I'm tring to find out what is the best wax and polish for red 996 Porsche. What do you guys think about Zaino?

Thx

One word "AWESOME"

Sloth

IMO... good protection, long lasting, and easy to use. As long as you are not expecting it to remove or hide swirls and scratches...

Stick with the Carnuba... P21S is best. IMHO the polymer waxes simply don't look as good over time.

I actually need to get some new zaino for my p-car (black). i haven't seen it on a porsche yet, but it worked VERY well on my '92 vette before. i took the directions seriously and put a lot of coats on all at once before taking the car out. i called sal last week and he's got some new polish lock instead of the old one - sounds like it should save some time. i would go with the zx stuff (the new lock) the z2 shine and the z5? swirl remover. my process last time was to do one coat shine, one swirl, one shine, one swirl and end with one shine. i found the spray "detailer" hard to use, so its still under the sink. good luck - i think you'll like it.

great stuff. just make sure you follow the directions and have the swirl marks out before you use the Zaino. after i switched to zaino, my girlfriends mom mentioned (completely unprompted) that my car really looked great - and i keep it really clean all the time. she didn't know that i was doing anything different, but she knew my car looked better!

so far i have put 2coats of z5 and coat of z1 but it still shows some swirl marks. what should i use at this point? z2 or z5?

3M swirl mark remover or perhaps the Meguires SMR if being done by hand... then start over with the Zaino. I tried for the longest time to get swirls to reduce with Zaino on my Ocean blue, I switched to the 3M stuff with an orbital buffer and the swirls came right out.

A great combo for Black or Red cars is Klasse all-in-one topped off with Pinnacle Souvern. Easy to apply and easy to remove. Deep shine!!
