i was trying to decide between zaino and zymol....but those pics have convinced me!!!
how long did it take, and what products/process did you use??
did it cover up light scratches and swirls??

Zaino is awesome...and yes if you use it correctly it can "remove" light scratches and swirls. *Doesn't really remove scratches and swirls, the polish simply fills them in.
I have 20 coats...the more the better!

Looks great!.....however, I get the same results with Liquid Glass and it's only $20 a bottle
Looks like my driveway made itself as part of my Z. You can even see the clouds
You can clearly see the house in this one.

And as far as how long it took me to zaino no freakin clue I had some other detailing probs to work out ( spot hell...) And ended up claying my car 3 times pouring vinegar on the damn thing and washing it twice folowed by zaino fine scratches, gloss enhancer, show polish and then more gloss enhancer.. ( I had to stop there I couldn't stand not driving my car anymore.. )
Conquer Z looks great! Super Black is probably a lot better at showing reflections, LS just seems to reflect lighter colors but nothing looks better in the sun!

Look'in good!
I was going to try Zaino but decided that I wanted something that took less time to apply and produced similar results so I went with Klasse AIO/SG instead...I'm hooked. I'll never go back to carnauba again. In the past I had tried a bunch of Meguiar's products, Zymol, Blitz and P21S...which were great....but acrylic protection lasts sooooo much longer than traditional waxes.
Here's the result of using a Porter Cable with Einszett Paint Polish, Klasse All-In-One and Klass Sealant Glaze.

Looks good but.....I just don't understand you guys that waste all that time and money on Zaino's 30 step process when a coat of Meguiers NXT will give exact results (this has been tested and proven by some friends and I). Don't you people have anything else to do? Sh*t, I'm lucky if I find time to wash my damn car.

sure its shiney, but looks at his pics, his orange looks way better. its a personal preference, theres nothing wrong w/ taking the time to use zaino on your car

UPDATE: I am at 6,700 miles now and still have not washed my car yet. And it still has the wax I paid the dealership to apply on it when I bought it. And it still is the cleanest Z I ever see in the Bay Area! (Non-believers whatever). I maintain it with some MOC wash n wax that the dealer gave me and it's probably enough to last me 5 years. I wouldn't want to spend hours out of a day applying multiple coats and claybar etc., etc., and I don't like to have to wash either, but I don't mind spending a few minutes every other night when I come home to polish off the car with a spray bottle mixture of the wash n wax and water and a cotton towel and keep it looking tiiiight......!
Oh yeah, don't forget the California Duster either.

I use the Meguiar's Cleaner Wax...is the NXT better? I waxed mine this weekend but will look into the nxt if you guys think it's superior. How often do you guys wax with it?
