What is Zaino? If that's the wheels, then they're nice. I like the wheels with an odd number of "spokes", line 7 or (in the case of these wheels) 9.

Talking Rims?

Zaino is a special kind of wax right? dose it eliminate swirl marks and fine line in black paint? if not what dose? what method do you use ? Your cars finish looks awsome, I have a 99 GS 400 and from a small distance it looks nice and smooth but up close you can see many fine lines. please help, someone thanks

The wheels are MOMO M1's and Zaino is a type of polish. It's a great product and easy to use. It does take care of most all the standard "towel drying scratches" and swirl marks. Go to their website to see what your options are.

Thanks for the postive replies. Now what's the trick to keeping it looking this way? The pollen in our area is thick right now. Black looks great when clean but is a pita to keep that way.

Zaino makes another product that you can spray on and wipe off after waxing it... Z-6 gloss enhancer spray. This will make your surface much slicker and much less prone to attract polin due to quite a bit less static build-up.

Other than that your only option is to wash it every day.

By the way, since Zaino is a synthetic compound instead of a standard carnuba wax, you can 'stack' 6 or more coats of Zaino in a row, each time the shine and gloss will get deeper and deeper and will last even longer. If you are using Z1 followed by Z2 then you can only wax it once every 24 hours up to 6 coats total, if you are waxing by mixing Z2 with ZFX then you can do 2-3 per day up to 8 or more coats. (limit yourself to 2 coats if it's under 70 degrees and/or unusually humid, 3 coats if it's warmer and/or less humid)
