I've been shirking my duty as far as keeping the cars clean a bit lately and finally went out to wash my wife's Celica this A.M.
A couple of weeks ago she backed into a tree and the left rear corner of the car had scrapes over about a square foot. I wanted to wash the car in preparation for starting the cleanup on the scrape. There are three or four shallow gouges where the paint has been taken right off and about 20 or 30 horizontal marks that I thought would require sanding.
I couldn't believe the percentage of the scrape marks that came off with the washing! Virtually all of it. Obviously it still needs a little light body work, but it was one helluva test case for the Zaino.
There were also a couple of light parking lot scrapes and a place where she dragged the passenger side mirror along a painted cabinet in the garage that washed off completely, leaving no trace whatsoever.
It looks like this may be the real reason to use the Zaino. Mild impacts don't penetrate the paint as easily with the Z applied.
PS: Since I started using the Zaino, I've NEVER had to use any cleaners on the paint to remove bugs, tar, gum, etc. Everything has washed right off!
