I had the opportunity to finally apply some Z8 to my Brickyard this weekend. As promised I took a few comparison pics. The Z6 pic's are older ones that some may have seen already. In person you can definitely see a huge diff in the depth of the shine from Z8 vs Z6.
The pics seem to show the reflect the dif, but really don't do justice to how well the Z8 works. You immediately notice a much richer / deeper shine with Z8. The metalic in the Brickyard stands out much more. This stuff is awesome!! I'll be ordering more soon.
Here are the Z6 pic's:

Wow! Those pics looks nice. Z8 and z2 PRO are getting a lot of raves. It must be one helluva product. If only I don't have a lot of wax on my arsenal I definitely would like to try the new zaino products. Maybe when im done with my $70 Pinnacle souveran.

Maybe you're not holding it right?...........
Honestly, I could see why it'd be hard to see a difference on a SB. The true test will be to see how well it holds up. Even if you can't see a visual difference, if it holds up longer and truely does provide more protection (if it holds up longer then I'd expect the added protection is a given) then for me it's worth the investment.
In my case the difference in shine is quite obvious especially in direct sunlight.
Prior to disclosing he was using Z8 I had asked Dr Bonz if he wet sanded his car (03 BY for those who don't know) because of the exceptional shine. He said no but didn't reveal that he was using Z8. Granted he's at 84 coats of Zaino versus my 28 but after 1 application of Z8 I see the shine on my Brickyard looking a lot more like his.
Now if I could only get him to hand over that body kit!

That body kit (at least the Kaminari lip and the driver's side skirt) are being repainted right now fixing up some scratches.
I think that Z-8 is an awesome product and it smells INCREDIBLE! Like a tropical drink or something.
I had used a sample of it awhile back but Sal swore me to secrecy until he released it. I think the Brick just seems to show how good these products are better than the other colors. I LOVE this color!

To be honest I couldnt see a big difference either. The paint definitely felt a little smoother though and it seems to repel dust unlike how Z-6 tends to attract it.
The smell is pretty intoxicating!
Bix your pics are also a little unfair. The Z-6 ones look like they were shot in late afternoon while the Z-8 ones were shot around noon. A lot more shadows in the first set.
