Z-12 Clear-View Glass Polish

[ahunt01]

I looked uner the "reviews" section, but I didn`t see any reviews on this. Anyone tried Z-12 Clear-View Glass Polish , and if so what are your thoughts on it?

I`m one who has been remiss in posting review in that useful forum.



If you`ve seen many of my posts, you may know I`m a die-hard Zaino fan. I`m sure it`s the reason my white `75 Jag has won its national awards, and I love the durability it gives me. I love Zaino`s car wash, sealant, & and QD, Z16 for tires, Zaino leather cleaner and conditioner. But -- bigoted as I am in favor of Z products -- the Zaino glass polish and plastic polish have been big disappointments to me. At this point, I use them on my less-loved cars, or when I merely need "maintenance" instead of "renovation." I know this is not very evaluative; it`s just my off-the-top-of-my-head appraisal. If you`re interested, I`ll try to think back to some more specific instances I can describe. But last year, when I received them before the 2003 Concours season and used them with great expectations, I was profoundly disappointed and pretty soon consigned them to the product-lines I keep for my "beaters." :down

Like Lynn, I found the glass polish to be OK, not spectacualr. My personal favorite glass polish is GG Fine Glass Polish.

I`ve been asked to amplify a bit more on my comments about my disappointment with Zaino glass polish. I`ll try here.



I guess I`ve bought into the Autopia definition of "polish." I expected the Z glass polish to take out scratches. It did not. I used it according to directions, using a cotton towel for application and a high-quality MF for removal/buffing. The Zaino glass polish did remove film/haze from cigarette smoke and road film quite impressively. But when I tried to use it for some significant scratches, it did not make a dent in them. So ... when I want to grab something stronger than a typical "glass cleaner," but which will add an awesome shine, I continue to use Z glass polish. I just no longer delude myself that it`s a "polish."



Does that make any sense?

Ah ok Lynn, that makes sense. From reading the links posted here, most people love Z-12. My windows aren`t scratched so I`m just looking for something to make them shine, and it looks like Z-12 will do the ticket. Thanks everyone!
