I just put the first coat of Zaino on my van today and I think it's gonna look better than any wax I've ever used.
A bit of background. I screwed it up a couple of weeks ago and I now have some nice scratches in a few places. I stupidly used a scotchbrite pad on some nasty bugs and other assorted grime and it looked great until it was dry (I almost cried). I got it as part of my divorce settlement (long story) it had not been well maintained by my ex. So I ordered some Z1, Z2, Z5, Z6 and Z7 (which they shipped very quickly BTW and they threw in two applicator pads), hoping the Z5 would erase my mistakes.
Anyway, to make a long story long. I washed with Dawn until it was squeaky clean, then I washed with Z7. Dried it with some nice 100% cotton towels. Applied a very very thin layer of Z1 (thanks for the tips in this forum). Put on some Z5 and some Z2 on the wheels then had some lunch. Wiped off the Z5 and Z2 (I don't like to call it buffing because it was too easy). I would have to say that it looks better than it has for a long time but not up to the shine I want (yet). The wheels look better than they did when they were new.
I'm going to put another coat of Z5 on tomorrow and hope that it covers the scratches better (may have to buff them out). I may put a few more coats of Z5 on before going to Z2 (if it is covering the scratches). I'll post some pics of the final product, with some before pics of the scratches.
I would have to say that I love Zaino and anyone thinking about using it should go for it. It is well worth the money.
