Well, I just used my first kit last weekend and I'm asking myself "Where the hell was this shit years ago?!" Applied about 2 coats only, one being the ZFX Accelerator and this shit does wonders. I'll admit, I'm a Zaino Addict. :duh:

I'm a fan og Race Glaze personally. Super easy to work with and leaves a better finish then any Meguires, Turtle Crap, or any others I've used. It's expensive but worth it.
I'd like to try Zaino though. I've heard a lot of good stuff about it.

i've been using zaino for over 2 years now; I love the stuff. The process does take forever though, but that's just because I'm very meticulous, but whatever, the wax and polish last so long you'll hardly ever have to do it again.. Hope you're using a good set of towels and applicators and such.

looks like a nice product...that black C6, maserati, and black trunk lid with california duster is just fah-bulous! may have to try it sometime...too bad my cars flat black for now or id try it out some time very soon...just really lazy when it comes to detailing my parents' cars...
is there something im not getting? maybe lack of sleep is catching up to me, but what possible color could the stang be to have a reflection such as the one in the picture above?

With zanio isnt there a wait period before buffing? The longer you wait the better? Then add another coat? Im not a big fan of that.
I use that s100 stuff. I forget the name but its what the harley guys use. Great stuff!

there's practically no wait with the zfx that comes with the kit you buy. don't remember exactly, but it's like 15min wait max.

Zaino is a non carnuba wax product. It is actually a Polishing product. Correct me if I'm wrong. But Zaino does wonders on darker color cars. The only downside to it is you can see swirls and your mistakes if there is any to be had.
Ever since I started using Zaino, my washing/waxing/detailing methods have revolved around Zaino. It really takes control of the whole procedure and the ending results are amazing. Some people go to the limits as to putting 10-20 coats before another car wash. As other only apply 2 coats a year.
It is really up to the person to use Zaino to its extreme measures or casually put apply it on a nice sunny day to show the awesome glow of the polish.
As for the longer you wait, the better it get isnt nessessarily true. The reason why some people wait longer than others are because they arent using the ZFX Accelerator. That will speed up the process if you will. And then you can buff off the remains, and apply a coat of the Z-6 Gloss Enchancer. After that, it really is up to the person to add another coat, 5 coats, 10 coats, or leave as is.
Pics to come soon!!
