You sound like a broken record, but repeating something that I never said doesn't make it true, does it?
Stop trying to evade the point.
If you missed it, here it is: you believe that you can make a proper comparison of two different products (one of which you have never used) based solely on looking at a jpeg picture on the internet.
That *is* what you are saying, correct?
Look, you're the one that's blaming jpg compressing on what I think are lackluster pictures. You're not posting RAW to show me it's not just some wonky JPEG compression causing it.
I never said AJT applied whacky, I never said it streaked, all I said was that FROM YOUR PICTURES I see nothing special and
ON SILVER I think Zaino looks better
ON SILVER.
When people post a picture of a car (IN JPG FORMAT, NO LESS) and it's got that obvious "Zaino Saran Wrap" look, can you not tell that Zaino is what's on it? (before it's actually said by the OP?). I can, there's no photoshop trickery for that. After looking at hundreds of thousands of detailing photos over the last decade + I can spot Zaino (my preferred Sealant ON SILVER) a mile away. Why is that? Because of the characteristics it shows EVEN OVER A "COMPRESSED JPG" photo.
So, yes, I'm saying I'm comparing the look of your Lotus with AJT to the look of
ANY silver car posted online covered in Zaino and saying
I like the way Zaino looks MORE than AJT does on your Lotus.
Hard to believe right? OMG PREFERENCE. I never said AJT was crappy, I never said JPG's were crappy (you blamed jpg compression).
If AJT was sold anywhere but direct, such as here at AG or the other vendors I'd use, I'd pick it up just so I could play with it. It's only $15 bucks and if it makes me eat crow I'd be more than glad to admit it. But I'm not gonna spend $10 to ship $15 worth of product since I'm not interested in anything in that product line other than AJT for comparisons sake.
Or if you want to send me a sample, I'll still be willing to eat crow if I apply it to a silver vehicle and think it's better looking, easier to apply, or anything. I've got a couple silver cars I deal with regularly so it wouldn't take long to post my thoughts.
You like AJT and you've used both, AWESOME FOR YOU! But I don't need to USE it to see that I don't like the way it looks better than something else I already have in my arsenal.
