fayte Window Washer	hello i recently came accross a wax that made my tc look so good (as if that was even possible) the name of the brand is called zaino bro. this wax is unbelievable and is very easy to use it comes with lots of instructions that explains the dynamics and the nature of their wax and how it compares to other brands...... see what makes zaino so differ is that it is a synthetic polimer polish or sumin like that people this stuff i insane check out their site at www.zainobros.com and see for your selfno self respecting tc owner would be without this in their arsenal

unseen Hampton Bays New York, US Master Mechanic	how is this wax applied, is it rub on? i currently use turtle wax blah blah type, its ehhh. i would like something that really works, and is somewhat not as lengthy of a process. just seems like the turtle wax doesnt distribute evenly.

Don-t know about websites, but pretty much any place you can buy car cleaning stuff should have it.

sdparks Oil Changer	Yeah, Zaino is incredible. I used it on my SW tC. I put it on all the glass, lights, fender liners, wheels... If you can reach it, Zaino it!I bought the entire Zaino kit, which works out to a little under a hundred bucks shipped. Worth it. Order directly from their website.On sunny days I have to walk up to the car sideways because it is too damn bright.I-ve tried a lot of waxes and finishes. Zaino is on a different level.

swede Window Washer	Hi all, I manage a detail shop in OKC, OK. We apply Zaino treatment for $99.95 It-s a lengthy process...5 coats in all (3 of Z5 and 2 of Z2). This stuff is worth twice of what the msrp is. You will not find anything better. If you don-t want to fork over the dough for Zaino then use Meguiares profesional series #26 high tech yellow wax. It-s second on my list of the best. Throw the turtle wax and simonize in the trash. That stuff is so low tech and dated. Hell I-m 36 and I didn-t even use that stuff when it was supposed to be good....Damn I just dated myself didn-t I...Oh well. Yea I-m old school but I still love my tc......ooops I mean our tc. sorry honey!

krzy Window Washer	You-ll see lots of posts here from lots of people touting different waxes and polishes. The majority of them do make the car shine like crazy. There are a few key things to consider. First is preparation. If the surface is like crap, all you-re going to get is shiny crap. Make sure you have prepped the surface (claybar does wonders). Second is the longevity of the product you-re using. Here are a couple examples of my freshly treated hood:NXT tech wax:Pretty impressive, but i-ll get to that later.Here-s one of the only shots I have of Zaino. The picture really doesn-t do it justice since the day was overcast. Look at the detail in the reflection of the house next door.Still very impressive. In reality, they both provide the same level of -shine- and -sparkle-. There is however a CRITICAL difference.30 days after that pic was taken, the NXT was no longer beading and the surface was not as silky smooth as when the NXT was applied. I-m sure there was still some protection, but the ability to keep crap off the paint was pretty much gone. 2 months ago, I put Zaino on my wifes Camry and even today I noticed how strong the shine was. We had rain last week and it was still beading like crazy.Whats the difference between the two? Longevity. The Zaino just lasts longer. I can-t say that it looks better or worse when it is applied, but I can say that it doesn-t need to be applied as often. Take from this what you will, I-ll stick to the Zaino and use the NXT while I-m waiting for my next shipment of Zaino.

sharke7 Oil Changer	I use NXT Tech Wax and have been very happy with it, however, I-ve heard nothing but great things about Zaino. I may try it out when I get my next bottle of wax.
