I have been a Zaino guy for 15 years. Seems to be pretty good. The 2 things I'm looking for differently are hiding swirls a little and also I am not a fan of the ZFX, z-AIO, or the Z-CS. I do still have plenty of the z-8, z-6, soap, z-AIO and Z-CS. The ZFX is a pain as it dries up. I acutally used to like the old Z1 setup. But anyway, I'm looking for a change. I have a newer magnetic color mustang that is in very good paint condition other then factory orange peel. I have done Zaino and it looks fine and 8 months later beads like new. Stays in the garage and comes out every nice day it can. If I look hard enough at the paint in the sun or the right lighting I can see a hint of a very light swirl line here and there. Not near enough to hit with polish. I was hoping I could finish with something to hide those few last swirls and have a wet look.
Then I have an 05 Pure Black mustang that also only comes out in nice weather. The paint had a lot of swirls and scratches when I bought it. I have done a pretty good go at it with M105 and M205. It has a great shine because almost no orange peel left so I don't want to polish any deeper but there are still a few decent swirl/scratches that I would also like to hide now if possible and look wet.
I also have 2 older Infiniti SUV's that are the daily drivers with one outside all the time. Both are silver. Not worried about the perfect shine on them even though the one's paint is incredible yet. But silver always looks good. So I am looking for long term protection for them.
In the past I have done the Zaino or Nu Finish for the SUV's and results were fine. Nu Finish lasts pretty good but can be a pain to use at times. I'm thinking of using up the Z-AIO on the suv's. Might use the Polisher to apply to give them a decent cleaning. I was thinking of possibly Sonex PNS covered with Collinite 845 or the Durogloss 111. But then I see plenty of talk about FK1000 or the Fusso. But wonder if I need also Natty's blue paste wax or poorboys blackhole. I still want some protection from dust rubs and such. These ideas were for the Mustangs but also thought about the Sonex and Collinite or FK 1000p for the protection on the Suv's also. Both mustangs I pretty much only wash dust off them. Usually with a pressure washer first then by hand. Thinking of a California duster but nervous of surface scuffs. I have an old purple saturn that I will probably try a few experiments on too. With all that said I am open to any suggestions.
