Autoglym
I had 58 layers of a "very popular" polish among "Z" owners, but then was introduced to "Autoglym Bodywork Shampoo Conditioner, Super Resin Polish and Extra Gloss Protection"

Did not have many, if any "swirls" when I made the switch to Autoglym Shampoo, Resin Polish and Extra Gloss Protection. I was impressed with my first application. As you can see by the pic's, I take pride in my "Z". It is washed and polished weekly. I get my washing/application/removal towels from dftowel.com and my drying towels from pakshak.com.
Have not been one to see, regardless of the polish I use to see "how long does it last". There are some things I will continue to do (i.e. claying). With the "Resin Polish" you do the entire car and then remove. The "Extra Gloss Protection" goes on like water. Apply to the entire car, let dry (30-60 minutes) then buff. Both are extremely easy!
The "Bodywork Shampoo Conditioner" does not create a lot of suds. I questioned this at first, but use the amount recommended. It goes on and rinses off like conditioner (i.e. hair conditioner). Plus, I have found that "Autoglym" DOES NOT HAVE a magnetic attraction to road dust.

While I enjoy looking at the pictures of all the finely polished Z's, it's kinda like looking at the car from 50 feet away. They all look good. You can only tell good from bad in person with the naked eye.
I'll continue to enjoy the forum, but REALLY, I take the pictures with a grain of salt.

Less work with improved shine!
I had approximately 58 layers of Z5 and Z2. Gave Autoglym a try reluctantly, but needed to order some Zaino and was convinced by "Speed Dreams", while they tuned my "Z" after Vortech SC install, to try Autoglym.
I think the shine is deeper and feels smoother! Some have said and I must agree, that Zaino attracts dust at road level. Autoglym does not! Before someone says, "that is because he is uses micro fiber towels and they build up static while drying". I don't! I use DF Towels and remove them from dryer while damp and let them air dry.
The "Resin Polish" goes on and comes off very easy. Despite being a "white" cream, NO buildup in the cracks. I apply the "Extra Gloss" using a DF Towel " wash mitt". It has the consistency of water. It is applied after removing the "Resin Polish". Allowed to a haze (30-60 minutes) and then removed.
I started the switch by doing a "Dawn" wash. I follwed that with a wash using the "Bodywork Shampoo Conditioner", but follow the instructions. Only use amount specified! It does not create a lot suds in the bucket or on the car. But it works!

At "Speed Dreams" here in Albuquerque, NM. I think he will ship.
You can contact them at: www.speeddreamsmotor@qwest.net or 505-883-8388. Ask for Tripp. I know some other places that have it, but "Speed Dreams" is offering it in 500 ml / 16.9 fl. oz. Vs 3.25 ml at almost the same price.
