Man, I love my truck, but that just sounds too much like work to me... http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Confused.gif Heck, one reason I bought white is that I didn't want to have to wash it so often to keep it looking decent (like my emerald green Dodge).
If you have a White truck then Zaino is absolutely the best choice. My last truck was white, 7 years old and 150K+ miles, never garaged and it looked better than the day I bought it. My Corvette is white also. Zaino makes white just flat brilliant.
Short story of “why I switched to Zaino”:
While at an indoor Corvette show a few years back, I noticed a White C5 Corvette like mine across the isle. But looking at his, I noticed how much brighter his was than mine. I asked if he had his repainted, he said “no, it was the original paint”. I asked then how come yours is so much brighter than mine.
He chuckled a bit and said,”Do you use wax on your car?” I said of course, I have 3-4 coats of Maguire’s Gold Class. He said “theres your problem”. I must have gave him a goofy look like he was nuts, “I have used Maquires products for 30 years, I told him”. He said “look at your can of wax what color is it”. “Well, its Yellow” I said.
“What do you think those layer of yellow wax are doing to your white? its slowly giving it a yellow tint. The more layers, the more yellow”. He then went on to state the virtues of Zaino which you can read about here at www.zainostore.com (http://www.thezainostore.com/) , go to the “Tips and Tricks” section. Its not hard at all and will make washing your truck easier.
Sure enough, when I got home I clay barred on half of my hood, laid down a couple coats of Zaino and was just flat floored at the results. Sure enough, there was a obvious yellow tint to the Maguire’s side.
Here is a picture of my C5 with 4 coats of Zaino, the car in this picture had 45k miles of daily driving, rain, snow, sleet, hail at the time it was taken. The coats of Zaino was almost a year old at this time also.
Its worth every bit of effort and is actually easier after the first application
