Looks like Zaino was a clear winner for durability and overall performance.

Where is FMJ or ......on and on?

I`m unimpressed with this test and most of the "contestants".

**TW85 HHI** · 04-14-2005, 04:13 PM

Yes, especially considering true Zaino competitors were not even included in the test.

**imported_RIC** · 04-14-2005, 04:15 PM

That was posted 8/07/04.

This was discussed heavily when it was intially published... BACK in July.

Like a boxing match between Mike Tyson and Pee Wee Herman.

As already noted...old news (08/04) also note the disclaimer at the beginning of the post.

Note: This was NOT an official Guru Reports Test. Your results may (and probably will) vary. All testing was performed on my own time and does not reflect Guru Reports or its testing methodologies - this test was 100% independent and conducted under blind conditions with 3 people providing their own, personal opinions of the waxes for their appearance, performance, ease of use and durability. Do not allow any portion of this test to influence your potential buying decision - it`s simply a comparison based on observations, opinion and personal experience in my unique environment.

Just curious to what the "true zaino competitors" would be?

In my opinion, multi-step products such as Klasse and AutoGlym.

I believe one (Klasse) or both were included and published in the original Guru Reports Wax Test.

Did you read the test or just skip to the results?

Quote,

"Since Zaino has ruled just about every other test I`ve ever done, I decided to try something to handicap it a bit - I applied it without using ZFX or Z1 - I just wiped on some Z2, let it dry and wiped it off."

**SilverLexus** · 04-14-2005, 05:18 PM

Klasse Twins go a "B" rating which is pretty good in the original Guru. Durability was a very high "A-" which matches my personal experience.

I did not realize how old the final results were until you pointed it out to me here.

**Bobsealant** · 04-14-2005, 05:18 PM

Klasse was tested in the GURU reports. Not sure about Autoglym. As for FMJ, EX-P, WG, etc, I myself am not really interestd in seeing any new GURU studies. I don`t need to since I`ve used these products myself and have come away very underhwhelmed (nice way of saying they stink

).

For those of you whining about the test, be thankful he took the time do one. If you want to see these other products tested so badly, do it yourself.

**wannafbody** · 04-14-2005, 05:31 PM

someone should test Finish Kare 2180 for durability

I couldn`t have put it better myself!! :xyxthumbs

What is it about doing a very well set-up test that elicits so much criticism. Whereas, if Steve had had done a more informal test with a much shorter write-up (like what most of us do here on Autopia), people would be responding with their usual, "awesome post!" replies.
