done getting your panties up in bunch? I just stated that your comparison was obsurd matching apples to peanuts forget oranges. As you see, I'm not the only one who thinks your "original" statement was over the top.

I just dont understand why people think Zaino cost so much (z-2...z-2...z-2).. the intelligence factor involved in arriving to that conclusion just makes me want to talk to this wall here to my right :banghead:

alright sorry dudes if i seem like i am angry. its fustrating because when you post a comment and it seems like someone is flaming you for no reason then it will irritate you. when you call my statement absurd i take offense to that. i have been on other forums and have not encountered this type of comments. people don't have to agree all the time but all this un-provoked negativity sucks.

I used the Zaino product on my Porsche & just used the NXT on the TL last weekend. I put one coat on Friday & another coat on Sunday. I've ordered some Megulairs #16 to put on top of the NXT per some very good results I read about on autotopia, where I ordered the #16 & the NXT wash since I could not find these at Walmart or Kragens. Once I complete the #16 coat, get my new 255/40/17 tires & the tinting, I'll post some pictures. The NXT process was much easier in my eyes. Not that Zaino is bad, but with all the steps it was way too time consuming.

I have the exact same car (Anthra 6pd/Navi/18's) on order as we speak. I was debating changing to black....but now that I have seen it in your pics...I am happy

More shots would help solidify my position

good to hear that the results from the nxt are good. i have been reading from autopia as well. and have contemplated using #16 as well since i have that sitting at home from my last car. also some have recommended putting on #26 instead. This goes out to the zaino crowd as well, suppose to put on a even nicer shine.

Although I consider zaino an expensive boondogle I would like to make one point clear, no synthetic paint protectant that is non abrasive will remove any scratches. Scratch removal entails "polishing" which essentially means microscratching the scratch out!

the synthectic scratch removal is suppose to fill in the scratch. a rubbing compound would scratch the scrach out(sounds stupid).

What's the effort difference between Z2 + Z6 and NXT + #16? I honestly don't know.

Z6 and #16 are different products. #16 is a paste wax, while Z6 is a spray on, wipe off shine enhancer.

It would seem that applying Z6 is much faster than applying a paste wax

i dunno if its faster to apply Z6 than #16 even tho one is a paste. you still wipe on wipe off. just that one comes in a spray can, and the other in a can. the paste wax is suppose to give an extra added layer of shine. its a pure wax and has no other polishes/cleaners or polymers mixed in.

These guys obviously don't read our posts that say you don't have to use all the steps. I guess these same people "shampoo, rince and repeat", just because the directions tell them to.

I washed my car with some microfiber cloths and -- believe it or not -- plain water. I just rubbed the dirt off. I didn't feel the need to use soap of any sort.
