zaino on wheels works great! zaino one week report....

applied zaino to the wheels last week end. the diret that had accumulated since then washed mostly off whith a hose! I washwed the remaining dirt off with a sponge in the left over zaino wash from my the paint.

I remember reading that someone else tried this and wasn't happy with the results. I'd like to suggest that perhaps they used wheel cleaner at some point and that the wheel cleaner cleaned off the zaino. I'll see how good it does over time but if it goes well, I'm going to remove the wheels and do a complete job.


a week after applying zaino for the first time, I washed my car with Z7. the paint fealt much slicker than the medallion did after the first week. applying Z6 made it even slicker. it's as aslick or maybe slicker than what it fealt like last week.

I'm starting to believe the hype but still want to watch it for a while.

After a couple weeks of admiring my ugly mug in the hood, I applied coat two. Boy did that shine! Then I wondered if you could perfect perfection, so I applied coat #3.

This stuff is like automotive crack.

I've been wondering how well it would work. I haven't yet tried it myself. When my new car gets here I'm getting new wheels for it. Before they even go on I'm going to Z them front and back!

if you can spare the time and effort, you should take the rims off and put on two coats. since most of us don't have access to a chassis hoist perhaps doing one wheel at a time would work. you could minimize the effort over time by doing one wheel a weekend. when it comes time to do it again, repeat the process.

I may end up doing that myself. even if I had access to a chassis hoist, it would be kind of a pain waxing 4 wheels twice each in one day. too tedious.

What Zaino products did you use? Z1 + Z2?

I took the easy way out and sprayed on Stoner's Speed Bead. It gets into all the nooks and crannies and takes just a couple seconds to apply. It's carnauba, but it's better than nothing. Of course it takes a long time to get all the wax out of the bolt holes.
