I'm just losing interest in carnauba waxes. They are like wine to some, but I already have a wine collection. I'm looking to make money with these things, not excuses.
Yes, 99% of my client base request Zaino. I also feel the durability helps substantiate the higher cost of my detail jobs vs a carnuaba detail. The fact that multiple coats are applied also helps. Sure, they may come back more often if I use a wax but then they may not come back at all after their cars stops beading in 4 to 6 weeks. I have a few annual customers that do not touch their cars themselves and when they return they still show traces of polish. Not much but they would look a lot worse if they have had nothing on them for 9 months.

And as far as making money goes, you need to do quite a few details or up charge quite a bit to cover a $500 to $1700 LSP that most of my clients would not be able to differentiate between Z5p.

That said I do enjoy a change once in a while and will throw a coat of nuba on one my cars for a change.
