Yes, it's a direct reflection. But this is after one application and not many coats like Zaino. And it's less than half the cost of Zaino.

I'm putting in an order and trying this out for myself.

klasse has two products... a cleaner with some sealant properties (All-In-One) and the sealant (Sealant Glaze)...AIO is paint cleaner (removes oxidation) but wont help out too much with swirling...the sealant itself is very good/durable product, but has been know to be tricky to apply correctly...the above pic shows the sealing properties of SG...but if you read the link alot of prep was done to the paint before hand..claying with two polishing steps..but both Klasse products are highly rated

You don't buy Zaino over Klasse for looks. You buy the Zaino because it lasts longer than Klasse.

Buy Klasse b/c of ease of use and decent protection.

Pictures are great and all.....but the fact is even the dollar wax at Walmart will make your car shine like no other. It is ease of use and lasting protection you are paying for. Good prep work will make even the cheapest sealants/waxes look awesome.

A little OT here:

This type of pic is all about angle of refraction. Obviously no wax will make it mirrorlike from every angle, but at that one special angle, most waxes (or even the clear coat by itself) will appear to make even light colors look like a mirror. This also tends to hide flaws... in other words, it may look better in pictures than real life!

But Zaino is still pretty impressive in real life, if you ask me. I think it would do Zaino a great justice to have someone like Dr. Bonz do a walkaround of his car with a camcorder, so you get the sense of the reflection and refraction at different angles.

Yeah I still use Zaino on my Z, just going to try something new on my truck and decide for myself. No doubt that web pictures can be deceiving. As for the prep work, I did the claybar before Zaino'ing also so that shouldn't make a difference.

I put an order in today, should have it next week.

As far as prep work I was talking about Polishing the finish to remove small blemishes and scratches and create a good finish for the wax/sealant to go on.
