Holy crap, on the first pic I thought you took the pics of 2 cars, and then I scrolled down to see the IROC decal and realized your car is a mirror. Can anyone help, I know where to get Zaino, but which products do I need.

Start out with a bottle each of Z1 and Z2, follow the instructions that come with it. You will really like the results.

Actually, if I remember correctly, the car has about 5,700 miles on it.

Maybe less, somewhere between 1200 and 5700 I believe. Can't remember exactly.

Another Zaino car. Paint was only 3 or 4 years old here. Not to take any of Mirsiro427 thunder because you can not out shine a black car. I thought I would just add some color to the post.

Okay, sixteen and a half years to be exact.

This car was purchased in July of 1985, but the early 85s would be seventeen years old as of September, or there abouts.

No, it wouldn't be worth putting it on, unless you do it right.

Take off all your old wax using a clay bar, then apply Zaino.. its useless if you have other coats of crapola wax underneath it.

Sonar_Un, supposed to use dawn to remove old wax. Clay bar prepares for polish lok, allows easier applications as well as z2/z5

Tpi383, I'm nto saying it's bad not to drive your car or anything, I think Mirsiro427 has the best looking IROC on this board. But the way his title was written, I didn't want everyone running out to buy the amazing zaino (though they should) thinking it would turn their car in a piece of glass.

Heres guys:

Quoted from a guy @camaroz28.com

"Ok. I zaino'ed (Z1, Z5, Z2)my car a few weeks ago, except for one side of my hood, which i used the meguires products on (cleaner wax, polish, and gold class wax). While washing my car this past weekend i was amazed to see the results:
http://www.streetillusionsracing.com/Josh/zaino1.jpg
http://www.streetillusionsracing.com/Josh/zaino2.jpg
You can see that the meguire's side doesn't even bead water anymore. The Zaino is beading water like crazy! This is just another example of the lasting power of Zaino."
