Scooter, Shawn, and NSXNEXT aint got nothing on this ZAINO shine!!!!!!

Here are close up pics of the Panels to prove that Zaino is the best. I challenge anyone to try to outshine this. The pic of the back pillar is the most amazing. C'mon Shawn,Scooter, and NSXNEXT...........Lets see what you got!!!!!! Its all in good fun

Looks good...

I can tell you without a doubt I can get my car to look like that without Zaino. Blackfire does a kickass job. The only drawback is its durability, which isn't on par with Zaino. But so far, I've loved its durability and the shine... Well... it looks just as good as Zaino.

And as it was said here in an earlier thread, the type of light will make any car look good.

Just to show you AGAIN pics don't mean squat, here's the trunk of my car, in my garage w/ no lights on, with the sun setting. It hasn't been washed in 2 weeks, waxed in a month, polished in 2 months & it's my daily driver.

Now guess which product I use?

Thanks!

Not bad for 6 years old (well in December it will be 6 years).

I guess my point is "it's in the photograpy".

My car has never been waxed since I've owned it!

I have the dealer applied Teflon coating and I use "their" cleaner/protectant twice, yearly. This is what is looks like right after applying the cleaner/protectant.

Overall, the paint remains shiney all year, but my car has quite a number of paint chips, scratches, and dents.

I'd NEVER win a "Zaino" competition, but it still looks great!

Nick - I killed that shined with black fire. If only my boy will give me back my damn digi cam. I clayed my car last weekend and put on blackfire Gloss enhancer, and then 3 coats of the protectant. I went over it yesterday with zaino quick detailer and I can tell you the shine that ericS has on his black car, is dull compared to mine. No offense ericS!!!! Zaino is ok, and like blackfire, after a million coats, anything will shine like that.

Further proof, I gave my parking attendant my valet key and HE ALWAYS parks me in the front of my lot just because of my BF shine! He loves to look at it and doesn't want no one to mess with my car. :P :P

You're missing the point!!! First of all, my car is blue, not black. Secondly, it's dirty as fuck right now. But can you tell it in the pics??? Nooooo... I just went out to the garage, snapped a quick picture at an angle that gave a good reflection of the sky and posted it. And the picture looks just as shiny/reflective as (maybe better than ) Nicky Pass's pictures.

You guys ever heard of critical angle in optics?

Just like dustbuster said, it's all in the photography.

BTW, I don't use Zaino or any of those products you listed....

Pics CAN make some look better than it really is. The best way to compare is in person; i.e. the PAA Zain-off...

Man i was joking with you :P You have a 03, your car should be shiney, just by washing it alone. I have years of abuse. My car has so many rock chips that it doesn't make sense. You can't tell tho. I know about the different angles of light. At one angle this morning as i was leaving my car, I almost got blinded by the sun glare.
