    Zaino products

    Has anyone used Zaino products on their Corvettes? It was recommended by a friend, but would like to hear from some people who have used it before I try it on my cars. Mark

    The Corvette Forum is full of "Zaino Zombies" as they're called. I would look over there if you want to spend the next 3 days reading about it.

    Frankly I think any quality wax brand/system works well, and the best thing to do is learn one system and go with it. Personally I started on Meguiar's many years ago and it works well for me on the C3/4/5/6s in the garage.

        I use Meguiar's products they give excellent results and are priced fair vs the stratosphere costs of other products.

              Mark, Zaino is the best product I've ever used on my C3, a little goes a long way. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

                I used to detail cars in the summers for some extra $$. I used Maguiars products and had great results. When I got my 2005 Lemans Blue C6 I decided to try their new NXT product. I never really got the results I was expecting from it as it was very blotchy (even after washing the car with Dawn to remove any old wax). I then decided to try Zaino. I spent pretty much an entire weekend prepping, applying and reapplying (if it is humid it takes longer, but they sell a small bottle that will help the products cure when it is humid..........). It came out nice, but I was not blown away as I was lead to believe from other people that use it. I continued to use the Zaino detail spray on the car until I sold it.

                I replaced the 2005 with a 2007 Lemans Blue Z06 (notice the Lemans Blue theme.....). This time I decided to try Adams products on it. I had attended a local detail clinic sponsored by Adam and spoke with him at length about which products to use. Unlike Zaino, I was done with the car in just about 1/2 day and it came out real nice. I continue to use Adams products on the Z06 body and I use the basic Maguiars cleaner / wax on the polished aluminum rims, but the other cars still get Maguiars.

                My .02, your results may vary...........

                  I used zaino yesterday on my car. Today, non stop comments at a car show regarding the paint. I'm sure others are fine but certainly get good results with this stuff. I find it easy on and off plus no residue

                    It appears there are some here as well. I bought into the whole Zaino program but after spending over $100 and many hours of labor, I found it was no better than what's available at the local auto parts store for less than $20 and 1 hour. I sold all my Zaino stuff for less than 1/2 of what I paid. To the OP - save your money.
