Zaino

(1/5) > >>

Stingraynut:
I've been considering trying some Zaino polish for a long time.

By all accounts it has a very very long lasting 'wet look' and gets better the more coats you apply.

 I took advantage of the Ecklers 10% weekend discount and ordered some stuff, including Zaino but they can't ship it to Aus.

Here's a good review of an independent test of Zaino/Meguirs Gold/ Zymol

and the Zaino website -http://www.zainobros.com

The question is ......does anyone know if we can get it here in Australia ?

Vette Obsessed:
Why can't you get it shipped?

A friend of mine from the states says it is great - as long as you use it on a car which has reasonable paint to start off with.

Stingraynut:
Hi Vette Obsessed, Zaino can't be shipped because it has been declared 'hazardous' by some US department. There's a theory that maybe it comes under the inflammable heading.

I've contacted Zaino to see if there are other ways to get it. I did this also 6 months ago (I think about things for far too long) and they gave me their suppliers name in Singapore - his prices converted much higher than US so I stalled on the project -as you know, I've had plenty of other things to attend to !!

Actually I want to use it on less than perfect paintwork - I've been reading raves about it for maybe 3 years and all point to a longevity of the wet look.

I have some Meguirs liquid gold class and it doesn't last a week - this was supported by the NSX test in the link I posted at the top.

Other people swear by Meguirs or Mothers or something else. So far I haven't found a long lasting wet look for my daily driver. Although the Eagle One car WASH is working better than polish at the moment - sure it only lasts a few days but it's easier to put on the polish which also lasts about the same - obviously my poor paintwork is causing this.

I'm determnined now to get some Zaino.

I realise there are several ways to skin a cat. Unfortunately a Fed Ex jet caught on fire and burned to the ground yesterday so my US mates are not too keen to help.

Grand Sport #357:
Guys, just read this post about not beening able to ship Zanio there. Is there a problem with a private person shipping that over ?  If any of you could find out, I'd be happy to send it to you. You know what different products to use I assume because you have seen there web site. Everyone I know swears by it but I would recomend you clay bar you car also to get the dead off. Let me know if I can help.    Mike
