Is it a polish or wax, if so is it really good? Thanks!

It's kinda both. It's a 367 or so step process with a bunch of different things. It looks amazing but it's kinda expensive and it takes FOREVER! You can only buy it from their website www.zainobros.com as far as I know. Go for it!

Mothers is really good. It is easy and simple.

I love the shine it leaves, makes my car look like it is wet!

Zaino takes some time to do, but it's not that bad.

1. wash the car in a dish soap (strips old wax off)
2. use the clay bar, makes the paint smooth as glass
3. wash with Zaino car wash
4. apply Z1 polish lock, thin coat!....very easy
5. apply Z5, or Z2, the Z5 hides swirl marks
6. wait till it dries, depends on temp and humidity, 1 plus hours
7. you have to wait at least 24 hours for the next coat, use the Z16 spray in between coats, and after 2-3 coats of the Z5, you can finish with the Z2.

I just did my stang the other day, from steps 1-6, it took me 3 hours. The polish dries for me in about an hour or less, and is so easy to take off. No residue! Then just use the Z16 spray to keep up of the finish after washing. It is also important to remember, you use VERY LITTLE of the polish and the gloss spray. This stuff cost a lot, but you don't use as much as other products. I've tried, Mothers, 3M, Mequiars, and this beats them all, HANDS DOWN.

Is it really that good? If it's worth the money I am definitley going to consider ordering the kit. I'm trying my hardest to postpone a new paint-job(black paint...). I normally use Mothers and it's pretty good stuff.

I think the Klingons from Star Trek use it as there Cloaking Device. Thats how shiny and reflective it will make your car. Especially once you start adding a few layers.

I got 5 on mine, and it looks WET all the time. Its Awesome. The Sandman has 12 or 13 on his Bird. He's like the Zaino Guru.
