There Used to be a Whole Board . . . by cdnpinhead

devoted to Zaino. Has it gone away?
 
As I recall, the "take care of your car" portion of Edmunds had two surface finish categories -- the Zaino one & the everything but Zaino one.
 
The Zaino zealots were hard-core, and I dropped off the board, but it sounds like there are a few people here who might enjoy it, if it still exists.

Nope! You are thinking of Zaino Car Polishes/Products--Your Experiences (Part 2) and Store Bought Waxes Part II (No Zaino Posts).
 
The search features on the left are our friends.

Just want to say that this car is well worth the wait, for those of you still waiting to receive yours. The car in AMAZING!!! It is extremely fast and very fun to drive. The options are well worth the money as they add so much to the driving experience. My friend has an 07 IS350 and this car blows it away in every category.
 
Just my two cents...

Thanks, Pat.
 
The reality is that I don't care, but it sounds like one or more of these other folks would enjoy exchanging ideas with those well-established boards.

Scott, I'm the same guy whos been talking to you about zaino over the past few days. I hope things are going well with your new car. I just thought I would mention my experience cleaning my car this weekend. I was claying my car and when I hit the urethane film the clay bar stopped. I got a couple of really nice scuffs on the film now and I still haven't got all the clay off the edge of the film. I don't think it's a good idea to use clay on the film. I'm hoping I can get the scuffs out my only consolation is that I can remove the film but it's really not that bad just hate anything on my new car. I think you know what I mean.

LOL
Well, guess what...
I was washing and claying MY car this weekend and found the same thing.
 
I have no scuff marks on the film itself and I know the film is safe to clay, but the edges... watch out for the edges.
Claying against an edge causes the clay to get caught, and it's an absolute ***** to get out.
 
Looks like we've both learned from experience.
 
I'll say this though...
Dawned, washed, clayed, washed, Z-5'd, Z-6'd,and then Z-2'd twice.... HOLY CRAP, what a shine!
 
I "dawn"ed and waxed my wheels too.
The stuff the dealer used on the wheels was capturing brake dust badly.
A quick coat of wax on the wheels has resolved that issue as well.

Yeah I'm up to the z-5 step but will not be receiving the Z-2 and ZFX till today. I plan on putting down a z-2 and coating with the z-CS I'll let you know how that goes. Probably will wait til Wednesday because it is suppose to rain here tomorrow.

Sweet! Just make sure to break it in. It may kill me but I will follow the break in rules very strictly to make sure this car lasts as long as possible. BTW, I just got news of when my car is actually going to show up. I'm looking at May 11th, give or take a little. I wonder if I'm going to celebrate this anniversary in a year?

amazing car. You will love it. My last 2 cars were a 2000 BMW 328i and a 2001 BMW 740i. The G35 is just as good if not better so far in most areas.

"Just make sure to break it in."
 
Ya know, when I buy my daughter a new toy, it usually does a little something while checking it out in the store, and when you get it home and out of the packaging, there's a little plastic tab that you need to pull out, and then the toy has full capabilities.
For example, the toy may play one line of a song, but when the tab is pulled, the whole song plays.
 
I wish my G had this little plastic tab, which is not to be pulled out of it's little slot until proper 1200 mile break-in is complete.
This car WANTS to be driven, and keeping it below 4K ALL the time is a feat that even Mother Teresa herself could not accomplish.
