Ultimate wax for the M5

I totally concur that Zaino is the best paint care system out there! I was confirmed Zymol products user until a friend's never-ending raves about Zaino convinced me to give it a try on my wife's Cosmos Black Metallic E34 M5. I had to get motivated, since it's a multiple-step system that's a bit time-consuming at first (removal of all old wax with a solution of Liquid Dawn first, followed by claying the entire surface, then application of a polish lock, then swirl remover, then gloss enhancer). However, the process yields spectacular results and maintenance is quick and easy afterwards if you keep up with it (use of Zaino car wash and gloss enhancer, periodic application of swirl remover for a really deep shine). It also requires use of nothing but 100% cotton towels (I use specially prepared towels bought through Aardvark Towels; unfortunately, the owner is no longer accepting orders, but he does have instructions on how to make your own at:

As was noted, http://www.zainobros.com is the website for Zaino information and ordering. One final plus: the firm's owner, Sal Zaino, is readily available to personally answer technical questions, both on-line and via phone. I've gone from skeptic to believer as far as Zaino is concerned - no affiliation, just a satisfied user.

Best thing I like about Zanio is it is easy to put on and comes off just as easy. I must have Zanioed my car over 15 times in 4 months. It is addictive . Car looks better then new everytime I use it. Like I said before, you will love this product. It also last longer then any other wax type product I have used. Oh, and remember Zanio isn't a wax it is a polish, but protects better then a wax.

Tom,

The answers to most of your questions will be found on the Zaino web site:
http://www.zainobros.com

Be sure to read the FAQ and the description of the various products.

As I mentioned earlier, the initial preparation and application can be time-consuming because of the number of steps involved and the waiting time for certain products to dry. After that, regular maintenance is very quick and easy - much quicker than Zymol maintenance and the results have far exceeded my expectations.

From what I've seen, the Zaino products work equally well on all types of finishes - solids, metallics, lights, darks, etc.

Suggest you check with them regarding availability outside the US. With a few exceptions, I think they prefer to deal directly, rather than through distributors.
