I ordered both Zaino & Blackfire will use both & post results
This is what I was talking about.
Zaino on the right, Blackfire on the left.
I know the reflections aren't perfectly symetrical, but the lighting is pretty close and I don't think would lend much to the differences here.
To me the Blackfire reflection looked more fuzzy (the grill area and the ring around the headlights) and didn't seem to pick up the colors around it as well (ie: the white looks more white in the Zaino side, the Blackfire side reflected car looks more orange like the paint).
Least that's what I see.

The only shine test is ever going to be accurate is to have 2 identical Z's parked side by side at a meet, where one used Zaino and the other used blackfire. Durability is only going to be tested if no more coats are going to be added. But if you add more coats, you will be able to tell if one product benefits more from repeat usage.

I think a good test would be the "wheel in the door" picture he did since you'll get a consistant angle.
And I don't think he was shaking. The entire picture would be blurry, not just sections. It also wouldn't have effected the color.
It's not which is better, it's which is a closer perspective, but even in that one, the darker areas (shadows in the grill, rings around the headlights) aren't as dark as the Zaino. They are more orange like the paint.
My goal is to get a "Me Pic" like yours Dr. Bonz. I hope this can be done with the Lemans Sunset color. Thats one of the reasons why I bought the Zaino... Your the man Doc!!

Like I've said a dozen times, Blackfire WILL shine as brightly (maybe even MORE brightly) than Zaino. BUT (and this is a BUT bigger than J-Lo's), it WILL NOT LAST AS LONG AS ZAINO!
Zaino is UNEQUALLED in the DURIBILITY tests!

You are alone.
You have been forsaken by Dr Zaino and Yoda.
Even THEY realize that no force can beat the brilliance and the shine of Blackfire.
Life is not a question of durability, since many things can be done again. What matters is how deep and bright the glow is !

mkay, people are coming into my office to make sure I'm okay =)
Washed my Zaino'ed car this past weekend - after drying it, it looked like I had just Zaino'ed - amazing shine.
Unfortunately, I don't think you're going to see that mirror like quality that you can see on a Brick or Super Black on the lighter colors - I also have a Le Mans Sunset (which, as you know, really is the best color), but you're not going to dive into the color like like you can on the black ones.
OMG! Hell is freezing over, Yoda's ears are frozen and crack. The Dr actually said that Blackfire may shine better than the dreaded Zaino!

I'd say the Zaino side looks better. The reflection is clearer and crisper. The BF pics have fuzzy, hazy reflections. Kudos to Zaino. I'm a new convert. Just finished using Zaino last weekend. I clayed it, 4 coats Z5, 3 coats Z2. It looked pretty good. But let it be know that Z5 is good for masking only hairline swirls/scratches. I need to do a little grinding before the next application. All in all though, Zaino is awesome.
