I think I've Z2/Z6 my car every weekend. Zaino has become an addiction.

I am going inZaino looking at your car. It makes me feel bad about living where I live and putting my car through what he goes every day... I feel like I should go to the garage and put some extra rich gas in the tank rigth after Zaino'ing even the air around it.
I also fell for the false alarm.

Lester · 07-26-2008, 11:00 PM

I couldn't let you suffer alone - so I inZaino'd mine today, Z5 on the tunk lid - then Z2 and CS on the whole car. It took three hours start to finish including a complete inside vacuum, windows and outside wash, dry and Zaino.

Jet Black - and not a swirl mark to be seen.

JohnL135I · 07-27-2008, 01:02 AM

Nice pic in color Lester.:headbang:

My Jet Black 128i convertible is at the Port of Exit awaiting a shipping vessel. I have very much enjoyed reading about your use of Zaino products on your Jet Black coupe. Please tell me what products I should order from them for my Jet Black convertible.

At a minimum - Z2 and CS (Clear Seal). You will need Z5 (offers scratch and swirl remover) for the first time, depending on how your car arrives and what the dealer does to it upon arrival. Also - thr trunk lid and spoiler need Z5 every few weeks - they take a beating on the coupe.

I went for the total protection kit and added the CS.

You will not be sorry. Don't believe those who will tell you that Jet Black is hard to maintain swirl free. They obviously haven't tried Zaino.

Note - other products may work as well as Zaino - but after trying the stuff - I have no need to go elsehwere.

Zaino Total Protection Show Car Kit
Code:ZKIT-1
Price: $84.70

Zaino Ultimate Protection Show Car Kit
Code:ZKIT-2
Price: $116.95

Z-CS Clear Seal
Code:Z-CS
Price: $29.95

JohnL135I · 07-27-2008, 03:29 PM

YoungTurk-

Here's some pics of what my paint looked like after I picked it up from the dealership. This was with no dealership prep. I had to polish the whole car before I used my Zaino.

Please don't be horrified, I'm not saying your car will look this way.

I was horrified, but I was able to polish it out.

esses · 07-27-2008, 06:16 PM

InZain, yo. Can't see a swirl in the after shots. I've lost track of how many layers I have on my car now, my neighbors all think I'm nuts.

PS: GO SUNS! :headbang:

imported_volsfan0911 · 07-27-2008, 09:59 PM

I've been using Zaino for years - no, check that, a decade now! Sal (yes, there is a Sal Zaino - had a Viper last time I saw him) and they do answer all their emails from Howell, NJ. Great company, great products - go look over on www.bimmerfest.com as well for great vendors for the other stuff you need to get the job done right. Detailers Domain has superior MF products IMHO along with great pricing and tutorials, etc. No plug - just seem to be a lot of satisfied Bimmer owners. Zaino is an addiction

or, realistically, a premium product line. It can't cure everything but if used correctly along with proper washing, drying, etc. will make your car look great and lasts a very long time. Excellent bang for the buck and personally, I'll never use anything else.

320Devil · 07-28-2008, 05:39 PM

I'll be taking delivery of my Jet Black 135 in about 3 weeks. Here's where I need some expert advise. I will be getting a clear bra installed on the car at the dealer, but I'm afraid that when I get home to detail with Zaino I'll notice the imperfections under the bra that I won't be able to get to. Will swirl marks after a dealer prep be visible under a clear bra?

desmat · 08-06-2008, 03:42 PM

So for Jet Black, you all use Z-2 (pro?) and not Z-3 right ?
