i use meguiars nxt right now, it seems to work alright. but my question is do you think zaino is worth money for a ppw car? or any suggestions on what might work better for the ppw?
why does everyone ask if Zaino is worth the money? Last time I looked it wasnt expensive by any means. If your poor, eat ramen for lunch for a few days and then use what you have left over and buy some Zaino.

considering i could buy like 10 bottles of nxt, to the price of the zaino kit? and everyone seems to use it on darker colors, hence why i first asked if anyone used it on a ppw car.some stuff is designed for darker colors, but ppw hides swirls,etc, unlike black. i would simply like to know that for 100 bucks is it worthit or is there something that someone has used that works better for ppw, and and i take it by your comment your a zaino user?
I've used meguiars Nxt since I bought my car new and only waxed it twice so far and love the results. In the summer time I maintain it with a california duster and NXT speed detailer. Although my friend with a S2000 is buying Zaino this spring and asked me If I want to try it out with him, not sure If I will or not.

I'd been using NXT on my SB Maxima and liked the results OK, but when I got the MB 350 I went ahead and tried the Zaino kit out. Yes, I am talking about using the products on black cars, but I found one difference between the two lines that would sell me on Zaino for any color car. Unlike 95% of the stuff out there, including NXT, Zaino doesn't stick to the trim, weather-stripping, seals, etc. I was absolutely ecstatic after removing 2 coats of #5 and 1 coat of #2 and finding that I didn't have to go up and down the car with a fine-toothed comb to clean up the residue. I know one could take steps to avoid marking the weather seals with NXT or other waxes, but you can really get a bit sloppy with Zaino and still come out looking clean at the edges. Worth it to me.

thanks mikead 99, some actual info. but im still wanting opinions on people that use zaino on their ppw. its not about the money as i just want a quality product. and if someone feels something is better let me know, i dont care about all the process of the zaino kit, as i feel its like anything else you get what up put into it. so please ppw owners let me know, show some pics
I actually prefer seeing zaino on white and silver cars since its hard to get depth or wetness out of them. Zaino is excellent at giving off great reflections on lighter colored cars.

you can buy 10 bottles of nxt for $25?
I use it on my new PPW, I used it on my old DB also. It definitly made a huge difference on the DB but it also makes a noticeable difference on the PPW. Awesome reflections in the shine, you can see the colors of reflections and it's just awesome. Won't sotp using it.

why is it so cheap? you get what you pay for?
if you know what your doing with zaino and know how little you need to use, you might see more value in Zaino. I use about a bottle cap full for my whole car.

I not wealthy by any means but I do ok. The whole kit? I wouldnt do that. All you need is some ZFX and Z2 Pro. Clay bar then use those two products and you'll be hooked.
