Yeah the stuff is awesome but it took a lot longer to dry and the added cost was not worth the result for my personal taste....I wax my car way to often and don't really care how long it lasts....one thing I really did like about it was that it really seamed to bring out the color in my paint (pearl). I'm currently using P21S and it looks good....not as good as Zaino, but I cax wax my car in 15 minutes with the P21S.

I was in no way knocking Zaino...I just said in a photo it won't matter what wax you have they will all produce a refection like that with paint that is smooth as glass. [sm=Flahssssss.gif]

I've read A LOT of reviews and side by side comparissions online after seeing that site, including one on an NSX forum that was blindly judged by about 50 people and Zaino won hands down in every review. 87% of people that blindly judged Zaino vs. 4 other kinds of wax chose the Zaino section.

They then let it the body panel sit outside and washed it regularly and sprayed water on it and then retested everything after 6 months and the Zaino surface was just as good as the day they put it on and none of the other ones were any better than the unwaxed surface.

I agree that those cars all look that good because they have good paint jobs but from what I gather Zaino is the ****. I mean, if people are buying it for $120 a package it has to be working.

Looks like we need to have "SHINE COMPETITION" between Zaino and whatever Forty uses...

HAHAHA...Yeah, but lets hold it in MN so I can see it.

I honestly think wax works differently on every car...especially when the car has been repainted because all paints are different. I've tried tons of waxes and I suggest others do the same and use what works best for you.

Wow, that's some crazy shine. The girls could use it as a mirror

I use the same wax as Forty.. Royal blue..

I plan on washing my car inside and out very very well sometime end of this week since its gena be in the 70s. When im done ill take one of those reflection shots and u can compare. Ill be using RoyalBlue. Also note that its 10 year old, daily driven paint thats never been touched up, i figure thats a pretty good way to show how good RoyalBlue is for the price and ease of use.
