I just finished 5 coat Zaino-ing SPF1591...The stuff is awesome

If you're looking for the ultimate shine and easy-on easy-off application go Zaino. I put some pics in my gallery but they don't do the paint justice.

My son and I went to the local hamberger joint for their Tuesday night gathering. I'll tell you, of the 70 or so cars there, 1591's paint was among the best.

Try it, You will not be disappointed.

Regards,

Chuck

I totally agree, Zanio bros is the ultimate. This product rules!

Yea the ZAINO BROS. is pretty amazing stuff. When I bought my Cobra it was the product recomended by the previous owner so I ordered the whole line. It really is very good. I would also recommend ZYMOL. It will take your finish even one step further. I recently put my car in a show. Under the very bright lights I found lots of very fine scratches even after using the ZAINO products. Another exhibitor recomended ZYMOL and let me try it. All I can say is that it removed almost all of the very fine blemishes in the clear coat and made the black look even blacker!

I started out using Zymol, then I switched to Zanio Bros, I really like the results with the Zanio! I've never combined the two products though? I might give this a try.

Zaino is good stuff...

Please be sure to buy it from your local distributor. Recently Zaino received an A- in an overall rating all of "finishes" available - this was the highest score given. The reason for the "minus" is it's availability. Most think that it's only available from Zaino via mail/internet/phone order - actually Zaino has a nation-wide distributor channel set up, so please contact your local distributor for fast, convenient and value-added purchases ;-)

Oh yeah, the Nor Cal Distributor is a buddy of mine ;-)

Have Fun,

I've never seen anything with the reflective intensity of Zaino. However, on my black car, while the shine was blinding, the depth wasn't quite there. Then I tried P21S, which did a better job (even over Zaino Z5) of filling in swirl marks, etc., and to my eye at least provided more "depth" to the paint. But it did not reflect like Zaino does. I tried some of the Zaino field spray on the P21S and that brought the shine somewhat closer to the Zaino eye blinding level. Good stuff, and goes a very long way when used properly.

Tom what is P21S? And where do I buy it? Thanx. Rod.

I've been using Zaino's for about a year now and really like the job it does. My question is, can you wax over Zaino's to remove fine scratches?

TOM T,
YOU GOT MY ATTENTION ON THE BLACK FINISHES. IS THE PRODUCT HARD TO APPLY...ZUMOL IS GREAT, BUT ON MY BLACK STUFF...ESP THE TRAILER IT TAKES ALOT OF "ELBOW" WORK ? IM OPEN FOR BETTER WAYS.

I haven't used Zymol, so I don't know how it compares. P21S is actually formulated in Germany, I think. It's advertised in some of the high end car mags, like Excellence and Corvette. You'll also see that outfit's wheel cleaning kits advertised from time to time. However, I haven't seen it much on the shelves at car parts houses. I got mine off the internet---www.performanceproducts.com, along with what it calls a "paintwork cleaning lotion." Ooooh, love those marketing terms. Anyway, it was the only natural wax to score a B+ overall in the guru reports test of 46 waxes and polishes. Zaino (a synthetic), of course, got an A-, even higher. Zaino has a product labeled Z5, which is the polish prescribed to help hide swirl marks, etc. I just found that P21S did a better job of that on my black Z06. If you want to get serious about actually polish out most swirl marks, etc., neither of these products will actually remove the marks. As a general rule, I don't like to cut the paint with abrasives, so I'm willing to live with some swirl marks in black paint, the hardest color to keep looking good, IMHO. Anyway, good luck.
