Bringin' back the shine of my BB FD with Zaino (pics)

Yeah yeah, I know this is the third thread in the past week with pics showing the beauty of Zaino wax. Well I don't care and I'm going to post my car anyways. This is the original 65k mile '93 BB paint. It had lost some of its shine over the past year I've had it and I wanted to bring it back. Zaino Bros. was the recommended wax by many people on this forum so I decided to use it. I bought the beginners kit for about $85 and it was definitely worth it.

Thanks for the replies. I bought it from www.zainobros.com

You apply it by hand. I know nothing non-mechanical-wise about cars and this was extremely easy for me. All my questions were answered on their website. It tells you exactly what you need to do.

These are very poor pictures, I can't wait to take some good ones with a good camera with some good backgrounds sometime this week.

Zymol impressed me on mine a couple of weeks ago. I thought they were all the same, but I was wrong.

I use Zaino Bros. on my Rex too! I highly recommend the stuff. Does a great job. Their leather conditioner works great too and has a great leather scent.

Very nice pics.

You don't have to spend a bunch of money to use Zaino. IIRC, I just bought the polish lock, and the polish for about $20-25. That was a couple of years ago, and I still have more than 1/2 of the supply left.

the bad thing about zaino, is if you dont keep using it, it gums up when it gets hot and you can smear it around when it does so...

I have been using it for over 2 years, and never had that occur.

Just got a bunch of zaino stuff. Never heard of it before a couple weeks ago but saw some people on here using it and their cars looked great. My brother heard about it on Stangnet since he is getting an 05 Mustang GT so we both chipped in and got the beginner kit to share since we will be living in a townhouse together (finally moving out of the dorms). I think I am going to try it on my motorcycle this weekend since it needs a good cleaning and will use it on the 7 once I get it back in running order.

What are you talking about?

Zaino is one of the best, if not THE best car polish/wax on the market. It's not THAT expensive. It is easy to apply and lasts very well. Pictures of my car with Zaino can be found by following the link in my sig.

For all you Zymol diehards: http://www.nsxsc.com/nsexcitement/waxtest.html

That's about as objective as it gets.

first off, beautiful car... I likey likey...

but then, like the couple of guys in this thread earlier, I'm a Zymol man... cheaper than Zaino, one step, and even in the waxtest, finished a closed second. The stuff is readily available everywhere, and I think has the best shine I have seen. I tried all the other stuff, but nothing compares to Zymol. Now Zaino might be better, true... but by how much? If someone can convince me to switch... I might... see my VB garage for pics. That was from the very first Zymol application only...
