Default Zaino anyone??

Hey guys,

Was looking to purchase some Zaino...it'll be my first time so Im going to get the starter kit. Wanted to know if anyone else in our region is out or would like to get in as I want to see if we can get like a GB going. I know we can probably get free shipping b/c we would split the cost among us, but perhaps we may be able to get a better deal!! Please let me know if your interested and we can figure out all the other details later!!

Haha, there's GBs going for everything nowadays. That'll be cool if you can get one going. I already bought the kit for $120 a couple months back and it was worth every penny. I need to re-stock soon so I'll be in for a few items.

My friend is a zaino dealer here in NOVA. He can sell you whatever you need with no shipping costs. He lives in Arlington. PM me if you want his number. If there are enough people interested I'll talk to him about a group buy.

I had both, no comparison, Zaino wins hands down. NXT last only a few weeks, whereas Zaino will last months through inclement weather, ect.

Ehh.. I too have used both.. I think that it boils down to opinion. I cant speak about inclement weather since my Z is only a fair weather ride... But I actually enjoy washing and waxing my car, so I naturally tend to apply wax at least once a month.

The smoothness is just plain gone after a few weeks of Meguiars.

If your short on $ then Meguiars is the way to go, if your budget can afford it, Zaino all the way!

Ok here's the deal with the Zaino. My friend Dave is a distributor for Zaino Brothers' show car polish products. He said that due to the way the distributors are set up with Zaino (how they actually acquire Zaino for local sale) he can't really offer much of a discount. But with the purchase of a kit he can offer a discount in comparison to buying the products individually, and he may take some cost off of the top. Basically there is no incentive for a group buy because he can do just the same individually. Now the product is relatively more expensive than most other products, but I can tell you it's totally worth the money. I've been using Zaino for the past 4 years and I'll never use another product other than. Also it lasts much longer than all of the other products on the market. I bought my last kit about 2 years ago, and I haven't needed to buy anything other than the spray and applicators since.
If you want the Zaino Rep's number please pm me, as I would rather not post it outright.

My Zaino distributor, from this site BTW, gave me free shipping, if that counts for anything.
