Your car looks great! Our Corvettes have incredible paint, with plenty of reflectivity. The finish will react favorably by application of most any product. The important thing is that you're using these products to protect the paint.

Black cars are dust magnets. imo, Zaino does make it slightly less of a problem. I think it may depend on where you live and your environment. For me, I don't have too much of a problem but when the mower guy comes to my house or next door I can plan on having to do a quick detail. The dust just gets in the air. I guess it's just life in the black lane.

Understood but you have to apply it and in this case all I did has wipe an area with a damp Zaino buff towel.
BTW the rest of the hood has last Fall's Meguiar's Cleaner Wax - Liquid on it...
I have used many products through the years and am very satisfied with those from Zaino.
Not sure why some take issue with that, they are welcome to stop by, detail my truck and convince me otherwise.

I use Rejex because its simpler & works for me right now.. but will say this about the Zaino guys:
1) Zaino maintained Vettes always have the most impressive appearance in pictures posted on this forum. Even more impressive is the range of colours from black to red to blue to gray to white. Every colour pops and reflects like a mirror. Say what you want about how expensive it is or how long it takes.. but the results are proof that the product works.
2) The entire Zaino "process" is simply the correct process anyone detailing their vehicle should follow. Any detailer worth his money will follow the same method where you go from prepping to cleaning to polishing to sealing to waxing to a final product if desired. Its not necessary to do every step, but if you want your car looking its best then its what you have to do.
3) Wolfdog has personally demonstrated the Zaino product line and shared pricing with me. I've seen how good and how easy the product is to use first hand. I dont know how anyone can drive a $50,000 car.. and complain that spending a $100-150 bucks in detailing supplies is "too expensive". Yes the Zaino line is more expensive that other products on the shelf.. but it does seem to require less product, last longer and look better.
For the first time since I bought my C6 14 months ago, I'll finally be able to garage it uncovered.. instead of leaving it parked outside under a car cover. I look very much forward to investing the $$$ into a D/A polisher, pads, towels & the Zaino kit. With the results I've seen from others.. Im extremely excited to see exactly how great my baby can look from spending a few hundred bucks & a good weekend of elbow grease.
