I wish BlackFire would have been in this test. I'd really like to see it included against Zaino.

The Zaino kicked ass in that test.

I agree with Scrib though. There should've been more waxes in that comparison.

yea, I agree, but it also looks like the test panels took some sever weather hits. We rarely even see rain out here, i'd like to see how they think this stuff holds up in good weather. Cause i'm definately getting a lot more time out of my NXT then these guys are.

It's a good product, but let's put it this way. I bought into the hype 2 years ago and spend $90 on their products. I tried it once, was really impressed, haven't used it since. It's a great product, but IMO it's nothing close to a be all that ends all.

I've been just as happy w/ NXT, while it may not last as long, i'm definately getting more then a month out of it, and I don't mind waxing once a month or so, esp. w/ the NXT which I can put on and remove in about 15-20 minutes.

My thoughts on zaino is, they have you putting on all different products, IMO a good polishing and a good wax yeilds the same results.

well in that case, i'm probably not even gonna bother. i have a brand new paint job that is flawlessly taken care of, and garage kept. as for the longevity of products, i could care less, since i detail my car so often, the wax never has a chance to really even break down.

exactly my thoughts. I'm actually planning on doing a half zaino/ half NXT experiment on my parents 5 year old navigator next weekend. Problem is the car is silver and the results won't be very different.



Bought a gallon of DACP # 83 today
