I used Zaino on my pearl white GS and it looked so rich in color and reflective. I washed it with a friends silver car and you could see his silver GS parked next to mine in the reflection.

Default Zaino

If you plan to use Zaino, make sure the finish is as swirl free as possible as it can enhance the swirls. The normal procedure is:
1) Wash car with Dawn dishwashing liquid to strip any wax. Dry the car.
2) Clay the finish prior to any polish application or work.
3) Polish you finish. Depending on swirls, and if you have a Porter-Cable (PC) polisher.
4) IMPORTANT! WASH car again with Dawn to strip oils from polish.
5) Z5 your finish. Use with ZFX and up to 3 coats in a day. Use a cotton applicator!
6) Between Zaino Z5 coats, spray Z6 B4 and after each coat to help build the gloss!
7) If happy with Z5, switch to Z2. Same use of Z6, B4 and after.

Now your car is protected by Zaino and will have a wet look. Wash as often as you want with Z7 to keep any dirt from attaching, then Z6 use as a QD.

Questions? You can reach Sal Zaino at Wet@Zainobros.com

Actually, my family and my friends all use Zaino and as long as you apply enough layers of Z5(3~5 in most cases), your swirl marks will be gone!! Yes, even on Formula Red S2000! My last car was a arctic white Generation 2 Legend, and I've tried so many waxes before Zaino. Therefore, I can tell you that you won't be able to find anything that can beat Zaino especially on a light color car!!

See what the NSX Guys found out!
