Easiest and fastest way to detail??

What is the fastest way to detail your car with zaino? What products basically will i need to get an amazing shine in less time? I'm not neurotic like most of you guys spending half a day detailing haha but i give you guys props for the attention to detail. Your advice is much appreciated.

The fastest zaino method is a Z-AIO followed by Z-CS. It doesn't give you the same depth and shine as a full Zaino but it offers good shine and good protection.

I did this on my one of my daughter's cars and I'm going to go back and give it a full Zaino treatment. Unfortunately it just doesn't look as good sitting next to the other Zaino'd cars in my driveway.

Or you could ZAIO and Z2 or Z5 (depending on car colour - Z2 for light, Z5 for dark).

Actually, according the the Zaino web site, you can just use Z-CS alone. I am not saying it will have same shine/protection as the full Zainoo treatment, but it would work if you are after a low effort shine.

Skip the Zaino and just clay and then put some megs NXT wax on it. It shines well on AW and is easy to apply. You can buy both locally as well.

i kind of disagree with megs nxt on AW, its a great product and its fast, but i think it suits well for darker colors since it brings out a deep wet shine that only dark color cars can really do.

I bought the Z-AIO and the CS, followed up with regular Z-6. Works terrific, not as Deep as some others but really effective and fast! Perfect for me cause I hate detailing a car... :rocks:

Also if you are really lazy, us Honda Pro Shine and Polish form the bike shops. It's really good at cleaning and shining in no time. Protects pretty well.
