Default What's with all this Zaino business?

I use Zymol and it comes up a treat. A while ago when at Honda garage I was parked next to another SS which was zainoed according to the mechanic (the owner makes a point out of telling all about it apparently ) and you couldn't really tell the difference tbh.

Isn't zaino about 5 times the cost of zymol so what's the reasoning behind the stuff?

I'm open minded but it seems like you have to wash, dry, polish, wax, polish, wax, clay bar, jerk off, etc. every time it's applied.

I just wash with zymol shampoo then polish with zymol polish and that's it. I've had enough after that and it takes a good 2/3 hours.

someone please explain.

You don't say, Drac? I'd have never have guessed that, given some of the posts on here

I use Zymol too and have been entirely satisfied with it. I think it's just horses for courses - both are capable of very impressive results. Despite what CC, AB et al would have you believe, the finish with Zaino isn't THAT much better than that on a properly Zymoled car.

And that's all from me on this point. I postively refuse to be sucked back into this thread.

Do you feel your car? Does it feel smooth? If it feels silky smooth when washed and you are happy with it then you need not change.

Here`s what I do:

Dry my lips on a 100% microfibre US of A sourced towel. If a single sheet of toilet tissue sticks to them, then they are not dry enough. Spray pressurised Evian onto my lips and dry again. This should suffice. Then, take a single Coolmint Listerine active oral care strip, place on tongue.

I then rub my dry lips upon each body panel. This must be done on your drive in full view of your neighbours. If there is any resistance, it needs claybarring and the subsequent 7 coats of random Zaino sh1t.

I ONLY jerk off on every other coat. I call that the ZS coat. Its makes me happy.

Colin. You just need to sick your fingers in some cellophane and give it a rub FFS.

My ZYMOL finished MCB is smoother than glass.

And that
