    You don't really state what your goals are, so its hard to say, without knowing, I'd say BFWD because it looks fantastic, is super easy to use, slicker than slick, beads like crazy and has decent durability. BFWD looks very wet and has a good glow to it. Probably the best wax emulating sealant there is.

    Zaino beads longer and the car stays cleaner. It looks much more reflective.

    ok, thank you the truth speak highly of the 2 so it is difficult to choose. ZAINO gives more shine? the z6 is essential or not? Meguiars is true that the inspection could replace 34 without compatibility problems?

    +1 For Dan..... IMHO If you had a third option I would go with HD POXY .... I like it a little more than BFWD.

    Glad you mentioned Poxy. You know, I have a mental block for Poxy. I love the way it looks, IMO, its Initial looks are as good or better than Z2, especially on darker colors....BUT it smells like that big guy in the gym that covers himself in baby powder. For some reason I can't get past that!

    That baby powder scent is a bit... disconcerting

    I had used Zaino for quite some time about 5 years ago. After about 6 months I stopped using it because it was a pita to use. With the heat and humidity in Houston, Zaino causes issues(for me at least) I had used different sealants here and there. Once BF came out, I tired it and haven't touched another sealant since. If I am not using BF I am using either Swissvax or Zymol carnaubas or ceramic coatings. BF is the only sealant I use. On and off in no time, unlike Zaino.

    Z5.. I have a plain car, but the 2 times i can remember getting jaw-dropping stares at red lights, etc.. was from Pinnacle Souveran and Z5.

    With that being said, I haven't tried BF (or Poxy, as someone mentioned.) That was 3 years ago, I have since tried quite a few other products.. Guess you can't try them all.

    +1. BFWD is super easy and looks as good as Zaino

    Zaino looks fantastic, but BFWD looks amazing as well. The biggest difference between them is ease of use. BFWD is much easier to apply and remove. IMO it's the easiest on/off sealant I have ever used.

    With that being said, my vote goes to BFWD.
