Can't argue with rock solid proof, that's why I love the "quote" button.

Ummm, cry to mommy is a pretty personal, don't be a jacka$$. I mean, you don't hear folks say something like "nothing personal, but go cry to mommy if you don't like it." HAHA.

FYI, The cars were both contours...one was a black 98 with zaino, one was a black 98 without zaino. Blah. Who cares.

all those steps huh? and then reapply right? How about a wash, hit the car with some 3M rubbing compound with a wool buffing pad, then hit it with some Meguiars or similar polish with a black foam pad, medium RPM. Feeling Froggy? hit it with a quick paste sealer wax. Takes about an hour and a half to do a mustang. You can get buffers for as low as $50, the rubbing compound costs about $8 and the polish costs about $8. Blah like anyone is even reading this.

I hear the troops of war all around me...
OH WEE OH.....ZAINO....OH WEE OH....ZAINO

but still I won't give in!!!

Hey man, maybe we can agree on this....turtle wax isn't any good because it discolors rubber and doesn't last long....can we agree on that at least???

Really, who cares? Just my .02... :rolleyes:

I said reaply Z2 when needed. Put on as many coats as you can/want. Then over time when you develop scratches, hit it w/ Z5. That's it.

Claybar once a year. (no matter what wax/polish you use, claying the car yearly ain't gonna hurt)

Not very involved. Each coat will take maybe 2hrs tops when the weather is good, and barely any effort required.

I don't know if it discolors rubber, but I used it on my '87 Topaz, and promptly threw it out. It sucked, and I have used the product.

Just your $.02 aren't even worth $.02.

Congratulations on making the most useless/dumbest post of the day.

No, he already reached that plateau here.

take it from me (have used the product) turtle wax will discolor your rubber trim if u accidentally get some on it. not cool.

[joedirt]Dang brother[/joedirt] at least I'm not the only one getting bashed here for stating opinions.

mwhahahahahahah

John, you are quite being accurate with what is the bare minimum requirements for Zaino.

Just for education since you still don't understand the products in question...

A perfect finish requires a proper base. These steps are the same no matter what final product you use to protect the car. Did you read my post on page 2? I do something similar before I apply my final product on any of my vehicles.

I guarantee it takes less time after the above prep work to put on a coat of Z1, a coat of Z2, then take it off. I can do a Contour sized car in under 10 minutes per step. Call it 25 minutes of my labor to put on Z1, Put on Z2 or Z5, then wipe it off all by hand. I just have to wait for the sealant to dry, an hour to 12 hours depending on weather. But I can do other things so I don't count it as effort.

Once you wipe off Z2 or Z5, you are done for a few months. Nothing extra required. If you want, you can add more coats to either A) hide light swirl marks or B) increase the shine, slickness,and depth. This is a common misunderstanding - "all those extra steps". The only extra step over any other complete detailing process is Z1, which requires an extra 8-10 minutes of the detailer's time.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! $15.5k, for a used contour, that's been modified? ummm yea...keep on smokin. Now that's funny.
