What really is the best wax, Zaino or Nano??
Just wondering what everybody is using out there for wax because I have seen that Zaino and Nano wax are getting rave reviews and I need something different. I'm using Meguires 3 part system and its good for about 2-3 weeks and then the beading stops and seems like I never waxed it. It takes all day to do all three parts and I think am going to go with either the Nano or Zaino. These seem to be the top two everybody is talking about so I was just wondering the pros and cons of each. What do you guys think?

Re: What really is the best wax, Zaino or Nano??
I used the zaino system for the the first time this weekend. It is a great product!! I used the claybar first and the finish has never been smoother. I will see how long it lasts but it is def easier to apply and remove than meguiars, which i have always used. The Z-6 Ultra Clean Gloss Enhancer Spray is awsome because it is like a quick wax but alot less work. with better results.
The price for the wax was a little high but if it lasts the whole summer and it seems it will it is def worth it . The cost probably works out the same for all the other crap that i used to buy. Great stuff.... ...it was hard to gt a good reflection pic because the sun was going down. ![]() |

Re: What really is the best wax, Zaino or Nano??
I use the meguires 3 stage plus a clay bar and I like it, it should only take a couple of hours to apply, I personally wax my truck every month anyways but the length of which the wax stays on depends on how often you wash your car,what kind of soap you use, the waether and all sorts of other elements. I have never heard of ziano before i came on the board but when i worked at the detail shop we used auto magic which was good for the crappy galpin fords we did and a company called bahmes (spell check) for the porsches and ferrari's that was the best wax i ever used but I found that the meguires gold class is about $10 and works really really well for non mail order stuff. And if you want to get your truck really clean before you wax try 3m rubbing compound instead of the meguires paint cleaner it works a lot better just remember to use the polish before you wax

Re: What really is the best wax, Zaino or Nano??
The claybar is awesome.I use it everytime i wax and right before i buff. I also use a special wax that I buy from a local bodyshop...Meguires is a great wax to use from the store, but I rather use what the professionals use.

Re: What really is the best wax, Zaino or Nano??
Yeah i went out and bought a buffer from murray's and my friend said i should take it back and buy an 80$ buffer that has variable speeds that'll actually get the scratch's and everything out... and how hard is the claybar to use? i'm trying to get into waxing my blazer because i've never done it before but i would like too... anyways where can you get the nano wax and claybar at?

Haven't tried Nano but I've been using Zaino since 99. My vehicles always look great with it.

Re: What really is the best wax, Zaino or Nano??
if you want zaino go to www.zainobros.com. I just ordered the stuff and am gonna try it out next week when I get it. If you look at the pics on the site the cars look like mirrors. Its pretty amazing and they say one coat lasts up to 6 months so you can't beat that. Haven't tried nano though.

Re: What really is the best wax, Zaino or Nano??
it's great if you have a buffer to apply the wax or polish or whatever you want to apply. The clay bar is ok if you just want to get out surface contaminents. try usin a buffer with a cutting pad on it and using meguiar's compound cleaner (#83 or #84 depending on your needs) and it will get out more deep down scratches. then claybar, polish and try meguiars hihg tech yellow wax (#26). This will make your truck look like never before. will post some pics soon. i gotta detail an 18 wheeler this weekend!

Re: What really is the best wax, Zaino or Nano??

Re: What really is the best wax, Zaino or Nano??
Zaino products are a synthetic coating. They do the same thing as wax (protect, shine). I like to put a couple coats of pure caranuba over the Z2. It's not needed but I think it adds to the wet look. Then again I'm a nut when it comes to waxing my cars.

Re: What really is the best wax, Zaino or Nano??
Zaino is much much better than Nano Wax.
I test detailing products and Zaino is the longest lasting protectant on the market. Sal calls Z2, Z3 and Z5 a polish, however, it has no cleaning or polishing ability, it does however have incredable protection. Give Sal a call at 732-833-8800 and ask for the Z PRO..., tell Sal Waynestowels recommended it (it is the newest version, longer lasting, looks better, easier to apply and remove- it is a Great Product!! |

Re: What really is the best wax, Zaino or Nano??
Yeah alot of people are confused by the term polish with Zaino, even the Z5 just hides swirls, doesn't remove them. But Zaino is more of a sealant and a good one, the best i've used. If you're paint is swirled I would use a good polish first like Meguiars #80, 1Z Paint polish, Poorboy SSR, there are a number of good products out there, then use the Zaino Z5 and Z2 and the paint will look amazing.
