Default What do I use in a PPW Z?

Is Zaino worth all that effort for a white car? It certinly seems to bring out the shine in the darker cars but white is a differnet matter. Dr Bonz car looks amazing. I almost wish I bought a dark color.

I just got it and it hasn't been hand cleaned yet. It's only been through a touchless carwash a few times and never waxed.

I've been waiting to be sure if I really want to use carnuba wax like I have on most of my cars or go to something more high-tech.

I want to use something that is a UV protector and repells the dust and pollen. And something on the wheels.

Zaino or something else?

Thanks

Zaino will be very slick, very reflective, and very durable. Having a Zaino finish makes the car wash off very easy and to me is a time saver.

I know several folks that will only use Zaino on their white cars.

Nothing is going to make a white (or any light color) shine like a darker color will.

I think the big benefit from Zaino is the durability. I would apply it on that alone.

You can also use the Z on your wheels as well.

Totally depends on environmental issues, is the car garaged, is it a daily driver... But Zaino applied correctly will be as durable as anything out today.

One coat will last 4 to 6 months, over the weekend I had a Zaino user come up to my Zaino vendor booth at the National Corvette Museum and he told me he applied 3 coats of Z-2 in one day and 14 months later after weekly car washings the paint still beaded water nicely. Zaino always trounces all competition in durabilty tests, it far, far exceeded any wax or polished tested in durablity and over all outcome on The Wax Test conducted by www.gurureports.org If you email me: koverall@cddn.com I have a two page scan of The Wax Test showing how Zaino performed and came in number one Overall..........
