Zaino Pc

**Getzen_Guy** · 04-20-2008, 11:37 PM

So about a month ago Preston (Y2kPewterSS) suggested Zaino Bros PC to me, well I finally got to use it today.

well I washed the car and cleaned it all up.
clayed it for the first time.
did the zaino.
used some meguiars Cleaner Wax(Wasn't happy with the strength of the wax)

At this point my car had zero haze...no swirls anything

topped it off with Meguiars TechWax 2.0 and a circular buffer, ran over the car with a "Zwipes" brand microfiber towel.

I can honestly say my car has looked the best it has since I have owned it...

I snapped some before and afters, and will post them in the morning.

thanks again preston!

I guess you better get out there and redo it.

Dawn removes old wax I do believe, makes a nice adhering surface

I agree Mephisto looked awesome last night. Inside and out. the only thing was ur t-tops were smudged from taking them out and putting them in but i'm pretty sure those smudges were the only spots on the whole car that weren't shiny.

Dawn cuts the old wax. You don't want to apply Zaino over wax.

Glad to hear the ZPC worked well and you are happy with the end results.

You should've gone from ZPC to your Zaino LSP right after claying (and wipedown). The ZPC should take the place of the cleaner wax...

LSP is a detailing acronym for Last Step Product, in this case it could be Z2 or Z5

**Y2KPewterSS** · 04-22-2008, 07:54 PM

Z2 would be the LSP then.

Yup. LSP also means Last Step Process. Just a fancy term to refer to a wax or a sealant...

LSP- lick some poon LOL!!!!

The Zaino PC is really good stuff. Ten times better than the 3M products ive been using before it.

The difference is- Zaino is a "cover up" and the swirls will come back while 3M has polishes designed to remove swirls, scratches, and oxidation when used with a buffer and the correct foam buffing pads.

What 3M products were you using? Did you use them by hand or with a buffer?
