I'm going to be washing my car for the first time this weeked. After reading on the forums a lot of people recommend Zaino brand. I want to know if the kit I am looking at will be best for my FIT. Please help.
Zaino Total Protection Show Car Kit: Zaino Store

 

That would be the kit! You won't be disappointed with Zaino's car care products, very easy to apply and leaves the car looking great every time. I use it on my GD all the time and it shines just as it did the day I got it 3 and a half years ago.

Here's a "dirty" pic of it just after the 3 year mark.

 

Will this kit take care of everything body and black trim? My last car was a 2000 ford explorer and it had a lot of plastic trim on it. I didn't maintain it that much and it ended up looking like crap. Also how often do you use the kit? Do you use it everytime you wash your car? I appreciate your help.

 

zaino FTW. love their stuff.

this kit will not take care of black trim though.. if you need to restore black trim, try "mothers back to black"

zanio is a sealant, not a wax...so it doesnt have ot be applied every tiem you wash the car.
i usually wash my car once a week. used teh sealant once a month... for 3 consecutive months. and each time i used the sealant i finished it off with the z-6 spray. after that, the car was usually good for at least 6+ months (besides regular washings). and every once and while during that 6+ months i woudl just use the z-6 spray after a wash to make it really shine again.

 

So do does the sealent work in place of wax, or do you wax and then seal? Also for the black trimming should be treated when doing the first car wash, or should it start to look dry then start working on it? I can't believe i'm such a car wash noob.. I want to keep this car looking nice for years to come. I just bought it last friday!

 

yeaa, sealant is a wax alternative. lasts longer.

as long as you dont get the black trim covered in wax/sealant...dont worry about it. maybe treat them once with somthing liek this 303 Products, Inc.: 303 Aerospace Protectant to prevent fading, but it will be a long time before black trim fades.

head over to autopia.org. alot of info there

 

Thanks for the info!

 

I've been using the 303 aerospace protectant for the black exterior trim and most of my interior since day 1 and it still looks brand new 18 months later! FYI I clayed my car once I got it home then applied 3 coats of zaino z2 and topped it off with collinite no. 845 insulator wax! The zaino z2 claims to offer spf 40 for each coat so times that by 3 and you have 120 spf to help protect from damaging uv rays! The water beads like crazy with the collinite!!
