A real comparable photo would tell the results better.

One in partial shade against a reflective (and close up )shot of the sky isn't much to compare with.

Sorry.. not a zainist.

Both look real nice to me. I really don't see much difference and why people fight over this product or that product.

I can appreciate billmiller8’s frustration as his simple attempt at an informative thread on Turtle Wax products took the usual death spiral to a lock out. I would also like to take the opportunity to apologize if he feels my replies played any role in it.

I’m not sure why bashing one product makes people feel better about what they use but it seems to be that way.

Zaino users are proud of the way their cars look. I think the reason they defend it so is the misinformation from the usual suspects that it is time consuming and expensive. Not to mention the creative name calling we endure.

Shine on (any way you like) to all…

congrats to the OP for a great looking car. What I do not get is "making rules" in your post saying no one can repond unless they agree with you. Its an open forum - express your opinion and move on.

Here we go.

Why? Because I know how these threads tend to take a turn for the worst and some people on here just like to instigate. I was hoping to keep it from going that way.

I just wanted to give an honest evaluation comparing it to what I was using. And compared to what I was using I think it had a better deeper look. My only regret is I didn't take the same close up pic before. I didn't even think about it until after I was done.

Use what you like, it's your car

Honestly, digital photo sensors are not going to pick up nearly as much as your eye does in person. Unless there are extremely apparent differences, the photos will pretty much look the same.

some of you guys are a bunch of fu*&^$# losers. If a thread is about a product and you like it, open it up, look, respond if you like, ask questions to inquire about the product and move on. If you use another or dislike a product, comment on why you don't like it cause if it's a viable reason others might not want to use it too. But to just troll threads trying to annoy another cause they don't use what you like is a sad sign of your personality..... I live in Nj, do i go on threads about florida or california car shows and pull out my proverbial co** and say look, carlisle is better than your shows..... WTF?? grow up. If one product was the best in the world then it would put all others out of business. Use what you like and leave others to use what they like... I thought corvette owners were above the rest, lmfao....

You can definitely tell the difference, and in person....the difference is even more dramatic. Looks really good.

Just for informational purpose, I ask JimTN to shut my thread down, not a death spiral lock out. Also it's not the bashing, it's the too many threads about z. It's free advertisement which is not fair to paying vendors on here. Thank you.

man, when i bought my first vette 2 weeks ago i was all excited to be part of a community i thought was better than other communities cause of class and mellowness. Now i see that it's the same sh!* everywhere you go.... That comment is the biggest baby sh!* i have ever seen in a grown man.... If you wash/wax your car with brillo and love the shine, post it a be proud. If you wash/wax with turtle wax, post pics and be proud. What ever you use be proud of it and POST pictures!!!!! people will have many nice things to say im sure because these cars are beautiful, even with mud on them... But to purposely troll for zaino threads to bash is pathetic.....
