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.

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.

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.

All this talk about waxes, maybe I'll do my car today. At least give her a bath.

My '04 (metalic grey) looked phenomenal, but the first rain washed it off. Went back to zaino.

Seriously.

Just made my shiny new '05 black convertible look very nice!

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.

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.

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.

Dinsdale - 21 Apr 2005 16:47 GMT 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.

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.

Musty - 22 Apr 2005 04:05 GMT > > No signs of paint on the cloths. > > That's because your cutting the CLEARcoat. 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. -Rich

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.
