    I have used their polishes for years. Its show car polish and can be time consuming. Opticaly clear. Can build up layers for a deeper shine. Their leather treatment is great. Smells great. Easy to use. Has a sunscreen. Have used it on leather,vinyl,rubber trim etc. No silicone. Leaves everything suppple. Have used it inside the house too. No I'm just a user of the products.

    I've used it for about 5 years. It's great stuff and as long as you put it on very thin, it's easy to take off and it leaves a beautiful shine.

    I like Zaino too, and I've tried many brands. It is great on my Grigio titanio but didn't have the depth a dark color like my 997 Carmen red needed. That needed a carnauba like pinnacle. That said, zaino does go on/off easy if you do thin coats. A little detailer spray on the towel will help the stubborn spots come off easy.

    I use the Pro5 and I like the leather scented leather treatment.

    Yea, gotta agree with the most here about to time consuming! That said, I do like and use their leather cleaner.

    I use Zymol hand waxes only, its way to easy!! Pricey, but easy!

    When I bought my Porsche, I decided to do a full Zaino detail, by the book, including seeking out US made 100% cotton towels, washing them and cutting all of the seams off. The full detail (including Dawn, Zaino clay-bar, and layers of Z2 Z5 and Z6) took me 20 hours. It looked spectacular, but the time involved was insane. In the words of someone else who was trying it for the first time:
    "I think having a day job is going to become inconvenient"

    Zaino was good 4 years ago. They never evolved, never improved their products. Using Zaino down here in Houston is a major PITA because of the humidity. There are many products now that will last as long or outlast 5 layers of Zaino products. You don't really hear much about Zaino in the detailing forums anymore because there are better products out there. If you want something exceptionally easy to apply/remove, looks fantastic, and will last 4-4.5 months, try Black Fire Wet Diamond. I have a lot of clients that used Zaino and switched after I used this on their cars. I do use their leather cleaner and conditioner, that stuff is great.

    Doing Zaino the first time is very time consuming. Wash the car, clay the car, wash again, then start applying multiple coats etc. The reality is though if you prep the car correctly and use zaino correctly it gets very easy to get a great shine. Once you have the paint properly prepped and a few coats on the car in between washes and extra layers that ad just a tad more shine are very simple.

    I use zaino for years. They do have a lot of new product such as all in one, clear seal. Clear seal can be used on paint, rubber, and glass to bring out amazing shine and protection as a sealant.

    Zainos lasts a long time and it isn't pita to apply. First time takes 3 coats but after than it is just a single coat which takes 15 min. Doing this once every year or two is as easy as it gets.

    One of the best things about zaino is their business ethics. They do not promote selling product if your application doesn't need it. The owner told me I can use my current product as a substitute instead of making a sale. I don't think you will find that else where. If you have a question, you can talk or email the owner, as he is very responsive.
