Default Zaino Longevity

Ive been terribly busy and missed a wax job. Usually I try to wax twice a year but I missed one last fall as I was so busy. Anyway, after a year or possibly more, my Pilot still shines with Zaino and rain still beads.

Zaino is truly an amazing product that constantly exceeds my wildest expectations.

Happy Piloting All,



Bugshu

It's really good stuff, but I don't have the time to go through all of and spend half the day waxing the car. I've used my stuff once and looking to get rid of it. Meguiar's NXT wax is pretty good too, goes on easy and buffing it is a snap too.

In my experience, the NXT had no longevity. Klasse AIO and sealant is very easy to use, and lasts a long time. Tastes great, less filling, uh,,,....

Yeah, you're right on the NXT, but I don't have 4-6 hours on my off days to beautify my rig. I gotta try the Klasse next time.

Hey Bugshu good to hear from you.
I would have figured the sound system would have knocked the finish off the car by now

I am going to have to try it. It can't take too much longer than overdoing the Klasse AIO, I put too much sealer on, and it took me for ever to take it off. I must say though it is doing well so far this winter. I put it on in the fall.

I've read a couple of independent reports on waxes, and Zaino always comes out on top. I've used it several times, and indeed it provides a great shine. However, I found it to be expensive and very time consuming to apply. So I switched to the next best, PS21. It compares well to Zaino for shine, but doesn't last as long. It's a lot easier to apply and is a bunch cheaper, too. Actually, I use S-100, which is Harley-Davidson's version of PS21. Get it at your local Harley shop. It's about half price of PS21.

I use S-100 as a top coat over the Klasse AIO and sealant. The Klasse has the longevity, the S-100 deepens the shine.
