OK so I parked next to MrV last night. One of our cars is Zaino'ed and one of our cars is Auto Glym'ed and we thought it would be interesting to se if you could tell which was which.

So from the picture below can you tell which is the Zaino'ed car - left or right?

Obviously the one on the right is Zaino'd. It has a far superior shine

and it has nothing to do with the fact that you left the number plates on and that MrV and Vixen recently posted a thread about their car and Zaino..or was it Zanio?

Would it help if the pictures were:

a) in focus
b) in daylight
c) had more pixel things
d) featured more car and less surrounding

do you think?

Just a bit?

Maybe?

Anyway, clearly the car in the background, which I happen to know used Zymol, has the superior shine.

Look - I tried to mask the plates but I kept getting that "failed to create image" crap in the phot album.

Just look at the shine.

They both look very similar, but it is too hard to tell - first of all the picture is of low quality, it was taken in bad light and this makes it very difficult to determine.

But, I really don't think anyone doubts that Autoglym can make a car shine. On Silverstone it would be hard to compare ANY polishes / waxes, on a black car it would be different. The differences in these products not only lies with the shine but with the protection of the paintwork, the ease of applying / removing (white dust), swirl removal, and the longevity of the shine.

Try comparing two cars that have been equally cared for, but with the different products over 2-3 years

Kelk, the general opinion is that you need to take better photo's.
