear that there are products that compete with Zaino :rolleyes:

      Maybe if I had a V8 or turbo under the hood I'd rather be driving it, but I like to stare at my car. It's so beautiful when its shiny [img]smile.gif[/img]

          I've heard a lot of good things about P21S as well: Zaino, Klasse, and P21S are supposedly the top three waxes out there. If you're going to use the Klasse AIO I highly recommend Klasse SG as well, its one of the best sealants and will protect your paint very well.

            I used the Klasse AIO and my car looked more towards the gold color side now along with more shine, depth and slickness. Amazing because it was oddly starting to look more like silver to me.

            I didn't believe it so I used it on my 1/24 scale Orange Pro Street 69 Camaro Muscle Machine. One side I used AIO, the other side I used regular polish, then wax. The AIO hands down was the champ, just one easy application and it was so smooth and so much more shiney with new depth added to it. Not only that, the orange actually looks more orange and vibrant now. And thats on a single stage. I then used it on the rest of my die cast collection.

                1st Zaino is only $85 for the starter kit not $120, you can cut that down if you have your own claybar, car wash, and detailer spray, its only $45, if you don't want the swirl remover its only $32.95

                You buy any of those other waxes/polishes your gooing to want to clay your car, and your eventually wanna get a decent car wash. Would you rather buy everything you need but a bucket and a towel, or go back to the store 3-4 times getting everything?


                Do some of those shine better then Zaino? probably, do they last as long? Nope. You wanna go spend 6 hours detailing your car and have it look great for carshows and such, go for it, you don't mind doing it every 2 weeks, or keeping your car as a weekend driver.

                Want something that looks pretty damn close to as good, and probably only needs to be put on once every 6 months, makes the car and WHEELS(this was a big plus) easier to keep clean. Then go for Zaino.

                Of course there is a better product out there but you have to weigh in the pluses and the minuses of it then the costs. Technically you could also go out and buy that $1,000 a jar wax Zymol has, I assume it looks great.

                But if that stuff works on your car and works for you then by all means use it, everyones requirements, situations, and cars are different use what works best for you.

                But don't assume Zaino is $85, and brand XX is only $30, but then I have to go to the store and buy a clay bar, swirl remover, detailer spray and car wash. Stuff adds up quick.

                Look at the breakdown of what each product costs, and keep in mind you do an entire car with ~3/4s of an oz.

                A XXL Zaino t-shirt costs more then all of the individual products, except ZFX which is not even needed just makes zaino dry quicker.
