I am usually pretty willing to try almost any product to see if it is an improvement and is easier to use. I have so much wax, cleaner and other such stuff that I may set up a seperate table at Carlisle and try to sell my left overs ( ya, sure, that will go over big ).

If your paint is really rough and bumpy, you might want to consider a clay bar. To see the correct procedure, check out Sal's website for instructions, or I can email them to you. It would be too long for here

Wow, I want a personalized list too :)
I'm going to be getting my baby painted really soon. Should I tell them not to wax it or anything so I can put some of this miracle zaino on there? What do I need if it's coming straight from the shop?
Thanks

If I could see it, huh Glenn? I think I'd would kick your butt if I could see it! The car or your touchee. lol
Ok, when I get mine back, the painter is going to "give" me some GM glaze to keep on her for the 90 days that I'm not supposed to touch her. I'm only to use the GM stuff and wash her, and the Zaino car wash is fine to use. Just not much he said. Running around with nothing on her makes me paranoid, that's why the glaze! lol So, after that, I'm going to give her a nice 10 minute Dawn bubble bath to strip her clean. Let dry overnight in garage. Then, ZAINO my little tail off! The best part? It all smells soooo good!

Is there anything which will hide orange peel? 
I've got a front hood fool of it - and bug tracks in one spot even.
I think the prior owner had the el-cheapo Maco special done. 
Not to mention the places where someone touched up the bright metallic blue with navy blue (what looks like marker).
I've heard that Zaino will make the bad parts look even worse.... any truth to that?

I've been hearing all sorts of time frames on how long you're supposed to keep wax away from the car after the fresh paint. I've heard from your 90 days to upwards of 6 months?!? That would drive me insane, how long does it take for the paint to cure?!

I'd recommend letting the paint cure for as long as the artist told you to let it. I know that sounds redundant, but seriously, the people who did the work are most likely the people who know the most about exactly what needs to happen for Destiny to look the best she can look. And everyone I've seen talk about ZAINO seems to have a darker colour car and talks of the paint looking 3ft deep.....how does it look on a WHITE car? heheh

Ok darla, what gives? not going to do Zaino on the new paint job? If you are you only have to wait a month (according to Sal) and then you can do it. Remember, there are no abrasives in Zaino like regular wax. That's why they say to wait using wax, it "cuts" the paint.

Hi Chris, where ya been? The painter said that he'd give me the GM glaze stuff to put on her in the meantime. Then I can always strip it all off with a nice warm Dawn bubble bath, then Zaino. Did you read someplace that you can Zaino after a month? Do you think that would be better for her than the glaze at that point?

Actually I was putting a new roof on the house all last week, that's why I wasn't on. If it was me, I wouldn't put the glaze on. I read that about only 1 month in "another" forum where they talk about Zaino all of the time. Someone asked the same question, about how long until they can treat the car.
