Just Ordered Complete Zaino Detailer Kit

feelzpwr91 · 01-27-2010, 11:56 PM

I've always used Meguiars for all my car cleaning/waxing/polish and over all detail. Ive seen great results from Zaino on the Z. Many people on this forum are using it so thats where my persuasion came in from you guys. Soon as i get it i plan on going to work and posting Pics.

This was my last detail using meguiars ( the link is my product thread) Paint issues/Solution

I've been using it since my last z, the car wash and z7 are great stuff. When it gets warmer I'm planning to clay my car.

I've tried Zaino as a professional detailer, I've actually came to conclusion they're very overpriced, the only thing I find Zaino useful for is the Z7 car wash shampoo, high lubricity and it smells good, other then that I use chemical guys, menzerna, and other better products out there to seal and wax your vehicle.

out of Chemical guys and menzerna what do you think is better?

StealthZ · 01-28-2010, 01:54 PM

menzerna polishes are awsome. Chem Guys got a lot of great products, I think everyone needs to have some from both.
Chemical Guys:
Citrus wash(my favorite for getting all LSP(waxes/sealents off)
wash and glass/clear
bare bones
fade 2 black

Menzerna:
Polishes are great like SIP, PO85RD to name a few
Full Metal Jacket is an awesome all around sealant. Great on lighter colors alone with out any wax, I use it on glass too. works better then rainX.

Kyle@STILLEN · 01-28-2010, 02:21 PM

Have you guys ever used Adam's? I have tried just about everything and I have found that Adam's is the easiest to use and offers the best shine. Zaino is good if you want to spend a huge amount of time and numerous steps but I'm a big fan of how easy the Adam's products are to apply and remove.

I have a lifted 2007 Tundra as my daily driver and I was able to wash, clay bar, polish, and wax the entire thing in just over three hours.

JakeZ34 · 01-28-2010, 02:41 PM

Chemical guys have a lot of great products such as citrus wash and gloss, jetseal 109, synthetic quick detailer, E-Zyme wax, interior cleaner, pro-polish. The good thing about menzerna is their polishes, they cut through all kinds of surface defects such as deep scratches, swirls, and oxidation. Pro-polish from CG does minor scratches and swirls. If you want to detail your cars, you pretty much have to have some of each. I will post some pictures of my supplies.

and to Kyle, I have hung out with Paul from CG in person, from what I heard, they also manufacture Adam's Polishes product, Adam's polishes looks good but I have not yet tried it. I have wayyy too much detailing supplies that I have to knock some down first LOL.

dang that's a lot of stuff you got there.

this is all i need...

ltp · 01-28-2010, 03:44 PM

I have used Zaino for 10 years and very happy with it.
My oldest car, 2002 MDX, is still looking shiny - people think it's only a couple years old.

I would put 3 coats of Zaino when the car is new to give the car a good thick coat of protection.
After that, just once a year will keep it shiny on every wash.

JakeZ34 · 01-28-2010, 03:51 PM

heheh kenchen I do professional details on the side as a hobby.

Kyle@STILLEN · 01-28-2010, 05:38 PM

That is a very nice kit you have there Jake!

You might be interested in stopping by our Detailing clinic on February 27th. Obviously you know a lot about detailing but we are going to have the crew down from Adam's to give a clinic on how to properly wash and detail a car. You might find it interesting.

BLUESLATE · 01-28-2010, 06:28 PM

Damn... I wanted to attend it last time, but couldn't because of the stupid rain. As much as I want to attend your next one on the 27th, I won't be in OC because of the Wekfest in SF. Hopefully, you guys will have another one coming up soon enough.

Kyle@STILLEN · 01-28-2010, 07:58 PM

We will be having them monthly! Everyone is more than welcome to come down and check it out!

You should have come to our one on the 16th!!! NO rain, beautiful weather, and 50-60 people showed up!

STItoEVOX · 01-28-2010, 09:09 PM
