Question for Zaino Users

I am still debating on if I should switch to zaino from One Grand. I've been having some smearing problems with the one grand. The only reason i haven't switched is because i hear some people say they don't like how zaino doesn't have as much depth as a carnuba. I guess my real question is, is there really that much difference. Will zaino become deeper as i put more coats on? By the way i have a red bmw

Does the Z5 do a good job at hiding swirls. How often do you have to reapply z5 and z2. Will it last at least 3 month

Thanks

Can't comment because I have not used either, but if you try the search function on the site, you will find more info than you can shake a stick at....

I honestly have tried every major brand of polish and wax and still continue to go back to Zaino. I've even tried overcoating the Zaino with Meguiar's carnuba products and seeing no difference as far as depth, warmth or anything else. After the initial prep, the Zaino is so fast and easy that I, along with countless others, just add another layer of Z after washing each time. My Cherokee went 11 coin washes using their soap and full pressure before I felt that I needed to put on another coat of Z. Now, this always stirs up a lot of passionate responses of others with different opinions, and I guess the bottom line is, you have to try it out yourself and use what you like. If you decide to try Z, just make sure you follow Z's instructions and give it a fair trial and I think you'll be pleased. Also, I have yet to experience better customer service that Sal Zaino provides if you have questions or problems, he's really incredible. Good Luck.
Here's my son's '93 "Lude" with 2 coats of Z-5 (yes, the PDR guys are fixing the door/quarter dent next week):

I agree with dlw. I also have used many waxes and nothing comes close to the smearless results one gets with Zaino. I live with a comparison because one of my black cars is carnuaba'd (P21S) and the other is Zaino'd. The P21S does a excellent job on the Lexus but the shine and endurance of the Z28 with Zaino times multiple coats is in a different league. In terms of depth the Zaino'd car appears as if it has a extra thick smooth layer of clear. This took several months of alternating with Z5 and Z2 to get the look and depth I desired. As dlw states if you use Z give it time to develop and you will be amazed by the finish. Oh yes, forget smearing... a properly layered Z finish is completely smear-free. Also you will not find an easier product to use and if you do not want to apply any more coats for months a Z7 wash and Qd'ing with Z6 with revive that Zaino finish.

First try Zaino stand alone. If you think the results are nice
but want to experiment a little, throw your Blitz on top
of the Zaino. You may be surprised.
