I am about to detail but I am waiting for the weather to improve here, that should happen within the next 2 week. Between now and then I have to decide whether to go with the Zaino, or Klasse. Both products are highly recommended, very similar application. They each contain a system of products used to obtain the final result which is unbelievable shine and depth.

I am leaning towards the Zaino, those pics are great Matt. Here is a forum that contains a tremendous amount of info on both products. Just search and you will find it all.

Thanks...

With the ZFX product, Zaino is very easy... No more of the Z1, z2, 12 hours, z2 crap... You mix the zfx and the z2 and it's ready to remove when you are done applying it. I did a coat of z5 (swirl remover) first, and then 2 coats of z2. The pictures are after the first z2 coat.

All waxes look pretty much the same after application. There isn't much of a difference between zaino and the more popular brands initially.

The difference comes later... I wash my car once a week and it looks as good as when I applied Zaino the first time. That is the main difference... With other brands, you will need to reapply every week or 2 to maintain the same level of quality. With Zaino its about once every 6 months or longer.

My vote for Zaino...
It was designed by car detailers (read their site) to be designed for LAZY PEOPLE - that's me!
I've messed with carnuba waxes, and it doesn't last and very involved to put on correctly - see Zymol literature on everything you wanted to know about carnuba.

If I was super rich, I'd PAY someone to put Zymol on my car, but I haven't hit the lottery yet, so I'll use Zaino.

Zaino is one of (if not the) easiest polishes to put on and off.&nbsp After-care of even easier...&nbsp If you've never used it before, you're in for a treat...

Hell, I'm not even getting paid to say all of this!
