Dw is an awesome site, some great advice. I tend too find they go from week to week biging up a product. Be prepared for an empty wallet  :signLOL:

Anything Zaino, it will blow anything else out of the water .

Well after the past few days I've been putting Zaino Pro2 and the gloss enhancer to the test, have washed and detailed three cars, 2 in Zaino, my brothers silver 335i and my reflex silver Edition 30, and my mums silver Merc CLK320 cabriolet in Werkstatt acrylic kit...

All three were washed, tardis'd, clayed, enhancement polished with a DA and merzerna polish and pads, then wiped down and sealed with each product... Each product applied with a finishing(soft) pad with the DA on 2- slow speed...

I found the Zaino very thin, which made it hard to see where it's been laid, but this of course makes it easier to remove as its a thin coat, once removed the gloss enhancer quick detailed was very watery/thin which I found hard to spread polish off... The results were ok but after finishing the merc with the Werkstatt which I find an easier system to use, even the older paint came up glorious with the Werkstatt... And kinda left me wishing I used it on the other two...

Will see what the next wash is like for a gauge of longevity, and might give the edition another coat of the Zaino to give it a fair crack, but I would still say Werkstatt is my preference and gives me better results... It is amazing stuff...

I've been using zaino for a while on my dimond black ed30. For ease of use i think it's awesome. But after testing meg's new dark wax on my wing and comparing it to the zaino finish for me the wax was better.  The zaino finish adds a glassy , mirror finish, but the meg's added more depth and gloss and one hell of a shine.

As for a reflex silver finish there are so many products available , people will say this is better or thats better, but at the end of the day , for me it's trial and error.
