As you can see by the number of my post, I am not in to AIO's. However I took the plunge and bought some ZAIO. Well the Tahoe that sits outside sees very little attention because I am always doing somthing to my sports car.



Went up to the local car wash and for $40.00 they slap on a coat of ZAIO. WOW !!! What a diference. I used Klasse last time but was unimpressed.



Now I am a beleiver that AIO's have there place in the detailing world. And ZAIO rocks !!!!
 
Wow! This is the first I'm ever hearing of a car wash operation knowing what Zaino is, let alone offering it! :shocked:
 
That's what I've been sayin' I wonder how long they worked the stuff in? It does have some light polishing action.
 
Hi Bill, I kindly told the young gentleman to use this as I handed him the ZAIO.

A little goes a long way !!! Even the guy at the car wash said how impressed he was with the product and how little he had to use....

I'd guess I use less than 1/2 oz per car. I'd probably use even less but I usually use 3-4 pads per car.
 
Yeah, good stuff :xyxthumbs It's the only AIO I've ever been remotely happy with sans topper. Be a little careful using it on black plastic though, it really messed up the black bits on one of the A8's sideview mirrors, took a lot of polishing with other stuff to fix.
 
Never noticed that, but I don't let it sit on anything long. I work ZAIO in and wipe it off.

It wasn't from the sitting, it was from the seemingly oh-so-mild abrasives! Didn't matter if I worked it/not, they simply scoured up the plastic. Weird, huh, since they're sure not that abrasive on paint :confused: :nixweiss
 
I love ZAIO,and a little does go a long way. I've had the same bottle for SEVERAL years,and there's still enough product to do several vehicles in it. I've taken to using ZAIO as a LSP versus putting Z2 or Z5 on top of it because it looks so good by itself.

Must have been some soft plastic maybe??

Never seemed like it before. I've been using the 3M PI-III twins (05933 RC and 05937 MG) on those surfaces since forever and they aren't too abrasive on it (they're what I used to bring it back after the ZAIO) along with various polishes from 1Z. Gotta say I was sure surprised the ZAIO messed them up so badly, but that's why I post about it- don't want anybody else to make the same mistake. Just one of those product/surface incompatibility issues that crop up every now and then I guess, so my AIO of choice for that kind of thing is gonna be KAIO.
