SNIP

IME, Zaino is the longest lasting sealant out there and all of the sealant line (Z2,Z5,Z6,Z7,Z8) is top notch. The look it produces is extremely shiney/glossy and unique and may not be for everybody. My main draw back with Zaino is that it doesn't like to be topped with carnauba and that it may not be the best choice for certain colors or situations (personal opinion and judgement dependent).
I used Zaino for years, till I noticed a pattern. The shine is definately there, as is the water beading. For me, the protection was not. I was constantly getting water spots if I didn't do regular Z6 applications after every wash. On two cars that I let go for a few months, I got deep etching. I have since moved over to #21 and/or Collinite and have not had any water spotting issues even after leaving one car alone for a year.

Nothing beats the Zaino shine, I like it, some call it a bit tacky, but whatever, I do miss that, I don't miss dealing with water spots.
