Default Not many places.. probably only mail order depending on where you live.

Keep in mind that it's not a carnuba wax, its a synthetic polymer. Some people don't like the idea of that, but I've found it protects fine and shines really well.<ul><li><a href="http://www.zainobros.com">http://www.zainobros.com</a</li></ul>

Default I use Blitz, but it does not last long and tends become hazy ofter a few days in FL sun. (m)

My car is Brilliant Black so it may not be as noticable if you have another color. When it becomes hazy I simply re-buff with a clean cloth after a good wash. Then it shines again for about a week. Never tried Zaino. I highly reccomend a pre-coat of 3m Imperial Hand Glaze beforehand. It really brings out the black in my car, eliminates a good portion of my swirl marks, and make for a hella good shine after the wax.

Default My cars the same color and I use the Zaino Bros. products and LOVE them! Haven't used Blitz, but

the Zaino products work better on my black 2001 than anything I've ever used in my 40+ years of car ownership!!! I always get comments about how great my black paint looks at the KK GTG. Only place to get Zaino's is from their website, usually takes about a week for me to get their products after I send the order and check to them and I'm in CA....My original order was about $75, got the car wash, the lok, #2, #5, and the detailer.

Default Me!

I've got a ton of detailing supplies on hand, including enough Zaino to wax a house (well, maybe not). Anyway, any local AWer that wants to try some is more than welcome to give it a shot, and I'll even give you some tips if you like.

Next gathering is May 11th, but you can't make that. We have another event planned for June 29th as well (rally and BBQ west of Philly). If you want to meet somewhere else, let me know, and I'll bring some stuff by.
