:roflpuke2: That was taken after I finally got the myself back on two feet after the Yellow Z accident.....yes, two different shoes! And I usually tie my hair back but for that one.....it was all for show! :p

:icon08: Yes, I did......ugh! :p

dont lie.... u wanted the wind to go through all ur hair for the pic but the breeze never came.......

:eek: How'd you know? I had the camera on the 10 second timer and actually the breeze came at the 11 second mark. :shakes head:

Yes Zaino is very expensive. The car wash liquid should be in a bigger bottle. I found it did a pretty good job though. I haven't used it on my Z yet but on my other car for a trial run. I brought one of the Zaino kits and also a bottle of the tire cleaner stuff, and a few microfiber cloths. The dealer wanted to sell me their car protection stuff but I thought it was a rip-off. At the end of the day I think the owner of the car would do a better job because they care a lot more about it. One thing I didn't like about zaino is that it was still in ounces measurements (fine if you live in US but Australia doesn't use ounces).

Should I claybar my Z? I'm wondering if it's necessary considering it's near brand new. I'm just scared of scratching the paintwork with it. I'm thinking it might do more harm than good.

u should clay bar it when its detailing time.

has anyone used RejeX? they say it's a good product .

I just hit 2k on my Z and it's time for a full detail. We've had a lot of rain over the past few weeks, but I'm hoping it will be gone soon. I've read the full write-up on Zaino and it was very helpful, but I'm thinking about just ordering some Griot's product due to a recommendation from a guy I know. I'm sure it will take the better part of a day, but based off of what I've seen when my car is clean(er), it should be worth the work. The fact that I only need a full clay and seal every few months makes it tolerable.

how does zaino require more time than meguairs?

i think it uses the same ammount of time to apply both.

Meguiar's Direct NXT Generation® Tech Wax® 2.0
Tech Wax 2.0 $17.99

Z-2 $14.95
ZFX Flash Cure Accelerator Additive $19.95
then add sh.

It actually cost alot more than what you implied.

If you want to layer your car to make it look very wet i think zaino is the way to go. Or if you just want longer protection then its also the way to go.

It defenitly can add up in cost. I think its worth it though. I love how deep my car shines.

Clay it, especially when new....

You can get away without claying it after that, but when brand new, clay it to get all the junk out of the paint, then polish it, then wax it.

Zaino goes a very long way. 1 ounce I think would be enough to do the Z.

i think from what i've heard as long as im not getting ripped by the dealer for paint protection, but saving a huge amount from an outside source its worth getting... as they have a color riviver to polish car with aswell, still not sure whether or not when that they do the heat process to the paint to make the ming finish hardin, does it make the paint more suceptable to stone chips? as there is'nt as many layers as eg people with zaino... anyone with that kind of experience

no matter how many layers of zaino you have, you will still get a rock chip.

zaino is not a fix all cure all.

Its bonus is it lasts longer than any thing and the layering system offers results that almost nobody can achieve from what i seen.

so in your opinion the zaino is better then the meguires nxt gen as you posted above? i just think the zaino steps woul;d take to long?
