I believe it is relatively new. I use it on my brand new car. Its quite
amazing. It works out cheaper and is less work than traditional waxes. It
really gives a show car "wet" look.

    People have been talking about Zaino for the roughly two years I have
been actively reading RAMFM.
natshaw99@yahoo.com - 19 Apr 2005 21:31 GMT
I did the whole Zaino thing for a few years and stopped.
It's good for indoor shows and such, but sucks if you drive in bad
weather a lot (comes right off).
I use Mothers Caruba wax now. IMHO it shines just as well and stays on
longer.

One more thing, with Zaino, you need a f---ing chemistry degree. They
send you a kit with a f---ing dropper to mix the polish correctly. When
I'm in my garage drinking beer and smoking weed, I DON'T HAVE TIME to
measure f---ing chemicals!!!
SVTKate - 19 Apr 2005 23:56 GMT
I have never tried Zano, have used Mothers polishes, they are good.
I have used Meguiars wax and polishing products for years and years.
Their Gold class is a nice liquid wax that puts on a real nice gloss and
lasts a good while.

You are prolly going to just have to try different things until you find
what you like.

Indeed.. I particularly like Meguiar's gold class liquid wax. It's real
nice, but too much "dust" when buffing. I just waxed my car a couple days
ago with Mother's Carnuba wax... wasn't too bad at all! I've heard a lot of
good things about Zaino... but f*ck that's hard to obtain lol... I think I
am going to try Klasse.. heard a lot of good things about it as well.

You realize that Nu-Finish is intended for very old cars. It performs
"cutting" meaning you just cut into that nice '05 paint. It makes old dull
paint look new because it cuts it to expose new paint. Its a cut'n'polish.
Very bad stuff. Zaino is completely non-destructive if you stick with Z2/Z6
combo.

No signs of paint on the cloths. Car looks great. And my white '66
coupe has had it on it for many years, it looks great too !
memset@recorddeal.com - 21 Apr 2005 02:50 GMT
I always thought all polishes "cut" to an extent. I've used a polish on my
98 GT before to help get rid of scratches... never screwed my paint.

That's what the "polish" does.
Using it to remove scratches and swirls is what it is intended to do.
A WAX is non abrasive.
Each is it's own seperate step in  maintaining a nice finish on your car.

You would use a wax often, but a rubbing/polishing compound only when
needed.

If I may, I'd like to suggest a clay-bar cleaner process as a once or
twice-a-year total car activity.
It works great at cleaning off the fine contaminants that build up and
don't always come off with a wash and/or wax.  Tree sap and bug hits
to name a couple.

Not on a brand new paint job!!
memset@recorddeal.com - 21 Apr 2005 16:48 GMT
Thought so. I knew a wax was non-abrasive.... I've only polished my car
twice in 3 years. Maintaining a nice couple coats of wax (occassionally
getting out Dawn & getting rid of all of it) has kept her looking pretty
decent *I* think.

Good point. Using a cut'n'polish on a new car is un-necessary because its
destructive.  Please, save that ClearCoat!!
SVTKate - 21 Apr 2005 14:59 GMT
That's because the new one has a clear coat.
You won't see what it is wearing off because of that.

Musty is right you should NOT use Nu Finish on a new car.

Sorry, sad but true.

I've tried many waxes but two experiences stick with me.
Zymol smells like bananas and when I used it, swarms of
wasps and bees would show up.
Eagle One (whose products I used to like) came out with
"Nano Wax" which was trash.  It smelled just like all
the other cheap waxes out there (indicating is WAS like
them) went on and came off with great difficulty.
New Turtle Wax (can't remember the exact type) worked far
better.  But, a friend's car looked better than it ever
did when he used Zano.

LOL, it is a bit like a chemistry set! Actually its not that bad. The only
mixing you have to do is a few drops of ZFX(curing compound) with the Z2-PRO
polish. I did not experience Zaino coming off in bad weather, but it really
depends how bad you are talking about. Caruba waxes are very good though. I
also recommed this site for cleaning/wazing products:

http://www.carcareonline.com/

If nothing else, make sure you real 100% cotton towels for all your drying
etc. Typically the Wal-Mart towels are not real 100% cotton.

A while back, after i reported my being really impressed with Klasse
3-in-1 wax, a few others posted their equally good experiences.

Go with Klasse

Same here. Klasse is awesome. Does not disappear after a few carwashes
or some hot weather.
