Here's a link to some nutball who tested zaino, Zymol (easy to use, I'm a fan) and others, and concluded that the zymol liquid was almost as good as Zaino, but Zaino was best long tern--for what it's worth. Zymol is good and easy to use. http://www.nsxsc.com/nsexcitement/waxtest.html

I've been using the cheap Zymol (mentioned above) you buy at Wal-Mart for a couple of years. It is really easy to use and it does a good enough job on my wife's car (2002 WRX).

Your truck sure is shiney. If I wash my truck, I consider it a good thing. Its not like I go out looking for ways to get it dirty, but hell its a truck, its going to happen, I just try to keep it dent free.

Well, this thread made me clean my truck today for the first time in about 2 months.

It's no Zaino job but Maguires products always have worked [well] above average for me.

A Meguiar's NXT Car Wash, interior vacum, Meguiar's NXT Tire Cleaner and Meguiar's NXT Insane Shine Tire Coating and to finish off some Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech Car Wax was what I applied.

Just under 90mins from go-to-woah.

6) 2nd Show Car Polish application

Alot of work...HECK yes. Worth it...? I think so.

You should never use dawn or any other kind of dishwashing soap to wash any type of vehicle. Yeah it does strip off wax but also will also speed up the process of oxidation and dries out the paint. You should only use a quality wash solution specifically made for washing cars, and plus these will extend the life of the wax. Claying itself will remove old wax anyway. I don't know why Zaino recommends using Dawn soap anyway. For the misinformation, I don't support them.
But your truck's finish does look good. Just don't wash with dawn soap again or else all that hard work will be gone.

Zaino ONLY recommends using Dawn for the initial washes to remove the old wax. Once you've waxed (or 'polished' as it would be) should be using the Zaino car wash.....obviously if you use Dawn again..you're starting over.

Hey tgt I'm looking to try out zaino.

<--been a huge meguiars client for a long time.

On zaino's site they are reccomending using there new zfx. Is there any reason you didn't use that? I'm wanting to use there latest and greatest to see if there is a difference in meguiars or not.

Thanks

eric
