Does look really nice. Really brings the peal-ness out in the color.

Bigger pics maybe though?

NXT is definitely good for a quick shine but it doesn't last too long.

I put at least one coat of NXT on per month... sometimes 2...

I could probably cut back on doing it so often if I used Zaino, but the fact that NXT is available in retailers is a big attraction to me. Ordering Zaino only at zainostore.com just seems like more work to me than waxing the car once a month...

I don't really understand why they don't put Zaino is stores? It's gained quite a following and they could make a killing more if they just put it in AA, Advance Auto, NAPA, etc. I'm proof b/c I would buy it if it were at a retailer...

OP, did you use to NXT paste or liquid?

Has anyone here ever done a comparison of the two?

I've used nearly a full bottle on the liquid on mine and love the stuff. It doesn't last very long, a month maybe, but the ease of use makes up the difference to me.

I recently used a can of the Meg. Gold class paste on my beater Ranger and it came out with a gorgeous deep luster and mirror shine and have considered switching to paste wax on the Z. I'd like to know how the NXT paste compares to both the NXT liquid and the Gold class paste.

I can wax my Z (one coat), by hand, in about 45 minutes. If I remember correctly it was ~$15 a bottle.

Oh, and slightly off topic, I picked up my first Claybar a couple weekends ago, what a great product!

I have used them both on my SB and the liquid has a deeper shine- IMO. It's also a bit easier to work with.

Been using Meguires now for about 2 years on my truck and my Z works pretty good but I have never tried Zaino so I cant compare the two. I use a rotary buffer and my paint looks like glass.

I use the claybar on the flat surfaces, hood, roof and tail then hit it with the Crystal Polish and then NXT Liquid with a Dual Action Polisher and the shine and smoothness the finish is unbelievable and can do the whole car in about an hour. The finish gets better if you let the wax cure overnight and then put a second coat on.
