Zanio Question
Ok folks, up here in Canada we have not had alot of exposure to Zanio. I read and see how good it looks, my detailing buddy say's Liquid Glass is way better. I'm not wanting to start a big "who ha" here, I just want the best for my car..thought's?..

Like most of the 'grey' members here in my four + decades of detailing I've seen/used one or two products along the way.
Easy to please, difficult to impress just about sums me up. Zanio (especially Z2PRO/ZFX)... I'm impressed

Liquid Glass does a great job on a white non-clear coat car. You can give it the look of a clear coat by applying a clay-bar just after washing. I would follow that with a good polish. I happen to like Meguiar's #83 applied with an orbital buffer. Slap some Polymer wax on and you will be stunned. I happen to like a 50/50 mix of Meguiar's Tech Wax and Liquid Glass. Just tried that for the first time over the weekend with stunning results. That is a NICE combination!
Never took to Zaino although it produces a nice wet look. The problem I had with it is that it attracted dust like a magnet and the wet look didn't last very long. I ended up giving two bottles of Zaino and the blue fixer away.
I am always looking for new ideas.

Liquid Glass will last longer than other wax products sold at auto supply stores, it will not outlast Zaino, and it does not offer the clarity that Zaino does.
Go with the Zaino...

LG is a real old skool product. High in solvents, has light abrasives, polymer technology is old, not much has changed with the product since the 1970's.
LG is a lot like Finish First, Meguiars #20, Klasse AIO, and a few others. Best suited for enamel and lacquer paint jobs but too solventy for modern, soft and thin clearcoat paint. It's strong enough to remove pretty serious tar residue.
I used to use Finish First a lot until I discovered more modern technology in products like Zaino, etc.
