Thumbs up Ezdetailer

As it's getting warmer out, I find myself detailing my car with Zaino again. Anyone who uses Zaino or similar products knows how much of a process this can be and the amount of time it consumes.

Wouldn't it be nice if something like Ezdetailer actually worked? Check out this product...

Too bad it's probably too good to be true.

Default As seen on TV, mmmhmm

I use Zaino every 6 months. It takes all day and sometimes two days to finish the process. I just did my wifes Outback with a new Porter Cable buffer and used the ZFX Flash cure for the Z2 Pro. Works like a friggen champ, cuts the process time in half. I just don't think the spray-on wonderall magic wax is going to give the same results as Zaino.

6 months, that's pretty good. How many coats of Z2/Z5 do you use? I usually only put on one of each with Z6, lasts ~1-2 months. Except the rims, they get mucky much quicker.

Even if this Ezdetailer product worked to remove bird droppings, that would help. I'd just keep a can in my trunk with a cotton cloth to clean the droppings on the spot.

I don't really drive my car that much and it sits in a garage covered with a strech satin cover when not in use. I start with a good Zaino wash, claybar (if needed), the another Zaino wash. Start with 1 coat of Z5 w/ZFX, then 3 coats of Z2 pro w/ZFX using Z6 inbetween coats. It really makes Black the best color ever . I then finish it of with Z8. I really can't say much about the rims, no matter what they always get dirty. I hate it when I have to stop quickly while driving just after I waxed, just thinking about the dust covering the rims. I think Z6 should take care of the bird bombs. I use it regularly on the wifes car does the trick for me. I have even found microfiber towels work better than the $20 cotton towels Zaino wants you to use. Not saying that the $20 towels don't work, I just like the microfiber ones.

Not a bad idea, maybe I should start keeping a bottle of Z6 in the trunk with some microfiber towels. Birds seem to target me after I zaino.

Where do you get the microfiber towels?

Default Towels from target

I get the microfiber towels from Target (in the bundle pack) 5 for $10... I think. I have used the expensive microfiber towels from a local detailer shop, but I got the same result. Once it clears up, I will post pics of a before and after Zaino.

Thanks for the info. Guess I just gotta accept that there's no easy way of getting your car to look good.


And I'm definitely going to get some of those microfiber towels before my next Zaino.
