OK...I'm so impressed I've posted this everywhere...I have tried almost every top brand of waxes...P21S, Rejex, NXT, Meguiars, FK1, etc. I just did the full Zaino "thing" (inspired ny Virtigo). I am amazed. The depth of shine...awesome. I went for a ride and got bugs all over the front..they just wiped off. I am a true Zaino convert! Granted it took a fair amount of time ( let me know if you want my process). Here are some pics...better resolution on my link. I'm a lousy photographer BTW.

Being using Zanio for 14 years welcome to the club.

tell me how you did this...I want to convert...I've got a black P cab and need a little extra shine!! Doesn't matter how much work it is...it is very stress relieving to get the P looking nice!

I'm a big 3M fan... and it works great on black. All this Zaino buzz is tempting though, especially because people seem to flip their lid on it, hmm....

I have used Zaino on different cars for about 8 years and it has always been the longest lasting polymer I have tried. On darker cars I have learned that you have to polish the swirls out of it first, any really deep swirls, scratches etc. have to come out first, then the Zaino swirl remover (really a swirl hider) works to fill in the minor swirls. I have a black C4 Cab and a Lapis Cayenne S and the Zaino always makes them look terrific, but I never get that pure, fresh paint look with it unless I polish the car (using a Porter Cable orbital or a Dewalt twin head polisher). The PC is easy to use and you would be hard pressed to hurt the finish as long as you use the correct pads and polish. I have a friend that previously owned a detail business and he is awesome with the Dewalt. In the hands of a novice the Dewalt could do damage.

This Spring I am going to do my Cayenne with Zaino and my 911 with Menzema's (sp?) new product, Full Molecular Jacket. I have read a number of reviews and most thus far have raved about this product. There are some great words about it at properautocare.com. I will let you all know how it works out.

Its Menzerna (http://www.menzerna.de/). I will be interested in your results.

Correct, hadn't had my first cup of coffee to get my brain on line. I have it in hand, will probably do it in the next couple of weeks, I will take some before and after shots and post them.
