No need for Autoglym any more

Petteri · 18-07-2007, 13:08

Because zaino's here. Washed, waxed and polished my vRS today using Zaino products. No more AG for me thank you. Sure Zaino's are lot of work and pretty expencive but the shine one gets is better than any i have seen before. Products used today:

Z-2 pro Show Car Polish
Z-6 Ultra Clean Gloss Enhancer
Z-7 Show Car Wash
Z-8 Grand Finale Spray Seal
Z-18 Clay Bar

First i washed my car with original Fairy hten used Z-18 Caly bar and finally washed using Z-7. Then really good dry.

Then applied 3 coats of Z-2 pro with ZFX. After every coat i sprayed Z-6. Finally finished all by applying one final coat of Z-8.

Weather wasn´t best one to show of the shine but if you'd see the car in irl you'd be impressed. I surelly am.

Hei. I thought that using Fairy (washing up liquid) if it is the same as here was a big no no due to the detergent content damaging the paint.

Fairy washing up liquid is fine to use before a proper detail as it strips the old wax and fillers etc off the paint. But for weekly washing a proper pH neutral shampoo such as Autoglym Shampoo or even baby shampoo will make sure the wax etc you've applied doesn't wash off as quickly.

Baby shampoo....Like johnsons or similar? Didn't think that sprog would become useful for car cleaning until he was big enough to hold a sponge. Interesting.

You can also pinch some of his/her baby wipes - I use them for around the inside of the doors, plastic trim, sill protectors etc!

And if you put them in a big fluffy jump suit you can polish with them as well

Back on topic though...not heard of this stuff before

its not that popular compared with some of the other stuff available which is a shame as people have had great success with it.

Detailing world will give you a little more info if anyone wants to know about i

I like the wheels , they really suit the car , especially when it looks so shiny

Petteri · 19-07-2007, 13:10

Zaino is by far the best product that i have used. Takes a lot of work but it rewards you in the end. If one can live with it's price then i suggest that you give it a ago.

I found an overview of Zaino products over on detailing world....
