Default Zaino All-In-One

Has anyone had experience with the Zaino All-In-One polish. I'm looking for a good wax, but I don't want to apply 2 or 3 different waxes at one time.

its kinda like spray on wax, it works, but its just not the same.

Zaino AIO seems to be ok from what I hear, but as a polish, doesn't really have a lot of cut and thus, not too much correcting ability.

Otherwise, if you're looking for solid AIOs that including some correction ability, try XMT 360 (from autogeek.net) or Optimum Poli-Seal.

If you're just looking for strict AIOs with minimal correction ability (basically, you're mostly looking for paint cleaning), try Klasse AIO or JW Prime.

Also, I'm not sure why you need two to three waxes? You really only need one wax. If you're looking to go carnauba and want the deep look... try Poorboy's Natty's Blue or my personal favorite, DP Max Wax (from autogeek). ZAIO isn't a wax, either (it's a polish with very light sealant abilities), and applying multiple waxes at the same time will only serve to basically neutralize the previous layer of wax.

Otherwise, if you're looking for something that's basically bulletproof, get Collinite 845 or 476S

Before you try one of those boutique solutions, I think you should definitely try Duragloss 101. It's fairly aggressive as a cleaner but not aggressive enough to cause marring and is an OTC product comparable to Zaino. Duragloss calls it a polish but it's really a sealant. Duragloss isn't very good with accurate nomenclature, but they're top notch as far as OTC products go.

The new Duragloss 105 is supposed to be an AIO too but I keep hearing that its cleaning ability is next to nothing, only being able to clean enough to get past old wax and to the paint (which is plenty for most people anyways.)

You can usually get some Duragloss products at your local Carquest.

best wax hands down, no question is the Best IN Show wax from Griots garage. I used it before I worked here, I'll use it long after I'm done. Its a concours gloss wax with great protection... STAY away from all in ones!!! no where near as good.

Maybe I need to clear the air on Zaino All-in-One. I’ve been using Zaino products on my 2006 xB and numerous Ford F-150’s for about 5 years now, so I have some experience with the product line. First of all, the name is somewhat of a misnomer. The AIO name really means that it replaces several previous Zaino products that needed to be used together. In the old days, you needed to apply a coat of Zaino Z-1 prior to the actual sealant, which could have been a number of different Zaino products depending on what you were working on. The Z-1 was almost a primer. Without it, the actual sealant products didn’t work too well.

The new AIO is intended to simplify the process by eliminating the separate Z-1 application. This is desirable because using the Zaino system on your vehicle – although it gives awesome results – was getting to be more of a mating dance than a wax job. Although lots of us might enjoy a 4-hour detailing job, most of the population wants something quick that looks great and hopefully lasts a long time. AIO should make more of the general population happy. For us OCD nuts, it’s merely a good place to start.

I would agree with kungpaosamuraiii, give Duragloss a try. I suggest 101 followed by 105. You will get amazing results and it will only cost you $20, or so. Here are some pics of 101 topped with 105.






It gives you an awesome look with crazy protection. And best of all, it's cheap and can be found locally! Much cheaper than Zanio or Poli-Seal.

Can you buy Duragloss at any auto parts store?
