I have never ever ever ever seen Zaino in stores where I am from. I have never looked into using it. Is this something that has to be purchased online or does my "area" just not sell it at all?

I have a buddy that does my detailing for me. $50 for a claybar, buff, and wax. I don't know what he uses as far as product goes, but you have to be certified to buy it. I'll ask him next time I see him. $50 for a professional detail that takes him almost 4 hours is a deal. Anyone in the northeast area, let me know, he will do this for anyone.

PM me if you want more specific details about what products to purchase, etc. HTH Capitol CEG Classifieds Make an offer! 2005 GTO IBM - 337hp/336tq

Do the pics posted with the nice results only have the Zaino wax...with no other products used with it? -Bishop Invisible Hero 1999 SVT Contour/Amazon Green Keep It Real.

A 3 step with me is $150.00, in whatever variation So it takes him 4 hrs to do your car, he must have a buffing wheel, but that breaks down to $12.50 per hour where if I have to do my "ultimate" it breaks down to a little over $29.00 per hour.

'nother pic bead Previous owner of my 'tour used Zaino, but I haven't been able to keep up with it. I've put some Mothers on it a couple times. Kim 1995 Contour GL Needs less "needs more"
