Durability, protection and shine are enhanced by correct pre-lsp procedures, not necessarily the end product.

That said, why limit your choice to two names?

Agree with ronkh57 on his replies. But if you wish to choose between the two products, I prefer Rejex. Easy to apply and remove, nice slick finish will last about 6 months.

Been using Zaino products for years. Very happy with the results. Works for me.

Then you asked an incomplete question. Z makes quite a few different products. Which do you have?

Used them both over the years, Rejex is simple, on off and last for a long time, is it better than Z, probably not, but a hell of a lot easier to work with. Z has all these different applications for this that and so on. Rejex is not going to make your car shine, but it will prolong and protect the shine you have!

As well as 22 drops of this, 3 drops of that. Shake, wait, apply, remove then re apply, remove, use the completed vial within x hours, repeat as desired....................

And z2 gives one look, z 5 a different, z2+5 another, 2,5,6,8 gives another...............

IMHO - If that's what you're using and like it, keep using it...

But then I don't understand why you're asking unless you have a feeling you are not getting the finished product you think you should.

I still think that you should wander over to the above provided link and look at current detailing trends/products and their attributes. Both of the products you mentioned are decades old technology. Even though they are still available today, there are many other newer products that offer the qualities you said were desirable.

Perhaps you believe using hyperbole makes your point more valid, but as anyone who has used Zaino products knows, you're characterization is twice as complex as what Zaino recommends. You do use the accelerator ZFX at the ratio of three drops to an ounce. That's it. There aren't 22 drops of anything. Then you do shake it up and wait for a few minutes before applying. That is so onerous that it is amazing anyone could figure out how to do it. After that it is pretty normal.

Or, if that's too much for you, use Zaino CS, spray it on and walk away. I think it is fair to say that's a pretty easy thing to do.

Of course you can go crazy with Zaino. Many people seem to love to apply coat after coat. But it's not necessary at all, and using CS is as easy and painless as anything available today. I don't care what anyone uses, but I think it is unfair to mis-characterize a product that is really much easier to use than indicated here.

Zaino CS
Blackfire Crystal seal
Ultima Paint Guard
Optimum Opti-Seal

With a simple polish and a 20 min spray on, ill never go back to stuff you have to buff, get out of badges and seams , and the gloss and durability is equal or better....like this. Step out of the 90’s and spend $20 for one of the above.

I've used both and prefer Zaino for durability. Both are easy on, easy off.

That makes tooooo much sense. There has to be a different way.

Perhaps your over inflated elitist ego getting in the way of your comprehension, you missed the fact that he said "easiest'.. Or combination of other factors. So considering the fact that you are jumping to foregone conclusions you make it easy to discount your reply.

So instead of trying to answer the gentleman's post you troll for a response.

Well you got it.

Have tried them all and Zaino has by far the best shine and durability. No more difficult than any other quality product,

So I'm interested in what "all" you've tried, and what the results were.
