Some would rather "fight than switch"! After 50+ application of Zaino, I made the switch to "Autoglym". See products at: www.autoglym.com

"Body Work Shampoo", "Super Resin Polish" and "Extra Gloss Protection". If you can't find it locally, I get mine from Tripp at Speed Dreams Motorsports here in Albuquerque, 505-883-8388. He will ship.

It goes on VERY easy. I used Zaino before making the switch. Some 50+ applications. I was due a claying, so I did that, but it is not necessary. Don't know what wax you are currently using, but I would recommend a Dawn wash. Then wash with "Shampoo/Conditioner".

The "Shampoo/Conditioner" does just that. Add to water what they recommend. It does not make a lot of suds, but cleans VERY well and rinses even better.

Use the "Resin Polish" sparingly. It can be applied in 15 minutes or less. I normally let it dry for an additional 5-10 minutes. It won't hurt to let it dry for hours. Still VERY easy to remove.

The "Extra Gloss Protection" goes on like water. Again, use sparingly, but coat evenly. This you are to let dry for at least one hour. It will dry to a haze. As with polish, it won't hurt to let it dry for hours. I have left it on overnight.

If my "Z" is clean and I want a quick shine, I use the "Instant Show Shine". Make sure you use quality towels. I get ALL my towels from: www.dftowel.com I use their applicator, wash mitt for washing and applying "Extra Gloss Protection" and towel for removing "Resin Polish", "Extra Gloss Protection" and "Show Shine".

Do ask for Tripp and tell him Ron gave you his number.

Just used NXT today!

arlingtonz Jan 4, 2005 11:41 AM

Zaino, Z-2, Z-5, Z-6, NXT for a quick fill

Santacruzslick Jan 4, 2005 05:39 PM

Zaino here...

aznmojo Jan 5, 2005 01:14 AM

Had NXT before... really didnt like the fact that it left some weird streaks. I could get them off eventually but took a bit of work.

Using Blackfire right now, i love the results and the way that it is so easily applied after everytime i wash. Also covers swirls VERY well... not that i have much =P. When my swirls build up i am gonna have to get myself a porter cable.

I just love whoring my pics lol:

I did a 3 step process. Used clay magic, hand glazed with Meguires hand glaze and hi-tech yellow wax.

You can slide a piece of cheese on the hood!

arlingtonz Jan 6, 2005 06:53 AM

i am thinking about going in the direction of a porter cable and some balck fire. what kit did you get from blackfire?

aznmojo Jan 6, 2005 03:12 PM

new car kit... came with some microfiber towels, microfiber applicator and etc. What you really need is the polish and the juice.

Netko350Z Jan 7, 2005 06:42 AM

Anyone try Crystalguard?

I've been a BIG fan of Autoglym. Goes on easy and comes off easy as well. It also gives a butter soft feel and deep shine!
