Now here's a great example of a perfect finish done with Menzerna PO85RD.

This is why I use Menzerna for finishing a vehicle.

Then, Zymol Vintage wax was used.

Oh yea, it's a Vanquish S in England! Interesting color. Look at the interior of this thing.

Enjoy the photos!!

Rejex is amazing, quick, and easy. I just washed with Dawn, clayed, washed, rejexed and reapply the rejex every 3 months. Very durable and easy to apply.

Good thread ..lots of good info.. so.. I never really waxed a car.. but if I wanted to do a decent job that did NOT entail 2-3 or 4 different steps.. what would you recommend from Zaino ?

1. Id wash with dawn or Zaino ?
2. then apply ? ..Zaino ?

then Done ... and hopefully with pretty decent results


thanks !

Wash, clay, then polish (Zaino ZAIO for minor marring) or ZPC for more swirls.

Apply Z5-Pro or Z2-Pro with ZFX or ZCS (wipe on, walk away), then a light spray of Z8 to make it look stunning.

Rejex IMHO just has too much of the old Zaino look (very plastic/sterile looking) on most finishes, mostly dark ones than light metallics. But one place I use it on is wheels for brake dust control.

Last night "Tech Night" at my local dealership, Sal Zaino actually talked about his product and one of his technical guys demonstrated it on a brand spanking new C2S Ruby Red car. He used an all in one solution, Z5, and a detail mist solution. Most importantly he insisted on using a 100% cotton towel made in the good ole U.S.A. He also discussed what sets his products apart from all the rest (oils and grease contained the others). Personally I am a P21S guy even though it doesn’t last. With that being said I bought some of the stuff they had there to compare for myself.

Now that's a winning combination!

There is a Zaino solution for you:

1. Wash with Zaino Z-7.
2. Apply Z-AIO (all in one).

However, your car's paint definitely needs to be clayed to remove the embedded contaminants that washing won't remove. You only need to do that about once a year. Wash, clay, wash, AIO. The rest of the year, just wash. The Z-AIO should only be needed every 3-4 months.

Aside from the superior shine, Zaino is more durable than anything else on the market. Spend some time on Autopia.org and you'll see.

I owned a Black car that was pre owned. The paint was in pretty good shape but not as pristine as I would have kept it if I owned the car from the beginning. With the car's condition, I had better results with Zaino than I did with Rejex. I think Rejex is probably a decent repellant, but going through the Zaino process hid the swirl marks better and the paint had a better "pop".

BlackCab may be right. Mine was new so I have just kept the Rejex on it and it looks much like new after 18 months.
