Wax on Wax off

[tailchaser]

Try Microfiber towels! They work good!

Yes... but if they ever touch ANYTHING other than wax, you'll never be able to use them on paint again. I've got a dozen that are useless because of a dried leaf that snuck in to the towel wash.

I use the 3 step maguiars. I really like the way the car looks when it is done. Sammm, the only paint I got on my towels was from off of the mirrors before they were repainted. I think the EM were clear coated. I might be wrong.

Same here - the only place my Emerald Mica isn't clear-coated on the outside is the mirrors. Maybe they cheaped out on the red ones?

I'm also a big fan of Meguiars. Zaino people are weird.

Zaino people are weird.

Could you call them Zany?

I think my car is pretty shiny.

I use the following:

General Washing - Mr. Clean Auto Dry Wash (Love it!)

I used to use the Zaino wash and a California Water Blade which worked really well but the Auto Dry Wash is easier.

Polishing - Zaino

I used to use Meguires but it is such a PITA to use. Zaino is much easier to apply and remove and the results are as good as Meguires. I never had a problem with the streaks as mentioned until recently.

I wonder if it's either the age of my product (3 years?) or my switch to microfiber cloths. When I used 100% cotton towels I had no problem.

I bought Zaino at a LSMC event. The dealer made a BIG deal about the 100% cotton being the ONLY thing to use. Told me to only buy towels that said 100% Cottton Made in the USA because imports weren't always 100%. He even recommended cutting off the edging material because the thread in the sewing machine is not 100% cotton. He was all about the fact that anything but cotton would scratch the paint. Later, I learned that cones would also scratch the paint, but that is another story.

Only if you hit them....

The original owner of that car used Zymol. I still have it. I used it and Zaino. The last waxing was about 6 weeks ago I think but you know times flys. It was Zymol followed with Zaino ULTRA Clean Gloss Enhancer. It is an anti-static and sunscreen shield.

Zaino is almost no dust at all. Zymol has lots of dust.

Zaino is more labor intensive if you go through all the steps.

But I like to use this product for cone marks.

So can I find Zanio local?

The pointy board also gives rave reviews to Meguiar's NXT wax, although they say it will not last as long a Zanio.

I always had good luck with Meguiars back when I had my Corvette.

[Treibenschnell]

You should be able to find Zaino easily...

Hold on and I'll find you the info.

[Checker]

[Treibenschnell]

I'll be damned if I can find anything other than local (mega bucks at that!) detail shops...

[black roadster]

Used to be a guy in Plano that sold it. Only place I know of is www.zainobros.com

[Treibenschnell]

Yup... there's also a guy that'll sell you a $150 detail service for $165.

His $125 detail service goes for $130.

Go figure...

[onething]

I called the guy I bought stuff from years ago. He's out of the Zaino bidness

[channelmaniac]

Sounds like maybe we could talk Gary into carrying it...

But I like to use this product for cone marks.

Yea I know it's old but I just finished Waxing both the '99 and the '02 with Maguires Gold Class and a micro fiber towel and it worked awsome!
