Zaino for life!!!!(pics inside)

They pics do not do justice at all for what zaino has done for this car. It sucks because the background and lighting wernt that great, but just imaging a black 3rd gen T/A with a **** load of visible swirl marks Well 3 coats of Z5 and 2 coats of Z2 later and you have a practiacal mirror image on a car that is almost 16 years old and had 76000 on it. Sorry no front pics yet

I think its just because dark colors shine more in the 1st place.

That should work great on my "gunmetal grey" paint! What exactly IS that stuff? Is it just some sort of wax, or is it a polish type stuff?

This is the best shine I've got so far (if this attach file thing works, i haven't tried it yet) using this stuff called "flash" which is wicked. BTW that LeMans sharing the picture belongs to Camrs89. Keep in mind the indoor lighting since it was like 9:30 at night when we did this. And don't ask about the location!

For the ones asking about other colors: I used it on my Navy Blue Metallic Z28 and it made a definite shine although not to the extent as it did on the black car.

I like Zaino better than anything else I've ever used. Easy to use and long lasting. And the more coats you add, the better the shine! Those who doubt should really try to find a car done with Zaino just to see it in person. No pic I've ever seen has done it real justice, it looks so much better with your own eyes.

Now that looks great
Zaino is definitely a great product...we have a lot of car people down here in FL that SWEAR by the stuff. I have yet to see a car that did not look great after using it. And the website is www.zainobros.com Sometimes you may be able to find vendors in your area-- hopefully cause its alot more convenient.

Zaino Rules! It goes on easier and lasts longer than anything else on the market!

I have been faithful now for the last year, and it is incredible....

Now I need a bloody digital camera!



It makes my black 1LE look IN-CREDIBLE!

Go here...Very enlightening...

Brian K, check www.ecklers.com

Apone, correct term would be morons. From everyone here, to LS1.com, to camaroz28 forums, to the vette forums. Not to mention almost every other car site there are countless people that use it. Oh btw, it's a polish not a wax.
