Default Zaino Bros #1

Found this article comparing different car waxes over a period of time.

I've never used Zaino Bros before, but after looking around for a while, I'm sold.

Heres the link:

Yeah, I read all the threads on here that even mention Zaino or Meguiers or whatever.. but never a side-by-side comparison.

Guess this one finally proves Zaino is better.. at least to the other waxes in this test

I have used Zaino brothers and for the money I paid (it isn't cheap) I really wasn't all that impressed.

I bought the Zaino, and put it on one time. But I also use detail spray every day, as it is very, very dusty here. Anyone know what effect it has on the Zaino? Does it seal it on longer, or just wipe it off?

I've used Zaino, and all the typical brands (Meguires, Mothers, Turtle Wax, RainX, etc.). I can tell you for sure that Zaino is far and away much better. Your typical wax wears off after a few weeks or so. Zaino last much longer. I'm talking months. Months of snow, rain, and all sorts of filth. It continues to stay on there making the water run off. Not only that, you get a better shine up front and it's much easier to apply (not so thick and tacky).

The only other stuff I've heard of that comes close is S100 which is sold at Harely-Davidson dealerships. I don't have any experience with that stuff.

I've heard a lot of people saying they put S100 on top of the Zaino, and it adds a crazy shine, but the shine wears away quickly.

I'll try it as soon as my Zaino gets here (any day now). I've been using Mothers and Meguiers for a couple years, we'll see how this turns out.

I have used Zaino on my last 3 cars including my xB, and I will never use anything else. If you apply it as zaino recomends including the clay bar as a first step (even on a new car) followed by the prelock(z1), swirl remover(z5)...yes even on new cars..., show car polish(z2), and then periodic quick detailer(z6) you will get a shine that doesnt fade away in weeks it will last for a year or more. to apply it properly will take the better part of a weekend but is well worth it in my opinion.

do some research and you will find tht it is a world renound polish system, that has not had a bad revue to date that I have been able to find.
