I too was a die hard Meguiar's user. Zderf has been trying to talk me into trying Zaino for 2 years and I finally caved about a month ago. The up-side is Zaino's will shine your car like nothing else...period. The down-side is every single little imperfection on my 14 year old, former track car, dark blue metallic paint is now glaringly apparent. That said, from 10 feet the car looks great. I tried to get some good Zaino "shiny" pics, but for some reason, the car in the pictures doesn't look any shinier than before.

Now, on my guards red other car with fairly nice paint this stuff is fabulous. Just to see what would happen, I tried a coat of Z-5 with no prep (i.e. detergent wash, clay bar, polish lok) and the shine put Meguiar's to shame.

I'm a convert...sorry Barry.
