I turned the car around to show the same reflection so we could compare.. Like the reflection of the stairs and grass. One is Blackfire and the other Zaino. Also the reflection of the benz.

I think after looking close at the pictures, like the one with the reflection of the stairs/concrete and grass......I might have to lean more towards the ZAINO. I'm not sure yet. I think I'll go look at my Z some more and try to figure it out. I'll try to get some pictures in the sun or with some more trees for reflection. Michigan really sucks.. everything here is a different shade of grey. I think my car belongs in Miami. It would probably look 10 times better.

I don't see any difference but it really is impossible to judge with these pics alone. These are not controlled lighting conditions or angles. Also, it's harder to tell on the LS color I think.

The proof, I believe, will be in 6 weeks when you run your hand over the Zaino side and it still feels like glass and the water sheets right off while the BF side will show a little more wear.

Just my opinion.......(and the opinions of about two dozen Guru Report testors).

To my eyes, and this is purely personel perspective, the Zaino seems to have slightly sharper reflections when directly comparing pictures (I saved the images and put'em side by side in Photoshop).

Could be my monitor or vid card or whatever, but that's just the only major difference I could see. Durability remains to be seen.

gotta hand it to BF for the ease of use tho. From the pics... both look really good. I guess all thats left is the durability test.

Request: How about adding the All paint protection and Zaino on the wheels?? Test to see how easy brake dust is removed after a couple of weeks.
