Great article. I am an avid Zaino user as well and I just want to share with you my pictures on my site of our client's vehicles using Zaino. Of course the preparation before the Zaino application is key, but Zaino definitely leaves a very durable layer of protection behind. I am going to stress to readers the importance of applying this product as thin as possible, to the point where you can barely see the product on the paint. Less is better! Like Sal from Zaino says, when in doubt, use less!! In terms of application and removal, I have yet to find a product that applies and removes as easily as Zaino. Have you tried Zaino All In One? Another great product. Hey Kevin!

All I can suggest is that you check with a couple of reputable body shops. Sorry I can't be of more help! Kevin @Ray:

The look was 70s, I was thinking that IF anyone knew of a way to "face lift" to like new without stripping it all off. Maybe the Gel Stain could work ?.
