Not to break my hand patting myself on the back but my car looks really good and what I've used isn't even close in price to what that Zaino does.No one ever said other products don't look very good. Many of use are coming from Meguiers products. I still use it on my cheap car.
I still wanna see someone who has used the Zaino park their car next to mine so I can see the BIG difference. My car has this "wet" look all the time so where is this so called "champ" called Zaino?, I challenge you for the undisputed championship of the world. Ding-Ding :p

Round one fighting words: over! j/k I last applied the second caot of the polish to my 00 silver SVT about 2 months ago. I just wash it every 1-2 weeks, otherwise driven almost dailiy rain or shine. I'm waiting on an order of the quick detailer right now, but I should stop by some time to compare. Maybe the Zaino users can convert a die hard detailer such as yourself. On silver paint, I think it's harder to compare the differences between products. Possible, but harder. Roger, are you going to the Snookers thing Sat the first? Generaly I don't have time for meets, but I can make time to meet you there, all shined up. Aaron (Round Two: the meeting)

If someone else can make the results without putting several coats on, or requiring very specific processes (risking paint damage by using dish soap or anything like that) I'm all for it. So far, I've found nothing that gives the work/price to results ratio of Zymol.
Round Two DING DING! I actually haven't seen a Zaino car look better than mine did with comparable mileage with Zymol.
Also, To be fair, any finish competition should be on the exact same car. Split the car in half front to rear, put one finish on one half, the other on the other half, and compare.

True, but I'm not willing to take Zaino off my car to do it. My 85 RX-7, though, I put Zaino on one quarter panel and the Meguiers one step cleaner/wax on the rest. The wax is gone, but that's not exactly good car to test.

I don't blame you for not wanting to take the Zaino off after the work of putting 6-8 coats in the first place.
I'd be more than willing to volunteer my car in the interests of science, but I'm not going to put the multiple coats on.
My initial test was two circles on the hood of my sister's 1988 Mazda B2200. I saw a difference there, I did not see a difference on my SVT.

I only have the Z1 (that you don't take off) one coat of Z5 and 2 coats of Z2 on my SVT. So, it's not a lot of work to reapply, but I'm still not willing to do it.
Honestly, the only thing that matters is that each user is happy with tghe product they use. I'm happy with mine and have no desire to change. I am, however, interested in how it looks compared to the other biggies. I think Roger has a similar view. It's just in fun.
