How much should Zaino cost the average user per year? Provided I follow the recommendations, and wash once per week, how much should I anticipate spending per year on Zaino?

What do you guys spend on Zaino?

although i haven't used zaino yet, my first order of it totaled 70 something dollars. I only bought the clay bar, z2, zfx, z6 and z7. i do plan on buying some different stuff soon so that's going to add onto the price. I'd like to know how much it costs per year too.

Well, I'll give this somewhat of a shot here. With math not being my best subject in school in the Fifties and Sixties, I'll give you an idea of what the bottles will cover and maybe you can come up with some dollars and cents per year.

Conservatively, you should be able to get 20 to 25 car washes out of a bottle of Z-7, using two capfuls per wash. Actually, most of the time, I use one capful on a midsize car and am able to get 40 to 50 washes.

On a silver car, you should get either the Z-1 and Z-2 or the ZFX and Z-2. Using the ZFX/Z- 2 combination, on an S2K, you should be able to get three coats per ounce, times an 8-oz bottle, equals 24 coats. If you go crazy and put three coats on every four months or so, you should use about one-half bottle of Z-2. The ZFX vial has 80 drops, enough for two bottles of Z-2, so you've used one-fourth of the ZFX per year.

If you've got black, you should be getting the Z-5, which will hide swirls for at least six months. Many of my black-car customers just use the ZFX/Z-5 (multiple coats in one day to quickly hide those pesky swirls and very small scratches), and some like to finish with a couple coats of Z-2 the next day, giving an even greater shine.

Good luck.

As much as I like Zaino, if I tabulated what I spend and will spend on it, I'll just do this: Also, I hope you're not washing this thing once a week unless it needs it. California Duster it if that's all it needs.

Oregon = Rain. Winter, spring. summer, it does not matter....it just rains here. Also, we have some sort of strange pollen that leaves small clear droplets all over everyones cars. It makes my black s2k look like it is some sort of odd metallic...Unfortunately, I must daily drive my baby, and subject her to such daily tortures. I just can't win. When it rains, I get road grime on her. When it is nice and sunny, I park her out side for an hour or so, and there is clear pollen droplets! GRrrrr!

I'd say about $120.00!

But only because I spend so much the applicator pads are free!

I have automatic deductions from my salary. . .

I'm gonna say that MyBad is close! I think that's about what I spend a year.

Of course, he saves quite a bit due to some amazing tire gloss that doubles as a wax in his garage.
