Try www.detailcity.com and then try products from www.poorboysworld.com

I like them much better than Zaino

I WAS a Zaino freak until I tried the Adams stuff...Honestly I think its user preference.

Check out the detail forum at www.detailcity.com

Poorboys polishes, sealants, waxes and other products are great ! I've been using them for several years now and have never had a complaint. Their Spray & Wipe is the leader of the pack. Just spray it on and wipe dirt off. I only wash my truck about twice a year now. Instead of washing I use S&W 2 or 3 times a week and never have to wash.

I bought the Zaino starters kit. I've tried products from Mothers, Eagle, Griott's, and Zaino's outperforms them all hands down.

There are two polishes you want to use. One is the ZX-5 for swirl marks. I forget what the other one is called. But you put that one on after you get a few coats of ZX-5. Also you want the detailing spray, and the kit that makes the whole thing cure faster. You'll need a clay bar to get your paint absolutely spotless, so order one if you don't already have it.

It's alot of stuff, and it takes alot of time....but I wouldnt own any vehicle that didnt have at least 5 coats of Zaino on it. Definitely a good investment.

your just asking for swirl marks keeping your vehicle clean with this method. all of that road grime and dirt that gets on your car when it rains will actually act like sandpaper when your just squirting and wiping the dirt away. just my 2c

I have a LINE-X spray-on truck bedliner shop in Fort Worth and I carry most of the Zaino products. Let me know if you have any questions.

Here's my website: www.linexfortworthtexas.com

If this is your first Zaino job, I suggest:
1. Wash truck with Dawn.
2. Claybar the truck with Z-18.
3. Wash the truck with Dawn again.
4. Apply Z-1 Polish Lock and let it dry, do NOT wipe off Z-1. (As an alternative, you can use ZFX with Z-2 Pro. But, I don't like ZFX, so just use Z-1)
5. Apply Z-2 Pro polish (right on top of the Z-1), let it dry, buff out
6. Wait an hour, apply a second coat of Z-2 Pro, let it dry, buff out.
7. Apply Z-6 Gloss Enhancer.

The #1 biggest mistake Zaino users make: Not letting the Z-1 and Z-2 Pro polish dry enough. If you don't let it dry, you will NOT get the best results.
