I'm not yet certain that Zaino is right for JB. It is a great product, no doubt, but the fact that it's "100% optically perfect" means that it hides nothing. I did try Z5 also and it doesn't seem to hide much.

I think I'd be better off using a wax for JB because it has a tendency to hide minor imperfections that are simply unavoidable on a JB car. I will be using it again once the hot weather comes to see if the results are better.

that's pretty much all i've used the past 5 years..... clay, Z5, Z6, Z5, Z6, Z2, Z6, Z2, Z6

I'm sure it lasts longer, and probably protects better too.... but damn, this thing is pretty freaking glossy.

Yeah, that sounds like me too. The only problem is all that application is putting swirls on my monaco blue... even with the z5. Maybe it's my towel... even though it's 100% cotton zero twist.

Yeah, let me know how it goes. I was thinking buying all those things too since spring is around the corner. Haven't washed my car in a while.
