Talking Harley & 01 XLT can I join the team?

Just wondering if there is room on team Zaino for 1 more? I just put 3 coats of Zaino on my new Heritage edition this weekend and it is awesome!

After the first coat to be honest I did not see what the fuss was about, went on easy came off super easy and had an OK shine. After the second coat I was like "OK I think I can see why everyone likes this stuff." But after coat #3 I was hooked, the shine was fantastic!

I have always gotten frustrated trying to get a good finish with other waxes, it seemed like if it was easy to apply it didn't shine and didn't last. I don't know how it will last but it sure does shine! I never expected to take one of those see yourself in the reflection shots, but I could not resist (maybe I should have cleaned up a little first!).

I will never be in a league with you guys when it comes to detailing, but I think the truck looks darn good with a Zaino shine!

I am in no league like Harley or some of the others, but I sure feel like it with the way Zaino makes my truck look. You will find that the Zaino last a long time. Before winter I applied my last few coats like in Oct and it lasted through all the snow and salt until April or May when I put on some new coats.

I was truly impressed with how long it lasted especially with the winter we had with all the snow and ALL THE SALT...

Let me just say that your truck looks maaaaarvelous! I'm not gonna comment on the Zaino stuff (since I don't use it), but the end result on your truck is pretty impressive. Oh, and I didn't want to forget to say that I absolutely love the Heritage Edition truck. If they made it in a SuperCrew style I'd be in real trouble with the wife!

Greencrew,

you can buy it off there website, no place else though unfortuntely www.zainobros.com You have to print out there order form and then mail it to them, which I think is kinda silly, but hey, if that's what Sal wants, then that's it. Awesome truck thomas, looks sweet as hell ,,,91

thomasj,

Your truck looks super! That certainly is a fine color for the "Z".

I see you live just down the road from me. Therefore, you'll really appreciate the "Z" during those long "salt filled" winter months!

Anyhow, I'm sure the guys will let you join the "Z Team"!

Greencrew:

You might be able to find a local distributor that sale Zaino in your area. I don’t know if Sal has a link on his web site or not to find a local distributor.

I didn’t even bother looking I just printed the form and sent it and the check to Sal. I have to say not only was I impressed with the Zaino shine but their quick turnaround after mailing the form and check. It usually takes less then 2 weeks to receive it from the day you mail it off.

If you have never used Zaino I would “highly” recommend you get the ZFX. If you do, you do NOT need the Z1 polish LOK. Without the ZFX I believe on a good warm day, over 70 degrees or something close to that you are suppose to wait like 6 hours or so in between coat for it to cure correctly. So to do 3 coats would take over 18 hours. (You can find more information on his site www.zainobros.com )

However with the ZFX you can apply another coat as soon as you buff off the coat you just applied. They recommend no more then 3 coats in a day with the ZFX. It is absolutely worth the money especially if you live in an area with a lot of humidity where it can take hours upon hours before the Zaino is dry where you can buff off.

ROUSHFAN-1,

OK, where did you get the little truck? Damn that's cute. Is it a model or something that you built to look just like your (very nice looking) real truck? Did you just leave a real one in the dryer too long? Gotta get me one of those!
