Zaino is gods gift to detailers.

I had an issue with the show car polish on a black car, called up Zaino, left a message, and Sal HIMSELF called me back. I was VERY impressed with that!

Great company that I will back 5 gillion %

This was a customers car that I clayed, washed, and put 1 coat of polish on.

i read in motortrend or auto week that all carnuba waxes are the same

and all clay bars are the same....

dont know if its true

I clay bar my car once a year, its to dusty in DFW to keep a car clean for more than 20 min

that mustang sure came out great!

but it is so easy to make the black paint shine.. so I think if you got a black vehicle, get Zainos for the best results..

I definitely will be shelling out some money for some zaino products in the future.. for now I am going to use what we just got today..

what zaino products did you use on that mustang though?

Turtle Wax and Armour-All make some of the cheapest detailing products out there. Sure, you can make the car look good right after you use them, but they offer hardly any protection. The exception being the clay bar: all of those are virtually identical except for the color.

Do yourself a favor, though, and return the "Back to Black." That stuff is useless. And I would be weary of taking advice from someone who says that they put on one coat of "polish." //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

sometimes I wish I got a black paint then I would make it sexy as hell..

But black paint can be PITA sometimes when it comes to scratches or any scuffs.. My dad's f150 is black and I have seen enough shit on it ha, thats why I am going to do it up for my dad..

Back to Black is really that useless??? I got some stupid white marks on back of my side mirrors and on the trim piece of my running board, they would not come off.. so I thought I'd apply those back to black to get the white marks disappear?

Back to Black is not a dye or anything - it's just the worst vinyl dressing ever created. It won't make white spots come off.

The white marks are probably damage from road debris hitting the mirrors. Fill those in with some touch up paint. Hit me up if you need any help with detailing your cars!

that sucks man I guess I got to be returning the bottle and save me 6 bucks..

actually the white marks are more of something that got hit into my trim piece and left a mark..

But strange thing is that the marks on my running board and my side mirror are exactly same so I have no clue how the hell did they get on there..

That infiniti looks good detailed!! what did you use?
