Who Uses Zaino On Their Silverado/Sierra?


Recommended Posts

Posted

First Question Is It A Wax Or A Polish. I Went To Their WebSite And Learned Alot About It But I Want To Know If It Will Stand Up To The Harsh Winters Here In Michigan.

Im Mostly Woried About It Standing Up To The Road Salt.

Im Open For All Opinions.

 

A New Zaino User As Soon As The U.p.s. Guy Gets To My Front Door.

 

Is There Any Distributors Here In Michigan?

 

Thanks, Carl :D

I use it on mine, but winter's aren't too harsh here in Georgia, so I don't know how it would stand up to salt and snow.  In my experience, it really doesn't last any longer than conventional waxes (it is a polish, by the way).  But once you have the polish lock on the first time, it is much easier to apply and remove the Z2 or Z5 than a conventional wax.  It is only necessary to re-apply the polish lock about once a year.  Plus it smells great. :D

Ok But Is It As Durable As Say A Past Wax. Dose It Last The Same Amount Of Time And Give The Same Amout Of Protection?

I use Zaino on my Silverado and my wife's Grand Prix. In my humble opinion, it's the best stuff out there. The water sheets off the hood when I wash it and it looks awesome. Everyone I see keeps asking me if I got a new truck and I've had it since June of 2000. I've tried almost everything out there and I'm sold on the stuff. Unless something drastically better comes out, they have me as a customer for life.

 

You can apply the stuff in layers to your heart's content. I have 10 coats on the Grand Prix and 8 coats on the Silverado. I'm planning on applying a couple more this weekend before the bad weather in PA hits. Everyone I've asked says it is durable as hell. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

...I forgot to answer your question- it's a synthetic polish. Think of it as the Mobil 1 of waxes. If you want to see some pics of my vehicles with Zaino let me know and I'll email them to you.

we have harsh winters like you here in indiana.  Salt from dec to february.  Sometimes starts in nov.

 

I used zaino twice a year.  Spring and summer.  By spring it needs a new coat after the winter

Pricey but worth it

Talk about harsh winters, we had 3 inches of snow already here in Anchorage.  I'm going to give this stuff a try. Want my truck to stay looking new for as long as possible.

    • Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver. 
    • Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....  
    • 4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps. 
    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.  
    • Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
