Default Zaino for Silver colored cars?

It seems that most of the Zaino users are owners of Black or dark cars.

Does it have the same positive results for us lighter colored car owners?

I am deciding between NXT and Zaino.

All suggestions are appreciated.

Roger

While probably not as noticeable, YES! Go ZAINO! Become a "Zainoholic".

I have a Chrome Silver Touring and have 3 X's Zainoed it. The luster appears deep and very metallic looking. I believe Zaino would be a good choice. Iv'e never used NXT for comparison..

I started off with Zaino Z5 which produced a very nice, glossy shine. A few days later I tried Z2, and the results were even better! I read later that the Z2 is what produces the greatest shine--the Z5 is compatable and comparable, but more for darker cars and filling in swirl marks.

My son's car is pewter and he mostly uses the Z-5/ZFX and it glows. You can use either the Z-2 or the Z-5.

My daily driver is a silver Subaru. I used Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection (UPP) on that vehicle and it really made a difference. I never had better results with another product on silver, but I have not tried Zaino so I can't draw a comparison.

I noticed a slight difference after 2 coats of Z2+ZFX on my Silverstone.

Barely noticeable.

Its very slick though...and its protecting my paint. Thats the main thing.

i've used three coats of nxt in the first month of ownership and couldn't be happier. got the booster wax and used it on the last two washes. really easy, really shiny, and slick as the day is long. i'm a believer in the nxt.

Zaino for sure. Be careful though the smell is addictive.

Seriously though, Zaino works great and seems to last longer than waxes.

You should also check out the new Crystal Guard products. They are very nice as well.

I had 9+ coats of Z5 and Z2 on my CS for a while. Didnt do much. I switched to NXT 2 months ago. With only one coat of NXT, you honestly cannot tell a difference between the two.

I don't doubt Zaino is a little more durable than NXT. But I think NXT is just as good if not better, in every other category.

35Ounces: NXT is Meguiar's NXT "tech wax", which really is a polymer based car wax/protectant.

I have a bottle of it, pretty good stuff and it only costs $12 a bottle. But I still like to use Blackfire on my Z (it's Chome Silver)
