I got a slightly odd Zaino question.

How does it do on chrome? I am not talking about plastic chrome, but real honest to goodness METAL chrome.

I got a Vulcan 1500 (motorcycle) and I will be putting Zaino on all the painted surfaces, but 1/2 the bike is chrome. Will Zaino stick to chrome well? Do I need to do anything differently?

If your chrome is dirty or oxidized... Clean first using your favorite chrome
polish (like Mothers, Simichrome or Wenol)... to remove any oxidation. The
abrasives in these chrome polishes is what cleans and polishes the
chrome and makes it look good. However these chrome polishes offer no
protecion and the chrome will start to get dirty and oxidize very fast. After
cleaning your chrome wheels etc, I recommend the following;

Zaino ZFX enabled Z-2 or Z-5 is very durable and will_ make
chrome more brilliant. And help it stay that way.
Also use Z-6 "Gloss Enhancer" spray
between every coat of Z-2 or Z-5. It really helps give a three dimensional
look. Its antistatic formula will reduce dust and dirt pickup by
60%. Your chrome will stay cleaner longer and look better than
new.

 

The Zaino product documentation says it can go on any non-porous surface - perfect for chrome. Make sure to hit your clean wheels with it too. Makes cleaning them a snap in the future.

The SoCal Zaino distributor, Ira, recommends using any extra polish you have mixed up (like if you're using ZFX) on non-porous surfaces in your house - front panel of your dishwasher, coffee maker, PDA, etc. Makes the surface a lot smoother and easier to clean - and then you're not just wasting the rest of the polish if you have a bit extra.

 

I use it on my chrome wheels, makes them very easy to keep clean and definitely seems to protect them.
