My family swears by using Zaino brand products to clean, wax, polish, and detail all aspects of vehicles. The products definitely seem to be of high quality, but I haven't used another brand. They claim to be an online only business and never sell to stores. I'm interested to know if anyone else swears by this product, or if it really isnt well known.

Zaino was popular around 10 years ago but fell out of popularity due to costs, ease of purchase, and stronger competition. Plus, their multi-layer approach is extremely time consuming. With that said, I’m still a Zaino guy myself but I’m open to switching brands. I’d probably still keep the tire dressing and leather in a bottle though, they are awesome products.

Zaino has somewhat of a cult following. I tried it about ten years ago. You have to be a chemist and mix stuff (Z-2 with ZXF) and I found the product went on easy but was a pita to remove even when I applied a thin coat. It gave a nice gloss but was to much work. At this point it's old technology. There are now easier ways to get a nice durable gloss on your car. Just my opinion.

I'm now a lazy detailer. When my car needs a little more attention than it's regular weekly two bucket wash I wash my car with Carpro reset, wipe on/off Meguires Ultimate fast finish and call it a day.

With incredibly easy-to-use products like Optimum No-Rinse and Optimum Hyper-Seal, I can't imagine going back to using products like a Zaino stack. I'm not saying it's bad stuff necessarily, but there are far better/easier ways to keep your car protected and looking beautiful.

It makes sense that it fell out of popularity, my dad started using it back on his 2003 F150 when he bought it brand new. I am definitely interested in better/faster products.

I still use and love it. Yes the newer stuff is much quicker and easier but I have yet to find anything that will outshine it. Their detail spray is one of the best too.

One more thing. When using their polish you want to use very little. Very thin coats are easy to get off and look the best.

I have been using this stuff for years as well and have been very happy. I am always looking for something better, but do not really know if other stuff is way better or not. Or what to get. Their detail spray is very good. And 3 quick coats does not take too long and seems to hold up very well to all of our terrible weather up here.

I used their stuff back in the 90's. Good stuff. Sal is a stand up guy. I don't believe his brother is still involved. Moved away from their products a long while back mainly because I'm always trying new things and the launches of newer better products is ongoing.

I like using their quick detailing spray. The Z8 provides a nice shine.
