Well I got off my lazy butt this afternoon and got the zaino applied.
To be honest I couldn't notice the difference ... probably because the sweat dripping into my eyes. It was 30c in the shade so it was a damn good work out. You guys didn't tell me Zaino was like every other polish/wax. I felt like Mr. Miyagi was behind me saying, "wax on, wax off". So after washing the car with dawn dish washing detergent I applied the Z-AIO then applied the Z-2 pro. After I was done the painted surfaces wern't slippery like other waxes I've used in the past. Is it suppose to be slippery? My wife returned home and said the car looked spectacular so I guess zaino works OK. Edit: pic of the shine... ya can see the reflection of my motorcycle which was parked about 2m from the car.

Once all is done, for months you won't need any polish, just wash and apply Z6. |

In your pic it looks great, but after I'm done using Zaino my X3 honestly feels like silk. Maybe you left the Zaino sit on the surface too long before trying to take it off or maybe you applied it to heavily. It should go on and off much easier than regular wax. That is one of the things I like about it.

Zaino is outstanding... used it immediately on my 2012 X3 Carbon Metallic Black M Sport... After 5 months, just resealed and polished. I use their car wash and sprintz every week. Simply amazing...

Let me show my car with another similar treatment, the link is to an italian detailer to whom I asked to seal my car with this "nano tech" product: CQUARTZ FINEST. I think I have the glossiest BMW in Rome!!!
Two months have passed and the car is still shiny as after the treatment, water just slips away in nice and circular drops, dirt remains on the car with much more difficulty. See some pics here: http://simone-ilmiolavoro.blogspot.i...tz-finest.html |
