Thanks. Some members post photos of a 350Z with 5,000, and the car looks fantastic. No wonder - it only has 5,000 miles!

just wait till you see how long the zaino will last. for sure it lasts way longer than Maguires gold class or nxt.

Thats one of the main reasons i wanted to try zaino, Durabilty. Investing all that time laboring on the car with meguairs nxt and gold class and having to re-wax the car within a month was getting annoying. The car is parked in the garage on a daily basis. We'll see the end result in a couple of weeks.

welcome to the Zaino + SB club! We seem to have alot in common haha, SB + gold mesh club too! I still haven't seen a person who used Zaino and was disappointed by it. Good job!

I'm an official Zaino addict...Z6 is like a godsend for me.

I did mine today and posted pics in this forum. Amazing. The only thing I did different is I put on a third coat of Z5 instead of using the Z2.

Took all day but well worth it.

When I mixed the Z5 with the ZFX per the instructions, I was skeptical that the very small amount would do the job but it did. The guy at LAZAINO spent about 30 minutes on the phone with me and packed and shipped my order as soon as we hung up.

Oh yeah...for sure. I think last year is when the sb+gold wheels fad was in style. Acutally I was going for that mid 80's look for the car since there were a couple of nice ride sporting the color combo. Also, I saw your thread about your Zaino experience....NICE!

Not for sale unless you have another exhaust you have for a trade =).

Yeah that representative was really informative. He really cares about you using Zaino correctly. I saw your thread too...looking great!

This will change the topic a little bit, but how much trouble was it to put those clear front reflectors on? I want to switch mine out to clear but I'm not confident that I can do it without a lift...

Either way, nice work keeping the car clean as hell!
