Just curious. I'm about to put #3 on mine. How much deeper will the shine get with additional Z2? Anyone have some impressive pics?

"Stock?! Theres nothing "stock" about a stock car."

 

If this is the end all be all wax/polish then why hasn't it gone to chain stores, or have been picked up by a major car care product company.

 

Cause if Sal did that you'd see the price increase, due to marketing, packaging cost, higher labor, etc. It's for the enthusiast. He runs quite a business just from word of mouth.

I've got somewhere near 15 coats on.

OK, i am in marketing class right now, as i am typing this. and if Sal was to go to a wider market. the price would increase severly. Marketing a product is very important. and i have never seen a commercial, and ask your self. would you trust an advertisement, or someone who told you about the product. exactly. the word of mouth method is the strongest advertisement. and it also doesnt cost anything.
Zaino is a great product. but i just wish there was an easier way to get it.!!
i know for a fact that is all i will be using on any of my cars once i get the money to buy all the products. and after my camaro is repainted, then i will need it.

have fun. and keep em shining!!

I disagree with you so called marketing experts... If he can produce more he can sell more and mass production REDUCES cost.. Rememebr Henry Ford.. He mass produced cars and WOW everyone can afford them... What about turtle wax, mass production has kept them cheap, or Meguairs... I would find it easier to believe he wants to run a small business over MARKETING reasons. Another example I can buy 10 computer boards for my business cheaper than buying 1, but in a larger block it is even cheaper, HMMMMMM

 

Yes it is easier for an EXISTING company to mass produce something. But for a business that is not setup or intends on selling millions of bottles of wax there is huge costs in startup. Especially when 95% of the public is just happy with there Turtle Wax shine and don't give to craps about how good it could look.

Also when products get over produced or purchased by a large company, you lose alot in customer service. Try calling Mother's or Meguirs and ask to talk to the owner/president about a problem you are having getting tree sap off your paint. They'll either hang up or send you to some idiot working a switchboard. With Zaino call or email and Sal answers it himself. That alone makes me not mind paying that extra buck a bottle or whatever.

People have asked this question many times before. Sal likes running hsi business this way. He gets to keep his customers the happiest this way.

 

zero

 

6 coats on the 89 (3 Z2, 3 Z5), and 2 coats on the 86 (2 Z5) until I get some Z3 for it.

 

remember mass production makes the quality go down.. AS easily seen by ford.. model t comes out.. mass production.. ford goes downhill from there.. LOL Anyway I agree that while the price would overall go down the product would risk being cancelled more since people with their minivans don't care whether turtlewax or no wax is on their cars.

BETTER DRIVING THRU SUPERIOR HORSEPOWER!

 

Mass production absolutely does NOT make quality go down, it lowers cost.

Sure if done incorrectly there's more 'cooks in the kitchen' to screw things up, but we are talking about a wax, not precision machine work/blueprinting!

 

it appears you have missed the joke I posted about it.. I recommend you read my post closely.

The other issue about marketing is.. How often do you buy a product that has the label "As seen on TV"? Sal probably feels that word of mouth advertising will be better in the end, because most people will consider it to be a superior product. One it gets commercialized, the quality will degrade and so will the customer service. At this rate, he will be #1 in the enthusiast market because only enthusiats will know about it. He probably only wants the best clients. "Joe Homeowner" waxing his car before the winter snow doesn't know the difference between Zaino and the Deluxe wash with wax at the local carwash. Why market to that clientel? You're only asking for headaches!
