For both sides of Zaino vs. everything else war, stop using pictures. Pictures lie and hide many defects. The particular camera and lighting can change how the pictures turn out.

ExtremeLX,

I don't get into attacking any products. Every product has its purpose otherwise it wouldn't sell. However, I believe you are quite lacking in your knowedlge and/or experience with Zaino products. I wouldn't be surprised if you are as ignorant about detailing as some other "professional detailers." It doesn't matter how long you have been doing it.

None of Zaino paint products are abrasive. The sealants are best used when the paint is in perfect condition. So, ideally Zaino users have to use buffers and rubbing compounds anyway. Ther eis noi replacement for them - notice Perry's post within the last couple weeks. It's called preparation and there are a lot of good products from various brands. I use 3M and am pleased with the products I have used. Are there better? Maybe, but I don't slander other products because what I used and like must be the best for everyone else under all circumstances.

"Paying out of your ass for this [explitive]"

One bottle of Z1 and a bottle of Z2 is all that is required and costs a whole $22. The bottle of Z2 lasts typical users between 20-30 coats. Z1 is used once per year or every 10 coats. I don't see how that is expensive. I have paid $10 for other brands of wax in the stores only to get fewer coats.

Sealant vs. wax:
The resulting look is distictly different. Some prefer the classic carnuba look, especially on dark color cars. Some like the mirror-like finish of the sealants. Take a look at this for a little more and then the forums at www.autopia-carport.com already mentioned. There are strenghs for each which means users have a choice depending on how it fits their detailing needs.

You have clearly showed your ignorance about Zaino products. If you like what you use and it fits your needs, great! I like to see perfect looking cars. But do not say all other products are junk.

Everyone, Use what you like. Like what you use. Then STFU. Provide tips, tricks, info and experiences, but quit with the supiriority compelexes!
