This is a PM I sent to a guy on here a few months ago who was curious as to what to use on his car.
Hi Jack. I wanted to recommend Zaino products to you. I have been detailing for a long time, and I have always recommended that driveway detailers use Meguiars products. However, I came across Zaino products about 6 months ago, and I am hooked. I have always used the professional products from the detail shop where I work to do my personal cars. Not anymore. I only use Zaino now. I really believe that it is the best product to use on your car. Unlike most of the off-the-shelf brands you will find at your local parts store, Zaino is 100% synthetic, and was originally formulated solely for show cars. But like I said before, I will only use Zaino on my personal cars and on personal side jobs I do. Before I discovered Zaino, the only way that I was able to get the levels of shine, depth, and reflectivity up to my satisfaction was through a long process of compounding and machine buffing. However, Zaino offers the same levels of shine and depth without the need for machine buffing, and the shine far outlasts any product I have ever used. Check out their website (
www.zainostore.com). For you, I recommend the Zaino Total Protection Show Car Kit. Here is a direct link:

As you will see, the kit includes a lot of products. Here is what you should do. First, thoroughly wash your car with the Show Car Wash. After you dry it, do a clay bar application using the Clay Bar and Z-6 Gloss Enhancer Spray. Simply spray on a liberal amount of Z-6 onto a small area of the paint, work the clay over the area, then wipe off the excess with a soft, clean towel. Repeat that entire process over the whole car. After the car is clayed, apply a THIN layer of the Z-5 Swirl Remover Polish, using a back and forth motion, not in circles. It is important that you let it thoroughly dry on the surface before you buff it off. I would let it dry on there for about an hour. Then, use a quality microfiber towel to buff off the Z-5. After the Z-5 is all buffed off, apply another thin layer the Z-2 Polish, in a circular motion this time. Let that dry for another hour, out of the sunlight if possible. Then, buff off the excess Z-2 with the microfiber towel. Top that off with a final coat of Z-6 Gloss Enhancer Spray, and you will have unbelievable results. Even better, the more coats of polish you apply, the deeper and more reflective the paint will look. The polishes are chemically formulated to bond with the paint to bring out its shine. I wouldn't spend all this time typing this message if I didn't truly believe in the products. If you have any questions about the products or need any tips on applying them, just let me know. I definitely want to see the finished product.
P.S. - I don't work for Zaino lol
