I'm looking into what I want to get to wax my baby's new paint this spring. What do you guys perfer? These seem to be the top 2 on the board... for some reason formula 113's website isn't working for me right now...

 

I've never used Zaino, but after using F113 I was sold, and I was an avid Meguiar's user.

I just loved how it brought the color back to certain spots, to help the paint match better.

 

alot of people were very happy with the formula 113

 

Mark, didn't you say when you used it some color came off onto your cloth? I'm not sure that I want to use something that abrasive on new paint...

 

Well, what do you think a polish is?

 

Yes, but that was only in spots where my clear coat is pretty much gone, for instance on the hood, none came off.

 

I used Formula 113 and liked it quite a bit. I especially liked how it did not give off a lot of powdery residue. However, I did not think it lasted very long.

 

My vote has been given...

 

I'v eonly used F113 and I liked it a lot. I'll use the Zaino this spring if I don't sell it.

 

Zaino doesn't compare to Formula 113 in my opinion.

 

I've used both Zaino and Formula 113 and for polishing a Daily driven car, I like the Formula 113 because its quick and easy to apply. The Zaino has to be put on with Multiple coats, is a little more time consuming to apply since I apply it in both vertical and horizontal strokes depending on what panel I'm polishing and is harder to buff off.

For a Daily Driven Vehicle Formula 113 shines great, applies and buffs off easily and cost about as much as any high quality Polish. as far as how long it lasts... Every Polish I've used lasts about the same... about 2 weeks.

Zaino shines great but after applying Zaino's Multiple Products, I really didn't notice any deeper shine than from just the 1st coat of Z2 and for the $70 I paid I would not buy it again. I would only recommend Zaino for Show Vehicles and for people that have money and time to burn.

 

i just used zaino for the first time, and it seems to work pretty good. i put down 1 coat of the Z1, 2 coats of Z5 and then 1 coat of Z2. it looks pretty good. i tried the formula113 a while ago when he was giving out free samples and i really liked it then. im going to order some more formula113 and try it again so i can compare the 2 better.

 

I voted for Zaino but one thing is for sure: Sal should lower the price of Zaino a little. I constantly find myself spending (on my own car) about $150 canadian twice a year... I don't know why, or how... but I do... between applicators, towels, z6 etc. it definitely gets expensive. The shine is better than the rest, but sometimes I ponder whether I'd be willing to alose a bit of shine to save $200 a year... know what I mean?

nonetheless I will keep buying Zaino, but I think the price should come down.

 

how much does each cost?

 

I sell the detailing kit for $45 shipped to your door. If your from thirdgen.org I knock off $5 so it actually just $40 shipped. the detail kit includes the wax, beadx and a clay bar. anymore q's just give me a shout.

Hello, fellas. I placed my vote

Merry Xmas to all and happy new year. We are almost ready to move it down to Florida. The trucks are packed and ready just have to go to the closing and were out. Look for new products this spring and the Formula113 gear. To all the dealers, we will offer signs, banners, shirts, custom tents etc etc etc.

ENJOY THE HOLIDAYS

 

Oh, so is this why the site is down? When can I expect it to be back up, and any hints as to what the new products are???

 

The site is not down, I just opened it. www.formula113.com

We will add to the line of products, the packaging will change also.

I will not reveal what the new products will be, but I will not re-invent the wheel. We want everything in the detail bucket to have the formula113 logo on it.

We are going to take the company to a new level, and offer more tools for the dealers. I will stick with the dealer program and it should cost under $500.00 to get started.

ENJOY THE KIDS TOYS

 

Hrm... for some reason the site wasn't working for me for the past couple of days, but it's up now. Thanks everyone, I think I'm going to go with the formula 113 right now unless something earth shattering happens to change my mind....

 

113 outshines the zaino in book hands down, but the zaino's "protection" lasts longer, but what do you expect from several layers of product versus one?

 

Zaino lasts longer, Formula113 out shines zaino with one coat. I guess you can't have it all. I like waxing my car so it doesn't bother me how long it lasts. People always ask me how long does it last? I tell them longer then it has to!


It takes one coat of the 113 then beadx inbetween to have a better shine, cheaper to use also. I would reccomend one wax with the 113 once a month and the beadx as often as you like. clay every 3 to 6 month depending on the miles.


ZAINO has a fine product line its a matter of personel preference.


We know there is nothing better then that just waxed looked after using the formula113.


I am partial , you know
