Well its now been almost a month and a half since the SZ 06 wax off between Pete and Roger representing Zaino and Pinnacle & Klasse. After a month, before I washed the car, I sprayed the car down with water and I couldnt see or feel a difference between shine, touch, ability to repel dirt, or how water beaded. However, today I could distinctly see a difference. Here are some pics I took of before and after washing the car. The results are quite obvious before washing the car. Zaino was applied on the passenger side and Pinnacle and Klasse on the drivers. This is the 3rd time the car has been washed since SZ 06.

Anyone got shots of my car when Kevin and I did the same thing, but one side Meguires and the other Harley Davidsons?

The difference was ridiculous

And so it is, Zaino FTW

Interesting to see! Thanks for conducting a long-term test. Keep in mind that I only applied one coat of Zaino vs the Klasse AIO, Klasse SG and Pinnacle Souveran.


Comments on pics:

Keep in mind that the pic below is the true indicator of how well the wax is holding up or not.

The pic below is not an indicator of how well the wax is holding up. Car wash soaps contain lubricants, oils and minerals that nourish the paint. Pre-wash water test is the only way to determine wax durability. Spraying water on the surface after a wash means nothing.

Next year, I'm bringing a full arsenal.

perhaps next year we could have another competitor Pete to go up against you? See if another product can live up to Zaino. I'll be more than happy to offer up our car again.

Well theres no doubt that in the first pic theres more beading on Pete's side and my side the water just ran off somewhere, where did it go


Now check out this pic...


To me, my side looks to be darker, but maybe its just the pic. How does the car look when its raining out and its just sitting
