Anybody ever use this stuff? I got a guy at work who swears by it. I got a couple light scratches in my new paint that I got to take care of. This guys says it's the way to go. Any feedback on this or other products appreciated.

Love it. It's all I use on both bikes. It's especially good on black bikes. Send them an email if you have specific questions but their website is quite informative.

I use Zaino. But depending on how deep the scratches are it may or may not help. You might want to try harley swirl remover or Macguiars scratch x first.

The scratches are just surface scratches, you can see them but you can't feel them. Does that make sense? I also have this product called ace it scratch remover that I bought at the lame *** Valley Forge bike show.

The Zaino product line is incredible. I am a Chevrolet dealer in Montana. For years we had a paint and body shop. During those years I was exposed to every product available. Several years ago I met Sal Zaino, the owner of Zaino Brothers. Great guy and an awesome product. We use it here at the dealership on every Corvette that we sell. I use it personally on my vehicles and on my Harley. You won't go wrong buying and using Zaino products. Check out their website here: http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc

If you call, tell Sal that Ken Fichtner sent you!

I tried Zaino and wasn't impressed with its durability. Griots Best Show Wax is what I use now...looks just as good and it lasts a long time.

Been using zaino bros. wax for 10 years. The best wax I have ever used. If it was any easyer to use , it would apply and remove itself. The more coats you apply the more depth to the paint.

I've been using it for the past nine years, best stuff I've ever used, and their Z-8 detailer is unbelievable. Here's some photos from their customers. http://www.zainostore.com/

Zaino's is good stuff but if the scratches are very deep at all, you'll never be able to create enough heat with your hand to permenately repair them. A good D/A (Porter Cable 7424) will go a long way to taking care of everything up to moderate scratches. I'd stay away from any of the off the shelf "scratch repair" products offered at Wal-Mart and most automotive stores. There are a lot of very good products out there like Zaino's (Chemical Guys, Adam's Polishes and Detail King just to name a few).
