My 2000 SVT, 1 week before I sold it (1.5 years of abuse later). Stripped, clayed, 1 coat of Zaino Z2.
No BS. I used to use Meguires religiously. I had a full stock of their products, including Gold Class wax, High-tech Yellow wax, the various polishes, the clear-coat scrubber, the vinyl/rubber dressing, the tire gel, the car wash, etc... I swore by the stuff and thought it was great. I heard about Zaino on the internet, and it peaked my curiosity. I was perfectly happy with Meguires, but keeping an open mind as always, I ordered some Zaino. A week later I had my Z1, Z2, Z6, Z7, and leather care products. I stripped the car and clayed it. I proceeded to use Z1 and Z2 on it. I was amazed at how easily it went on. No pressure needed, I didn't have to massage it into the paint. It dried within 15 minutes and I took it off. Again I was pleased at how easily it came off. After that I backed my car out into the driveway (and in the sun) and was shocked at how great it looked. As good as I though Meguires looked before, Zaino looked even better. The paint actually felt smoother as well. I ended up giving about $30 worth of partially used Meguires wax bottles to a neighbor of mine. I kept some of the polish bottles for paint-prep use, and of course I still use the tire and vinyl care products. Other than that, I use Zaino on my car. It just works better, period.
