Zaino Z-AIO ALL-IN-ONE ?

Picking up M3 at the end of the month (finally!), need to stock up on supplies for my JzB sedan. Hear all the great things about Zaino's products, so thought I would give them a go along with a list of items from chemical guys.

Looking over Zaino products, would their new all-in-one product be sufficient? Or for JzB is there a better combo?

p21s is good... i used p21s and chemical guys... i basically use CG everything from car wash to interior cleaners... only thing i get from p21s is their paste wax...i heard good things bout zaino but they're harder to find and i am happy with CG products.

A few comments about the above posts. First, Zaino is good for long lasting protection but in terms of paint correction, it has none. So as your car gets older and you start to develop swirls (you will no matter how careful you are), you'll need to use something else to get them out.

P21S is a great wax but it requires constant reapplication because its a carnauba based wax. That's just the nature of that product. Good shine but short life span.

Not true.

Zaino has ZPC that removes swirl marks quite well.

I have been using Sal's products for years and have been completely satisfied.

I had never seen that before but I haven't looked at Zaino in years. Must be something they released within the last couple years.

I the Zaino sealer right after buying the car to help protect the paint. They claim it lasts over 6 months. Also picked up the Zaino AIO polish, it works to polish/fill very light swirl/scratches. I only used it on a small area to test. Product works fine, just follow the directions when applying, too much and it makes the job harder.
