I'll never use mothers again. I used it for years. Always preferred it over the meguiars products. Lasted longer as well. I used the 3 step stuff, prewax, glax, and carnuba. Stuff was a b**** to put on, and my arms would be killing me afterwards. not to mention I'd go through a box of cloths trying to get the stuff off the car. Lets not forget, the more you touch the car, the more swirls you get, and I found Mothers a pita to get off.
I did 3 coats of Zaino yesterday. Used one polish cloth, and I did it with a flu/temp and still never got tired. Takes 10-15mins to apply a coat, and I usually let it sit for about 30 mins in between each coat depending on how warm it is. The joy with Zaino is you can let it sit forever and it only gets better and easier to take off.
I laugh at people who think Zaino is $$$. Lets take mothers. You have to buy the prewax, maybe claybar, sealer and glaze, and then the carnuba. I think the grand totoal was around 70-80 bucks Canadian before cloths, and applicators, tire foam/gel etc. I paid 127 for my Zaino kit, got two clay bars, came with applicators, detail spray that smells good enough to eat, and I'll get two years out of it easily, and I don't have to apply Zaino every month. Not to mention that it will actually cover scratches almost permanently, I don't wash the car half as much anymore, and my paint looks gorgeous, no major swirls and everyone that touches is amazed at how smooth it is.
anyways, I'm starting to sound like a commercial, and I hate that.
