hey guys and fellow zaino users...

i have been using z16 for a couple weeks now and am not as pleased as i thought i was gonna be in terms of the longevity of the shine. i wash my truck every friday and use the z16 then. it lasts pretty well through the weekend, but by tuesday, it looks like *****, no shine whatsoever. the way i have been applying it is using the eagle one tire swipes. i go around and do all 4 tires, and then i go around and hit it with a light second coat. the stuff dries fine and looks great for a weekend, but i would think that the stuff would last longer???

I've yet to find a product that lasts very long on tires. On it's own, the Z16 holds up a little better than some, but not much. However, here's what I do to keep the tires looking better for a longer period of time.

I clean the tires really, really well. Then, I apply a coat of Meguiar's Endurance Gel. Let the tires dry for a few hours, lightly wash off any excess Endurance with some car wash suds, and let dry. Now, apply a light coat or two of the Z16. This seems to keep the tires nice for a longer period of time.............. at least for me.

Hope this helps.

 

I haven't had any problems. I do a coat after i wash the truck once a week, just let the tireshine sit on the tire (excess evaporates) and the shine will last me through a full week, also through rain if i don't drive during it.

Plus, i'd rather have to apply it more often, than some tire shines where its oily and seems like it will NEVER all come off

 

For me and the way I use the Z16 it last for what I call a long time. A long time is 4 - 6 weeks.

I only do the one coat because I do not like "shinny" tires but more the natural look, or a satain look. So I can't speak to how well it last as far as shinny.
