Why do people brag about how many coats of wax they have?

Also, I detect a misunderstanding in your post. Just because a lot of people like to frequently layer Zaino doesn't mean you really need to. You could wash with Dawn, claybar, Zaino (best to do two coats to start) then only add a coat of Zaino every 2-6 months and you'd have a great looking car! A coat of Zaino only adds an hour or so of work on top of a good normal washing. It's pretty quick & easy.
PS: bhobson333, why do you use 5w30 instead of 10w30? is that what the car recommends or did you do that for colder climates up north?
Here's a clip from the Owner's Manual; 5W-30 is the preferred oil:

bonz always gets in arguements with people about his super zainoed car. and, whenever anyone has a different opinion about another type of wax....well, it's never as good as his car according to him. not like i care...he can spend as much money as he wants on zaino. i think CG is just as good...if not better. but, like i said before...that's my opinion. he likes zaino...i like CG.
leave it at that.

I was very happy with the way my car looked before I switched to Zaino (was using MaQuier's). There is a very noticable difference after just 2 coats of Zaino. I have before and after pictures, but it's pretty hard to see the differnce by looking at them. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the Zaino looks much, much better. I used Z5 for both coats and all of the swirl marks are GONE.
I want to thank Dr. Bonz for all of his clear directions and his continuing willingness to answer any questions - Just don't drink any more of the stuff - can't be good for the liver.

i've posted plenty of pics that look awesome and i'm not even trying to post the car shine. half of my pics are in cloudy weather and it still looks perfect.
whatever...this whole wax **** is old. it's been going on for ages...and i could care less about zaino and how many layers people now have. good luck trying to get to 10000 layers of zaino...i'm sure you'll do it!
i'm done with this thread. these wax debates are old. next people are going to start talking about the chemical compond in each of them. have fun.

At least Dr Bonz has tried both products and made his decision based on the output. He doesn't brag about his car.. its more of a running joke. Maybe you are just too defensive to take the subject lightly?
No one says you MUST put endless layers on to use the product.. Bonz just enjoys playing with his car. Personally, I have two coats of Blackfire on, and it serves me well... doesn't mean I need to go start shine pissing matches with people.

djkern,
Where is all this anger coming from? Are you not getting enough fiber in your diet? Or are you always an azzhole? Maybe you just have a really bad temper because you were the fat kid that always stayed at home and played on the computer while all the other children where outside? So are you a real Dj? Do you Dj at the old folks home? lol
Nothing but love for you

fat kid. haha...i've never been the fat kid. i can't gain weight for my life. i'm about 5 foot 8. 150 pounds. and about 7 or 8 percent body fat. if i could gain weight...i would. i'd love to be 175 or 180 pounds at my height. but, it's too hard for me. i end up spending too much time in the gym and feel like a gym rat. but, i did lose 10 pounds in the last few months. haha. when i was 160...i was a lot bigger...but, i'm not into the gym as much anymore...so, instead of being in there benching 325 (which yes, i did at 160 pounds)...i'm at home playing with the puppy and spending time with my girlfriend. so, no, i'm not fat. but, thanks for the concern.
and, no, i'm not a dj...those are my initals. the only music i make is when i'm screwing around on mixman playing on my computer. but, i have no time for that anymore since i'm working all the time. but, those are my initals....no djing reference at all. but, thanks for asking anyway. haha.
edit - the 325...i only tried that one time...that wasn't a regular thing i did (too stressful on my joints)....but, i would do 255 for 10 reps regularly. and easily use the 100 pound dumbells regularly.

As for who's car looks better, my vote is Bonz, but I really havent seen any clear pics of Dj's. Whether people think he is bragging or not, his articles have helped numerous people on this site, including me. His pics show it all, the car glows more than any other one I have seen, and Zaino has nearly everything to do with it. Not to mention the hard work Bonz puts into it.

djkern,
I think you're suffering a sever case of ***** envy, in this case towards Bonz's car. I've seen countless thousands of 350Z pictures, some with multiple layers of CG, Zaino, Klasse, whatever. However, there are no cars that compare to the doc's. Just go back and look at that picture he posted. It's a PICTURE and the car looks like its made of freaking purple mirror. I've seen CG'ed cars before, and they don't even really fit in the same category. Now, granted, maybe Bonz's car isn't a fair comparison of CG vs. Zaino, but that's not what you were trying to argue about. You were arguing your car vs. the doc's, and I think until you post some pictures, you better step down.
