| Just wanted to give my opinion on the Zainoproducts. I have 2 silver met. colored Acura's an this product is superb. What i like is the really wet look it give's you after a few applications. I have 7 coat's on my TLS and 4 coat's on my MDX. I really recommend this product i used many product's in the past but i will be sticking with Zaino. f1swede:) |

I think the polish is called Z5 and also the gloss enhaser. I bought the $116 pack from their website the tire dressing is the one i used no slinging on the car after you put it on. Since i have a light color (silver) i was very skeptical about the product. I'm glad i was proved wrong. I'm a detail nut and this is by far the best thing i used as far as gloss. f1swede:D |

| I've used Zaino products since my first X ('04) and I can't imagine using anything else. I especially love the clay bar which removes all the road grime, insects, etc. very nicely. I used Z2 for swirl remover, Z5 for polish, the gloss enhancer, and ZFX enabler. All great products, but require some TLC and time to apply. |

I think it is Z5 that is advertised as hiding swirl marks. |

| Wait 'til you try the CS- It beats every other Zaino product for wet shine. My MDX is so shiny it hurts. |

You add 4-5 drops per ounce of z-2 or z-5 in the mixing bottle they send as part of the kit. Its biggest advantage is that it will haze very quickly (30 mins or so) and allow you to apply up to 3 coats in one day. After each application of polish, follow up with z-6 which is a quick detailer. Or for extra pop, try z-8 in place of z-6 after each coat of polish. The results are stunning.
For anyone that has been mulling the idea over of trying a paint sealant like zaino but is intimidated by the process, it really isn’t that bad and so much easier than traditional carnauba wax. This is especially true after you lay the ground work by stripping any other products off with dawn and a clay bar. Here is a pretty good video on clay. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcZRj509Ir8 |

Thanks bud for the reply. I think this is by far the easiest product i used to date.I was a fan of Meguairs but dont know what to do with it now. I use Meguairs on the roof but that is it. I dont
know how it can "pop" any more than it already is sounds like something i have to try. I can admitt i'm probably addicted to Zaino at the moment.Since i got it i think i have about 10 coat's of Z2 and 2 Z5 on both my TLS and the MDX. I did things a little diffrent to start out i clayed it first and used 3M professonial buffing compound to take the swirls out. After that i washed with Dawn and built it up from there. Remember i have silver color, i can only imagine Zaino on a dark colored car it must be breathtaking. Anyway will try the enabler. Thank's,f1swede:) |
