Default so, convince me, is Zaino that easy to use?

I've seen quite a few before and after pictures of Zaino'd cars, but I can only cunjur (sp?) up pictures of lots of white waxystuff going on the car and leaving the dreaded over-rub and white residual powder.

Can someone explain what the product is (cream, spray, wax?) and how it is applied, is it creamy like autoglym (Autoglym leaves lots of white powder and you have to be careful with over-rub on the black trim), or a carnuba like Zymol? (or is it not a wax? if not, what protection does it offer?)

I have used Zymol a few times (not on the S), but bugger me, it was alot of messing around applying the HD clense and then the carnuba wax. I always considerd this to be a very lengthy process. (but good results)

So, answers on a postcard please

Best look at www.zainobros.com for their FAQ. Zaino is a polish rather than a wax, and I've never had any residue problems. Most of the zaino range are creams, which are thinly applied. The exception is the gloss enhancer, which is a spray on & wipe off enhancer of gloss .

Factor in the better part of a day for a zaino session, 2 or 3 times a year.

1. Yes.
2. You are convinced.
3. Be prepared to lose several hours at the weekend...

One thing they don't mention on the Zainobros site is the way this stuff smells! I swear that bees and flies get attracted to a freshly Zaino'd panel because of the smell it gives off, a kind of fruity yet masculine smell.
