Of course, the only way to ZAINO is with a ZAINO t-shirt!

Nice, I like your radial polish marks on your hood and your vertical ones on the body. Looks goooood.

Does Zaino look good on a Chrome Silver?

If it does wonders on a solid color (especially black), should be perfect for you...

Nice pics! Is that actually how you're supposed apply Zaino on the hood? I just do mine from top to bottom in straight lines.

what happens if you apply in circles? swirl marks? i thought it was the removing that you had to do front/back up/down.

From the Zaino web site: "On top panels, apply Zaino Show Car Polish using front-to-back hand motions. On side panels, use up-and-down hand motions. This helps improve reflectivity. There’s no need to rub hard or long, just apply thin and even coats. Apply the Show Car Polish to the whole car and allow it to haze. Once hazed, you can buff of the light residue immediately or allow it to sit for a few hours or over night."

anyway, this thread needs to move to DETAILNG forum!

Nice result my new Zaino learner, but you are applying it WAY too thick my friend!

You don't need that much! You should barely be able to see it on the car. If you notice, you are seeing a lot of white haze in your pics. It should still look black with only a slight blur. Not white.

It isn't going to be a problem, but you are going to use way more (and thus cost yourself a lot more $) than you need to.

The Doc (70 layers and counting)

Zaino works well on the clear bra, but watch out for the edges, which tend to collect the residue.

After seeing those first pix, I am frightened of what Zaino might do to my SuperBlack finish. Someone better send me more convincing pix of what Zaino is supposed to do. If Zaino turns your paint into an abstact painting of a tumbleweed in a dust storm, then I don't want any part of it.

You can swipe a soft plastic or wooden toothpick along the edge to remove any buildup at the edge.

Were you kidding? His pics were BEFORE he buffed on the dried Zaino man!

Trust me, there is no better product for your paint!
