Has anyone used zaino?

I haven't used Zaino since the early 2000s, but I remember liking it. The products I tried (don't remember which ones, but I had several) worked well. I have since found less expensive and (IMO) equal or better performers.

Are you filling old bottles of M205 with Zaino products?
 
I tried zaino a few separate times in the past and honestly, I just never cared for it. I eventually just threw it all away. I didn't like the plastic wrap look that the wax seemed to leave. But I know there are people that are out there that swear by it...much like the crowd that loves liquid glass. I did like Zaino's quick detailer however.
 
I've used the whole product line and the Z2 and Z5 combo does bead like crazy, but for the best result you have to use the ZFX which is a pain (if you are like me and hate wasting product). I did like their detailing spray , leather stuff and their clay, but there's a few products I could not care to try again..... but I am an AG convert and like to try a variety of different stuff.
 
I haven't used zaino, but I have used Duragloss which is way cheaper and from my understanding they have a lot of products that are nearly identical.

Btw duragloss rocks.
 
I used some of its products. Durability is hard to beat. I have never used the impossibly price coating so I cannot compare Zaino's to that stuff, but in terms of most sealants and waxes Zaino's is the longest lasting.

It has a great gloss, some people call a Plastic look. If that troubles one top it with a wax for a warmer look.

Pricing is about the same as the stuff that AG sells.

Sal Zanio is a very nice guy. He will answer all your questions.
 
I used zaino for many years and was really pleased. Long lasting and I liked the looks. Sal was a big help on the phone. I bought a new black truck last year and in spite of several attempts with z, I could not get good results. The sealant would not buff clear. Upon discovering AG, went with wolfgang and problem solved.
 
Duragloss is a great replacement for Zaino. The LSPs aren't identical but DG105 looks very similar to Z2. DG111 looks identical to the OLD Z2, pre PRO version. 101 and ZAIO are nearly identical.
 
Doesn't Zaino contain fillers in their "polishes" ? I could never quite grip Sam's terminology of his products.

IIRC, they really don't have any products that actually perform paint correction. Am I mistaken?
 
I've mentioned before that:
-I've used a few Zaino products (that were purchased by some of the Club's members).

-Probably the best compliment, that I've personally have heard that was given to the "Z"...
was by one of the Club member's wife when she said:
"My favorite color, from now on, will be": "Shiny"


I've discovered that some of the other "acrylic sealants" are a joy to work with...
(with my visually-noticed: sheen, shine, shone...'gloss-attributes'.)

-Dura Gloss #105 (crystal-clear bright shine..."Zaino-ish")
-Klasse (more of a crystal-clear "glow/sheen")
-Jeff Werkstatt (same as Klasse)
-Sonus Acrylic Glanz (just for the name)
-1Z Einszett Glanz Wax (not a sealant...again: just for the name)
-Glanz Catsuits: (Just for a couple of the definitions for Glanz):



:D

Then you'd like Duragloss Fast Clean & Shine even better, since it's much cheaper.

Are you comparing the Duragloss Fast and Shine to Zaino Z6 or Z8? I really, really like Z8 and IMO it's one of the best quick detailers out there.


I have used a lot of Zaino products. My wife dubbed last year, "The Summer of Zaino" because it is all I used on my car. I put a layer of Z2 on after every wash and the car looked awesome. Plus, all that Zaino did form a scratch resistant barrier as the swirling/marring on my black Audi A7 was very minimal after a year of wear and tear.

I would compare Fast Clean & Shine to Z16. Z8 is closer to Aquawax. I would not consider AW nor Z8 a QD.
 
I've used it as well I really liked the leather stuff and the glass polish was great for super clean windows. I made the mistake of using the glass polish on my side view mirrors and the headlight reflections were so bright I had to turn my mirrors down. Never tried to correct paint with their stuff but looks and durability wise its good but I agree there are other cheaper alternatives that look as good and last at least as long.

As far as I'm concerned, FC&S IS Z-6. Z-8 is more like concentrated AquaWax.

Z-16 is the tire dressing.
