zaino will raise the achievments of the work put in
without question

if you are happy with autoglym then thats your call but i assure you its so hard work in comparison and will never get anywhere near the finish.

if you get good results with it you would be amazed at what you would get with zaino


well done ben.glad you like it
which products did you use
give me run down of how and what you did

I used fairy liquid to get rid of other products, spent about 2 hours drying it, then used zpc on each panel. Finaly i used z2 polish and z8 spray, that stuff is simply amazing!

Il be putting another coat of z2 and z8 on in a couple of days. I can see there is still room for improvement but im very happy with the result so far.

Thanks again for all your help Jon, i really appreciate it mate.

hi
did u use zfx or z1 polish lok before first coat?

car will look better tomorrow
z8 gets better after 24 hours

remember tho.any marks that are still in surface can only be got out with zpc
lots of work by hand better with pc
if you are going to try and remove more marks remember the zpc will remove all you have put on so best to prep and prep and prep then apply your z2 etc

Dont get me wrong the results you guys have got using it on your cars speak for themselves but the price is way too much just to use on a everyday driver, as good as it is I think the gulf in price means I'll have to stick to Meguires. The black M3 does look amazing though !
