There is NOTHING better than Zaino. Why switch?

Zaino worked great on my black metallic 993:

Rejex is a great product if the paint needs no work or has not yet been destroyed by a dealer detail.

I use it, and I trust it. That's why we sell it.

I have been using P21 on my car. I have never used Zaino. Is Zaino that much better? Also don't flame me but I have found that Mother's carnuba cleaner wax works well on the clear bra. The P21 seems to leave a haze.

I've had excellent results with Ultima products. Very easy to apply too.

I've never used Rejex so I can't provide any input there, but I love Zaino. It's good to try different products - otherwise you're locked into one product for life. I recently tried Ultima and it was by far the easiest application process (I did 3 coats), but after one wash it doesn't bead or shine like Zaino IMO. Zaino is still tops for me.

I'm going to use Klasse (since I have it) when it gets warm enough to put something on my car. For now the dealer wax is still beading water.

For the clear bar, use Plexas. Wax will leave an edge mark, and there is no point using a polymer like Rejex, Klasse or Zaino, IMO.

I think P21 looks better initially, but Zaino lasts longer. I used to use Klasse AIO after polishing and then put a coat of P21 on a black car. Looked great and the KAOI has decent durability. I switched to Zaino AIO and their newer sealant though and like it better on my white car because it has better durability if not quite as good a look (but very close) right after application.


Quick Reply: zaino, rejex or other for a black car?
