Zaino on a Weightless White?

I would like to see, what kind of results has anybody gotten from using Zaino on a white Evo. I also need to know, which products were use.

I haven't Zaino'd my white evo yet, but I've heard it doesn't really look that great on white. I'll let you know this weekend...

Zymol makes a wax specifically for white cars called zymol creme. before you use that, use zymol's HD Cleanse.

It would look better than it is right now, that's for sure. Also, it's not only the "looks" factor, it's the protection factor. And your carbon fiber wing really requires it.

I have used Zaino several times already on my white evo, and I did not find the results to be particularly spectacular. I have previously used it on darker and more metallic colors, and it always seems to shine the best on those. In general, with the minimal (or lack of) clear coat on this color, you literally have to wax the car at least once a month. It really doesn't matter what wax you use, because it all washes off pretty much instantly. The pearl in the white also causes the finish to look cloudy most of the time as well, and that too takes away from the shine of the paint. Just use the product that is easiest to take on and off, because you will be most likely to not mind doing it really often. I try to wax mine at least in certain areas every other car washing, which equals out to every other week.

I use Zaino Z-2 on my white evo. It looks great, is easy to apply, lasts better than most and feels incredibly smooth. No problems, I would highly recommend it.

I don't really do waxing for looks as mentioned above, I do it for the protection. I know the Zaino will work fine, but I may look for something else and save the Zaino for the darker cars...

i zaino'ed my white evo and i dont see any difference in terms of looks. i do however, feel the slippery, smooth surface when i stroke the car with the backside of my palm.
i went all out on the carbon wing to prevent it from turning yellow from the uv, but i honestly don't feel any difference in terms of smoothness after i zaino'ed it. the only reason i zaino'ed was to prevent heavy water spot buildup on my car after i wash it or when it rains.

when you guys take off the Zaino does it leave a thick film on your towels?

Thumbs up

well if it does which 90 percent of waxes leave a thick film or they leave alot overdust. due to abrasives that hurt the paint and cause swirls or scratches. Zymol is all natural and you can tell when you wash your towels(microfiber) after waxing there is not any wax on it still. you can probably do a search on Zymol and learn about this hidden gem of waxes.
