Default Excellent Zaino review and comparisons

This first review was done to compare Zaino and Meguiars-

http://pages.sbcglobal.net/gheumann/zaino_test/

This review compared 5 different waxes including Zymol, Meguiars, and Zaino (zaino takes the cake!)

http://www.nsxsc.com/nsexcitement/waxtest.html

I know people have been discussing the different wax options so I hope this helps with everyone's decision making process

I've used Meguiar's Gold Class and wasn't impressed at all, I used it once and just about took it back on the money back guarantee, the cheap Zymol looked much better IMO. I eventually got the Zaino and I've been very pleased, don't think I'd use anything else. I think the NSX guy's test was pretty accurate, I've used all but the expensive Zymol.

I think it's time for me to purchase some Zaino. I just wish they took debit/credit cards. Oh well.

I use Meguiars Gold Class and it seems fine to me. I've been meaning to buy some Zaino, but I can't find it anywhere but on their website.

Now Paddy, how do we know you didn't use Zaino on your car and placed S100 on the hood just for the hell of it. The good ole bait and switch.

Looks real good!

Well I went to the local LA distributor (out of his house -- it's funny) and picked up the swirl remover and pre-coat wax, along with some 100% cotton towel (feels REALLY good) and a bottle of gloss/smoothener.

After that I went to pep boys or whatever and spent 25 bucks on 'dress up' cleaners and stuff hehehe.

Saturday @ carson here i come in my old school Lex!

I found an Authorized distributor of Zaino in California that takes credit cards via Paypal.

Question Lvan, where's your "local LA distributor"?

I might want to try some Zaino myself - where in LA is he?

Are his prices the same as the ones on the Zaino web page?

Steve is in the South Bay Area of San Francisco.

His prices are the same as Zaino but he will include some freebees and faster shipping.

Just email him at grzldvt@pacbell.net . He responds fast and is working on my SECOND order already.

I just paypal him and the same day he ships it... by the 2nd day I have it on the Lexus

I'd like to see a battle of the polymer sealants: Klasse vs. Zaino.

I used both Klasse and Zaino... If you take one whiff of Zaino you will be HOOKED... Really. It smells like bubblegum. I just trust the smell because there isn't any hint of something that will mess my car up.
