"I've been a faithful Zaino user on multiple cars (a Ford Expedition and a Lexus RX400h) for over seven years. I was THAT guy who would have friends over for a 'Zaino Party'. We'd apply coats of Zaino onto each car in a staggered fashion so we could remove a coat on one car while another was drying. My typical treatment would include a coat of Z-5 (w/ZFX), then Z6, then Z2 (w/ZFX), then Z6, then a final coat of Z2 (w/ZFX), and then a final spray of Z6. After every wash I would use Z6 to bring back the shine. I drive to Tahoe every single weekend in the winter, so this caused me to perform this whole process twice a year. It took me about five hours with the Expedition, three with the Lexus.
Now, since being introduced to Tech Shine, things have changed. My vehicle stays shinier longer, and it repels dirt for a much longer period of time. For example, my average Tahoe drive used to totally coat my car after one trip with Zaino. With Tech Shine, it takes several. On top of that, if I take the car (by mistake) to an automatic or poor wash facility, my car appears to retain less scratching with Tech Shine (the dirt just doesn't seem to stick as much). With Zaino, after two to three post-Tahoe washes, I started to see some serious imperfections (hence why I used Z6 after each wash to keep up).
But enough with all of that! One wash with Tech Shine and it looks like I spent hours waxing, the shine and comes right back to a perfect finish - high gloss - no swirls even after collecting a MONTH worth of Tahoe cement. You just wash, spend five minutes applying Tech Shine, and done. Enough said. Sorry Zaino Bros."

"Sunday June 22, 2008 I entered my 1963 Jaguar Mark X the Palo Alto Concours d' Elegance in the class for Passenger & Touring Cars 1956 Thru 1982 Under $7,000 New. I took first place in the class.
Before the class awards, a small group of cars are selected to receive trophies. To my amazement, my car was selected to receive the Meguire's Trophy for Best Exterior Finish. The outstanding buffing and detail work completed by you and your shop was a great contribution in winning this award. "

"I was introduced to Tech Shine by the professionals that detailed my new Nissan GT-R. Saying that my car was shinny afterward would be an understatement. It had an amazing deep gloss and felt like silk when rubbed with the back of my hand. I took it to a car show where it was parked next to an identical new car and after doing the "back of the hand rub" on both cars, people kept saying "Oh wow, what a difference".
I felt, however that the test was maybe a bit too easy since my car was new. I decided to try it out on my dark blue 4 year old car. Applying Tech Shine is as easy as I was told. After washing and rinsing the car, I just spread a couple of ounces of it all over the car with a small sponge, rinsed one last time and towel dried. It leaves no streaking whatsoever. The end result is comparable to having done a complete hand wax job. I had not seen that car shine to that extend in a long time (who has time to wax their cars regularly?) It even seem to conceal the light swirl marks my paint had suffered.
But I think the aspect of the product that made me smile the most was when I had to drive the newly Tech Shine'd car in the rain, on a dirty freeway. Watching the water basically fly off my car was quite entertaining. It also made using the windshield wipers almost redundant as the rain just glazed off the glass. At the end of the 300 mile drive, the front and sides of the car were still shiny and clean looking. I am truly converted!"

To all the car nuts -
My Porsche looks better then the day I drove it off the showroom floor. I"m always getting complimented on how good it looks.
Regular washing and coat of Tech Shine is all it takes.
