You're right.. That 3m doesn't do a very good job of getting rid of the swirls, but it did a good job of removing any residue leftover from the Zaino ZPC. That's the only reason why I used it.

love zaino have used it for years, one thing i do is dampen the applicator pad first with water, or Z6 and ring it out thoroughly before putting wax on the pad

I noticed on the website that it says "just put a nickel size dab of polish on the applicator" because a little goes a long way. I haven't found this to be true. It takes almost 2 full ounces to do my car( '05 mustang). When emailed Sal on how much he used he said he could wax a mustang twice with one ounce.

How in the hell am I using so much more than they do? Has anyone experienced the same thing I am? It seems like the applicators abosorb a lot of the polish, so a nickel size dab isn't really working for me.

Does anyone have any advice or tips they could tell me about?

Thanks

I gave this stuff to my son. It was awful! Way to much money for the price. I will stick with meguires.

You must not have used it right. Zaino makes Meguires look like turtle-wax.

Awful becuase of the price or awful because your son didn't know how to use it correctly and so got poor results?

One bonus with Zanio Z2 and Z5 - you can use it on the black plastic exterior trim parts and it'll look fine - you just polish it up - no white streaky residue crap - and none of the dust you get from wax either.

My buddy nextdoor who has always used wax on his 01 Camaro SS dropped by the other day after I invited him to come look at my 99 vette after just 3 coats of zaino. He couldn't believe the deep wet glassy shine. No way would I ever switch back to wax - it's just inferior.

I don't think it's expensive either when you consider how far it goes when used as directed in Zaino's instructions.

Ok...You all, and the website, have my attention. I live in central Texas..and the elements are brutal on cars here especially the hot, dusty summers. So I just placed my order. My plan is to get fresh pics after it arrives and I apply the stuff and re-create profile for stangnet since my car has undergone a couple changes in the last couple months.

Here is a couple of pics of some Zaino on black.. I used just the z2 on my stang and I used Zaino Fusion, along with meguiars #7 followed by some Z2 on my firebird. It doesn't get much better than that... The meguiars under the z2 comes out perfect..
