beep beep - back up that truck . . .

you arent serious are ya ?

there isnt a wax on the planet that will outlast a top quality polymer . . .
that might sound like an extreme statement - but -
unless you wax it and then place it in a vacuum sealed container, it just isnt going to happen . . .

but Im glad you really really like what you use . . . thats the important thing . .

p.s. -GREAT PICS

I'm sorry but #26 is mainly a carnauba, and lasts about 90 days at best.

Zaino is quite durable, but is not as durable as Blackfire and aobut the same as Klasse. Then again, 80% of the people only know about Zaino and they don't do more research on other products. Not to say Zaino is not a good product, but it's not the best and relatively expensive too.

Before you Zaino-holics start flaming me, know that I detail for money and have tried pretty much everything on the market. I can back up what I say. I like Zaino for it's reflectiveness and durability, but the fact that they make people think you need to use all these products is silly. Plus it is not a hard finish and attracts dirt fairly easily, and it has no depth. For you Zaino lovers out there, try topping your Zaino finish with a quality carnauba such as the S100 wax. I'm sure you'll love it. The surface will be super slick and emit a warm glow at dusk.

To achieve almost the same result without paying for Zaino this and that, and a jar of S100, try BlackFire. It is also polymer based, and is even more durable that Zaino.

I still believe carnauba is the only way to go for the most beautiful finsh, and the winners of Concours 'de Elegance seem to agree.

the differences in hi-end products are slight -
but they do exist . ..

also, comparisons need to be judged toughly, and in the same time and manner as far as application to be fair . .

most people cant do that - and dont - but judge results based on variables, like different car, prep method, time of day, angles, lighting, amounts used, measuments etc . . .

the polymer v. carnauba battle will last forever . .and there should be no winner - they are different.

also, dont stop testing - and re-testing. I know one manufacturer that is continually improving existing lines, and former results cant be used to compare with other products . . .

cheers
