Coupers, Just wanted to pass on some info about a terrific polish to keep the paint on your plane looking great. I've been using Zaino Show Car polish products on my 96 Z-28 Camaro for a couple of years now. Today I tried it on the Alon as well. The paint on my Alon was OK, but didn't have much gloss to it. Now it does!!!
Zaino polish is very easy to use, lasts a LONG time, and shines like nothing else I've ever used. My 11 year old son and I put one coat of the Zaino Z-1 Polish Lok and one coat of the Z-3 Polish on the fuselage and tail surfaces today in about 2 hours from start to finish. This stuff goes on super smooth and easy, and wipes off just as easily. Another coupe owner was there while we were putting it on, and when we started buffing it off, he looked at the shine and asked me where he could buy the stuff. The Zaino products are a "system" of car finish products that work together. The liquid car wash (Z-7) evidently has some of the polish in it, because when I wash the Z-28 with the Zaino car wash, and then dry it, the car glows like it was just polished. Zaino products don't contain any wax at all. I'm not sure what's in it, but whatever it is, it's the right stuff!! If your paint is in pretty good shape, this is the stuff to use. Zaino polish products contain no abrasives at all, so if your paint is badly oxidized, you will probably have to get the oxidation off with some other product before using the Zaino polishes. (I don't think the Zaino polishes will restore "dead" paint that is really deteriorated.) One other neat thing that I found out about this stuff is that Sal Zaino, the man behind the product, is just a phone call or an e-mail away. When I had a question about how to use one of the products on my car, a guy on the Camaro website wrote and said "Just call Sal Zaino and ask him. He'll be glad to help you any way he can." - I found out that Sal Zaino is what customer service is all about. This guy really cares about his products and his customers. I have been thoroughly impressed with his service. If you have a question or a problem concerning the use of his products, he makes it his personal business to get you an answer. If you are interested in checking this stuff out you can visit Zaino's website at www.zainobros.com. If you want to see how good this stuff can make a paint job look, check out www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Downs/4013/zaino.html. These two websites make a lot of claims about Zaino products. If you try the products you will find out that the claims are true. I read about Zaino polish on the Camaro website for a year before I ever ordered any. I finally ordered some just to find out what all the raving was about from all the people that wrote in after trying it. I have been using it ever since. There is no way that I will ever use anything else again. Before anyone flames me about advertising... This is a product that I BUY for my own personal use that works great. I have no business interest whatsoever in any Zaino products, and I am not a personal friend or family with anyone associated with Zaino products. What prompted me to write all this is that I spent yesterday detailing and polishing the Z-28 with this stuff and the car just about glows in the dark. (No kidding, two different neighbors, at two different times stopped while they were walking by, and commented on how shiny the car was.) The plane isn't quite as glossy as the car yet, but it looks 200% better than it did. Before, all you could see in the Alon's white paint was chalk. Now you can see yourself and everything behind you! Wayne DelRossi Alon N5618F Simpsonville SC
