The "new Guy" wax Was nice. easy to take off. I normally use a Orbital buffer(I'm lazy) but with this stuff I did not. I wanted to see how Easy it was. Even though I put this stuff on thick, in High heat, it came off ALLOT easier that the Gold Class.

I did not strip of my old wax, clay bar, Or anything special. I just washed, and wax with this new stuff. Now I have never use "the Force" (Zaino) or anything else. But I think this stuff works Great. It might not be The "best stuff ever" but, it is a good product.

Thanks a lot chazz G!! You finally got the product... I will be talking to my friend this friday sorry but the wax thing isn't my life like most of you guys... And like I said before, I wouldn't be able to provide everyone so call it a scam... DAMN DUDE Your car looks hella good!! I think you did a better job than me, maybe I need to do it in direct sunlight.. Well, thanks for your fair test and I appreciate you taking your time and taking pictures... I just laugh at how most of you guys just attacked me I almost felt like I was being the manufacture and everyone was hating... Im just a Z enthusiast showing a cool product to my fellow Z members but most were un appreciated... Anyhow, chazz if you need more buddy let me know

Well after reading the long thread, part of it is your fault (wicked). Been misterious about things only gets people to become "defensive". A bottle of "milk"....

I for one would be willing to try it on a Redline. I have Zaino on now, and I love it, but hardly find the time to do it. I like the results I see on these pictures. But then would be worried (like many) on how would I get more later.

I have other hobbies so I only detail the car so that it looks good, it is not my therapy. I didn't trust others to do it, so I did it myself but rather not. If I could find a local Zaino detailer I would let them do it for me...

I was at the local car wash with my Expedition the other day and the local "detailer" also had large 5 Gal jugs of "creamy stuff". It dried very fast (they don't have a lot of time to wait) and the results on an old white caddy were pretty good. I figure with better care, clay, wash, and prep the stuff would work very well on the Z.

Anyway, don't feel bad. You provided partial info, people are sceptic, its the nature of the web.

I re-read my posts.. How was I being misterious when I was even letting people try the product and post their opinion here on the boards? The only thing I don't know is the name, and its not me being misteruous its called he is a truck driver and is not at home 24-7, and when he is home he is out with his family wife and kids. I should see him this weekend and I'll snap some pics of the bottle, quite frankly I didn't care what it was called I saw the results and that's all I care. Why would I care if I can't buy at pepboys...

Chazz, did you do your windshield with it too? If not, did you notice that the sky reflected just as well in the glass as on the roof.

Just an observation. The car does look very good however.

Well My windows are tinted (not the front one) and I have the Carbon Leather (so it really dark in the Car) Does not a piece of glass with a dark back ground act kind of like a mirror? Does your Paint Reflect better than your Windows? And I Do use Rain-x on my windows ( it's basically wax) Maybe thats Why????

2nd that, too much hucksterism going on here..........

AND, a truly unbiased report is always available from Consumer Report, and while I havnt tried the product, they claim Zymol (I hope I spelled that correctly) is the best. They also stress they see no benefit (or VERY little) from "layering" the product as claimed by Zaino fans. I know of no more unbiased rating as those from CU.

First of all, let me preface this by saying I read CU and it is good, BUT.....CU only tests a small portion of what is out there and they only test mainstream, easily available, "over the counter" products. They would never test a product like Zaino as it is not a product you'll see in an advertizement or on the shelves of a store.

For example, do you think CU would ever do a comparison of superchargers for a 350Z, or for a CAI for our car? The interest for the readership of a nationally circulated magazine just isn't there.

In this case, CU is not where I would look for this type of product. The Guru reports on the other hand, is. They look at DETAILING products only. They are, like CU, unsponsored and not supplied with products from the manufacturer.

Also,CU tests are, for the most part, done by regular people and not specialists in the field of what they are testing.

Finally, as far as layering a product, I agree, layering a WAX is not a good thing. You'll just be building up a think layer of something that hides your paint's true quality. Layering a POLYMER SEALANT on the other hand IS beneficial. CU needs to make that distinction.

BTW, mrice, are you agreeing with the guy who said I have no life or are you agreeing with me about the hucksterism? I wasn't clear on this.
