Zaino Replacement

[mbpress01]

First thanks to all in advance for responding. Currently I am a zanio user and love the shimmering look it gives my 2014 black Lexus gs350. I usually layer z2, z5 and grand finale. I think their line is fantastic although definitely old school as the line has no new products for a long time or any improvements.

I want to get my details down to one step and was wondering if anyone has thoughts on a replacement for zaino and cost is not an issue. I was thinking with all the hype of hd speed that may get me down to one step with that look but I don't think it will work. If I can't get that look in a one step what is the best aio that will get me close then I can layer it to get the shimmering look.

I also thought Menzerna 3in1 with powerlock and then color lock. But again I am not sure I will get the deep wet shimmering look.

Any thought comments appreciated.

Thx for this. I have seen your excellent reviews of 3d products but have you tried zaino and if so do you get that shimmering amazing look. You can't really tell in pictures unfortunately. If so my ago purchase of speed and poxy will be on the way tomorrow.

I think you will be very happy with products from the Blackfire product line. Particularly their sealant is what I would recommend. Their sealant is really easy to use and a lot less steps.

Try a hidden gem called Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection. Think Zaino Z5Pro and Z8 together. Its much slicker than Z5Pro alone but just as good looking. (crisp, reflective) Its like adding the Z8 Grande Finale. Best part you can use Z8 or something like Prima's Hydro Max as desired to keep it looking good after application, or simply reapply some UPP when wanted.

I had used Zaino for quite some time but haven't in about ten years. If you look at their home page that black Porsche Turbo 911 on their photo page is one I did back in early 2000's.

I think that hood reflection shot answers the shimmering, the flake in that BMW was popping after the two step process. Once you've done that you can maintain it with and occasional coat of Poxy. The Red Camaro was over the house a couple weeks ago and was holding up well, beading was still very strong.

Have you ever tried Zaino AIO?

Have you ever tried Zaino AIO?

I have and I hated it. It was nearly impossible to remove. I tossed it out. I'm not usually really negative about products, but that was perhaps the worst product I ever used. As a matter of fact, that's what lead me to start looking at other products than Zaino about 10+ years ago. Back then I applied it by hand.

I'd say that since you're using several Zaino
products in order to achieve a shimmering look...
Then using just an AIO probably won't suffice, at
least not...I'll wager....for your intended purpose.


•Therefore I'll suggest to use AIOs, such as:
-Meguiar's M66; or:
-Meguiar's D151...

•Followed by a dedicated LSP, such as:
-Meguiar's M21 2.0 Synthetic Sealant; or:
-Finish Kare 1000P Hi-Temp Wax (Sealant)

^^ M66 is a fantastic aio.

I wouldn't get too hung up on "old school / new school", so long as what you have works for you.

Long time Zaino user. Still love there stuff. Been toying around with different products. Simple and easy I really like Klasse All in one. Goes on and off super easy and the Sealer works well to. Just another thing to try if you wanted.

I used Zaino for many years. I never got the super durability from it that everyone talked about for some reason though.
ZAIO was probably my favorite though. It seemed to have more of a carnuaba glow to it than the other products in the line. Z5 Pro was awesome on red though... I really loved Z8 too!

Duragloss seems to be almost the same products,but even better and cheaper.

I would go with Blackfire,Optimum,or Duragloss if you wanted to switch.
