Is it Zaino or is it Duragloss we report you decide

First I know the car is still dirty, it needs a fine cut buff yet but this should give you a side by side comparison of Zaino versus Duragloss.

One half of each panel is Zaino the other is Duragloss. See if you can tell the difference.

OMG, 56k sucks, hate coming home. I've never used either, but I'll take a stab. They're quite close, but on the hood shot, the last one, zaino is on the right???

I'm going to guess the Drivers Side. Due to the more crisp reflections.

I don't know which is which, I just wanted to say beautiful car.

Also, does Zaino do anything for swirl marks or should I get them taken care of before I Zaino it? Thanks.

Yeah, but does that work? I tried 3M Swirl Mark Remover, no luck.

It's too hard to tell from a picture. I've taken pictures of my car after having not been washed in 7 days, and taken a look at them on my computer. It makes my car look perfect.

nothing against either product both are good, I think both sides have same shine, but with the right lighting any car can shine. Here is a picture of girlfriends car I detailled one night with my polish I use called dri-wash.

The passenger side of the hood is Zaino (Z2) so the driver side is Duragloss (111). The front half of the door is Duragloss. The passenger side of the trunk is Zaino.

Congrats to anyone that can tell the difference.

Duragloss offers a scratch remover (101) compared to Zaino (Z5) but none of it is great for removing scratches that are very deep. The best thing is a good buffing if you have enough clear coat to allow it.

What about you, Chuck? Can you see the difference?

It is impossible to really tell when your monitor only puts the picture up at 72 dpi.

I can't tell a difference. Maybe the Zaino goes on a little easier but I am not even sure of that. Look, feel, shine and even the smell is the same. I will be buying Duragloss from now on because it is cheaper and I can get it locally.

the car looks great. only one thing though, i thought that Zaino gets the shine from applying and builing up muliple coats. We wer talking about the stuff at the track one night and i heard that you're supposed to put a coat on every weeks for like a month and a half and the build up of multiple coats gives it that deep "Zaino Shine". just my .02.

Nasty_Bird_'90, you are correct. The more coats the better the shine. The coats can be put on every 24 hours. I am going to put coat 2 on tonight.

Zaino and black paint go good together.
