ZAIO vs HD Speed + Poxy

[Brad B.]

Thanks for the update. My 4Runner (parked outside) has been subjected to a full week of record breaking 100 degree plus weather and next week is more of the same. Whatever wins your test is going on the truck!

Just a quick video of the beading. The car is pretty dirty, a good layer of dust but it looks like everything is holding up well, as I'd expect at two weeks and a few days.

Quick update at the 3 week mark:

[Brad B.]

Still pretty awesome beading. (Love the red!)

Love that Jetta red!! Wanted red on my Passat Wagon when but the Passat red is very orange. Not that deep red on the Jetta. Speed/POXY after 7 weeks is beading like when first put on. Used TOUCH yesterday and I was really surprised how it amped up the shine and slickness.

[Dan]

Thanks guys, red is my favorite color. Sort of wished I had gotten the vette in red but I didn't want the ticket magnet factor. Final touch is awesome, great QD, amazing value, but for some reason the smell rubs me the wrong way (but not enough to stop using it). On of the things I love most about it, is how well it works on prefect and very imperfect cars.

Week 4 update:



At this point Speed's beading has relaxed a bit, I'd estimate a couple more weeks and it will be gone, but it has done well considering most AIOs drop off at the one month mark. Given that its been REALLY hot lately and we've had lots of showers, its definitely doing well. This is better than what I would get out of something like Poliseal, FK215 or M66.

That is great durability for you Dan. Good to see that.

[Dan]

Thanks Thomas, I'm pleased with the results so far. In the AIO class, its certainly no slouch, and its an absolute pleasure to work with. I'm actually surprised there is no visual difference yet in the Poxy vs Speed areas.

[Brad B.]

Interesting stuff! I use both of these products on different cars and while I have been happy and confident in the results provided by ZAIO, I am happy that Speed is doing so well.

I like your willpower of 'doing as little as possible' to maintain your paint finish while driving your car...after all, you have a reputation to live up to! Real world testing is key. But sometimes these tests can be painful! Just be glad one of these products doesn't look like poop because you'd be driving one funny looking car!

[Dan]

It's pretty hard not being able to use a QD on it..... I hope you guys appreciate what I'm going through here!!!

[Thomas Dekany]

I do Dan! Very much appreciate it.
