Are they real popular and highly recommended?

I've Never heard of them.

Its really popular for the Corvette and F-Body guys.  So i decided it might be worth a shot trying it here. I hope its good!

Mervz - I ordered the Zaino stuff also, about ? worth.  Got it last week and did the routine as instructed on Sal Zainos web site.  Did both my new Sierra and my wifes Camry.  Results?  WOW!!! Camry is unbelievable! Better than new.  Its that gold/champagne color and it shines like you wouldnt believe.  My white truck looks better than when I took delivery.  Cant really describe it but I guess the gloss looks wet and deeper.  It really made a difference putting on additional coats of the polish with spray inbetween.  Each coat added more shine/gloss and was much easier to put on and take off than the one before.  Third coat couldnt have taken more than 5 minutes to put on and not much more to take off.    I can truly say that the stuff lives up to its hype!  It worked on the chrome real well also.  When you put on the Polish Lok (first step, the stuff you leave on under the polish) its hard to see.  Almost like wiping water on the car but as it goes on you feel the finish get smoother.  I Put three coats on each vehicle and used the spray "gloss enhancer" inbetween coats.  Oh yeah, I used the Zaino car wash today and it brought back the same look I had when I first polished.  Hope you have the same results.  I really havent heard any bad comments on the stuff, everyone seems to say pretty much the same thing..... Good luck and let us know...

**** boys, that is some expensive wax!  Don't think I will order any for myself, because my truck spends way more time dirty then clean.

How long will the Zaino last?

You usually put about 3-5 coats on initally, but then i think its only like one coat evey 4-6 months or so.

I'm looking forward to getting it.

General, its for my truck and the Camaro. My father got this special "Simonize treatment" for the vette when he bought it. He also got this "revitalizer" with it. Since he paid for it, he's going to use the other stuff up first before switching over.

And for you who are going "?!!!!" i did get more than just wax.

I got a , claybar, swirl remover wax, high polish wax, inbetween touch up spray, applicator spray, car wash.

So its more than just one bottle of stuff.

I'm planning on becomming a Zaino Vendor  in a few months also.

Is that the swirling brush you stick on the end of your hose?

Boy, you just got one heck of a deal then.  ;)  Guess I might consider spending that much on car care products if my truck was worth more, and I didn't spend all my cash on maintanence stuff.

I've used Zaino for three years. The corvette guys raved about it so I invested. It's a show car polish not a wax at all. In my view it's the best car care product on the market. It's actually so smooth that dust won't stay on it. My corvette is like glass. The optical resolution is unbelievable. It's easy to use and only takes a small amout to show. Go to www.zainobros.com

It really is a great product.

What year/model corvette do you own?

I used to use Zaino on my '99 GMC X-cab...it takes a little more effort the first time, but it looks great, and makes the vehicle easier to wash and keep clean.  A well-zainoed vehicle can be washed in about half the time, cuz it's never as dirty and everything comes off with a quick swipe of the soapy sponge.

Did the '74 Corvette this weekend...WOW...talk about shiny.  Only had time to put one coat on, I need to finish the job this week.

As far as protection, it's not as thick as a wax so I don't know about ding protection, but the UV protection is MUCH better than a traditional wax.  Down here in Houston UV is our biggest enemy.

But I don't use it on my Suburban or my wife's car, the paint is too old on both vehicles.  Just plain cheap carnauba on those.

      Injector update

      By iso221 · Posted

      Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.

      When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.

      Winter Returned

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
