Default Zaino

I have given Zaino a full year to prove itself , using solely their products .

Last week i got tired of seeing the fine scratches and swirls which are quite evident on a Berlina , they are there on all the cars but they show up on Black, so it was time for fairy liquid and a Zaino bodywash and rinse .At this stage the car looked a deeper black than i had remembered it looking ever, so a quick detail of the gloss enhancer and she looked showroom .

Last few days i washed her down with the body wash again and then then applied a coat of ..............autoglym , followed by the super resin polish , followed by another gloss enhancer and then a coat of P21s.

Sorry you zaino dudes , but this is the best she has ever looked imho of course .

I will not bother with zaino polish and swirl remover again , and as for the clay bar , i think the first coat of autoglym does the same job .

Having to pish around mixing zx and washing out the mixing jar is a bridge to far for me .

The body wash , tyre black and gloss enhancer are fantastic products and i will continue to use them , along with autoglym and the P21s .

I have a just about unused clay bar if anyone wants to make me an offer .


I havent posted pics as i feel they are meaningless

Wouldn't mind trying Clay bar ?!? How much ??

Think the car could do with all the crap stripping off it, but yes was looking at Autoglym / Meguirs myself as well.

I've not been overawed with the Zaino stuff myself, perhaps I simply don't have the patience to build the layers up. However, I really could appreciate what cack the claybar removed so I'm surprised that's the first thing you've discarded

working from home i get plenty of time to build the layers , and yes it does look good when i have finished a session , but certainly no different to what i have just achieved .

I think the autoglym removes traffic film just as well as anything else., mind you , our car only has 9k otc and doesnt do dirty commuting roads so probably wasnt too bad .

cant remember the cost of the clay bar , but just pm me a 1/2 reasonable offer and its in the post at the weekend

P21S is the way forward

Clay bars are brilliant for smoothing paintwork, no liquid stuff can match. Clay bars come into there own at the end of the summer with the dried on flies.
