Zaino

[[email protected]]

Having just washed and waxed the car with Zaino, I am wondering if
anyone has used it on their sailplane. The Zaino web site states that
it is OK for fiberglass and gel coat. Any one used it? What
results/problems?

If I had a -27 I wouldn't let that stuff anywhere near it without
knowing exactly what's in it.

Personally I use Wx/Seal and Wx/Block from W&W.

I called Mother's a year or two back and was treated very rudely by one
of their staff. He wouldn't tell me *if* there was silicone in any
products and said I shouldn't use any of their products on aircraft.
Kind of an asshole really. Guess I won't buy their products for my car
either, which if you saw my cars you would know was a forgone conclusion
anyway :-)

Ditto, fairly easy to apply, long lasting shine.

All well and good (and I use WX Block too) but that wasn't the question.

Usenet threads seldom stay on topic very long. Nevertheless, we were
discussing waxing/polishing gliders.
What did you contribute?

I researched car care products several years ago. Two car places I
talked to had nothing good to say about Zaino. Their concern was that
the manufacturer would not tell them what was in it, and they felt that
there would be refinishing problems if it was used. On various BMW web
sites there was hot debate about Zaino; but from what I saw the
negatives outweighed the positives. Unfortunately, I don't remember any
specifics now.

I decided to go with Meguiar's products for my BMW. For my glider I'm
sticking with WxSeal and WxBlock.
