We're you using the z2 pro?

Yes, Z-2 Pro.

I really liked Z2 Pro, used it for 10 + years, great look and excellent durability. It was the ZFX that would drop my jaw. The 601/105 on the Daughters car was still there at 14 months although it had regular washings with 932 and the occasional application of Aqua Wax. All the vehicles now have 601/111 but the daughters car is in Minot ND so it is difficult to keep tabs on it. The Wife's van is outside 24/7 and still going strong but it is washed with 932 and the occasional Aqua Wax. Not exactly a fair comparison to Z2 as Zaino does not offer a rinseless or Aqua Wax type product. The Duragloss products seem to last about the same as Zaino in my eyes.

Agree!!! I really miss Zaino's 601 equivalent Z-1. I wonder why they stopped offering it.
 
i was thinking of ordering some sonus ion coating but the durability is in question since there hasn't been much feedback. i think i'm gonna go with collinite 845 this winter on my ride...
 
I usually use Collinite 845 for winter in WI, it's pretty much a guarantee.
Of course with the proper in betweens to get the salt off and boost the finish.
This year it will be ULW with M26 as a top coat to start. I just finished this weekend. I will probably try for an extra coat of ULW in November, if I get a warm day.
It was a gold class bath with Griots paint prep after. This was followed by a clay treatment and Meguiars Ultimate Polish. A thin, XP applied, ULW layer with a LC red pad. A day later another ULW layer, a little heavier, by hand and finally M26 with the DA(red pad) to put some ice on the cake.
I have to find out first hand if my favorite looking combo can with-stand the beat down

Doesn't Z8 come close to Aqua Wax?The Duragloss products seem to last about the same as Zaino in my eyes.

I used a lot of Z6 and Z8 and still have some left. I never really did a real comparison between those and Aqua Wax. I never saw a real difference in the outcome of Z? compared to Aqua Wax but I think the slickness and durability goes to AW. I reach for Fast and clean and A W 99% of the time but every once in a while Z6 or 8. Of course it is only my opinion

Z6 is more of a qd and Z8 is more of a spray sealant. I would compare Fast and Clean to Z6 and Aqua Wax to Z8. I prefer F&C over Z6 for its cleaning ability. Aqua Wax over Z8 only because of cost.
 
I've always liked FK 1000P, which has always served me well in the past and proven.

Others, Zaino Z2 Pro / Duragloss #105 and #111 / DP Poli-Coat works well

For new stuff, definitely Sonax Polymer Net Shield :xyxthumbs:

Found this little tid bit wandering around Zaino's site

Z-AIO can either be used by itself, or as an excellent foundation & bonding agent for the full line of advanced Zaino Show Car Polish Products.
Although it is not required, you may follow up Z-AIO with application of any Zaino Show Car Polish protectant, including our new advanced Z-CS Clear Seal, or Z-2 PRO or Z-5 PRO products.

Z-AIO succeeds and obsoletes Zaino Z-1 Show Car Polish Lok.
