I don't know if it is true or not but it is interesting.



I do know there have been studies done were they give people a cheap product and they weren't hot for it but when they gave them the same product with a much higher price tag and different label they loved it! ;) It wasn't done with spray wax but I have a feeling the same principles apply.

That was recently done with wine, and when a $5 wine was compared to a $35 wine-but the participants were told the $5 version was $50, they judged it better than the $35 (or whatever the exact price was) wine. Wine afficianodos were of course, horrified and claimed they were sure true wine experts wouldn't be fooled.



People want to believe they are getting their money's worth, but the mark-up on most products is pretty outrageous. I am into road biking and a quality road bike can run several thousand dollars. Funny thing though, in the winter, they seem to be able to discount a $5000 bike to $3500 and I don't see the bike shops going out of business....:nervous2:
 
I wouldnt be surprised if Zaino and DG were similar in compound structure, like I said through this thread. Theres only so many combinations.

IMO I don't get it. When a car costs 40-50K and people quabble about $10 or $12 on car products, I just don't get it. IMO Zaino is worth the extra because it performs up to my expectations every time. Looks, durability and makes my metalic pop. If I truly thought DG was better I would use it. I have tried DG and used and still use it on some family members cars who I don't want to waste my Zaino on ( sister in law ) and feel its a really nice product for OTC. To me this apples vs oranges as comparing Ultima vs DG or other high performance products. The same thing goes on in the supplement industry with protein powders .

supplements are more a combination of the same ingredients than relableling, i think you would be hard pressed to find identical protein powders with a significant price point difference (thats the point here). it's too easy to buy the bulk products and mix your own combination, although im sure there is some relabled protein powders out there. I think Designer Whey makes protein for someone???



this is a good discussion, i hope we can keep it going and no zaino faithful take offence. i've been buying zaino for years, well into the $1000 dollar range, and if my experience with testing DG tells me its the same or similar i can save quite a bit of money.



ultima vs DG...:think2 isnt ultima just zaino relabled???, so it is DG - LOL j/k of course (for the record, ultima is completely different, this is just a joke, i dont wanna get :banned: )

Interestingly, there is no product similar to Ultima/Clear Seal/Optiseal in the DG lineup.

I heard from someone who had talked to DG that they may have a clear sealant (wipe on, walk away) in the works...hmmm Don't know anything about it or when/if it will come out...

Additionally, there was no AIO in Zainos lineup until last year, but DG had one for a long time. So maybe its only a matter of time before DG gets a CS.



If in fact DG and Zaino are one in the same companies, it would make perfect sense. You have your OTCish consumer line, and your high end boutique with a stranglehold on distribution. I like that.

All of the little Zaino "BJ" boys will be in tears over this. They may even have a candlelight vigil in Howell, NJ to show their undying support of Sal and his Yellow Z06!

I am surprised that there have not been a great amount more of exclusive Zaino users responding about their precious products.



For the ones that have and claimed that AW and Z8 do not give the same exacts results, have you indeed done a side by side testing (like Scottwax did).
 
While I believe it is entirely possible that zaino is re-labelled duragloss, you guys saying zaino is worth the extra little cash are forgetting one very important thing.



Duragloss offers EVERYTHING (even their sealants) in gallons, while zaino does not. So when you say they price difference isn't huge, you are forgetting that an entire gallon of 111 (one of duragloss's sealants) is only $56.



I am not saying that I dont believe in spending extra on certain products, I do many times.



Also, please remember, Sal does NOT have his own factory, so whether it's duragloss or not, he does not make his products.
 
Here is my $.02. I have and use both lines. For a long time I have noticed similarities so close as to be beyond coincidence. F,C&S/Z6, Z5P/DG105, etc. The Z line does, however, IMO, have a little more of "the good stuff." So, I agree that either Z is concentrated DG or DG is diluted Z. If I were in the business and going through 5 bottles a week, the DG would be a no-brainer. Since I am but an enthusiast, and maybe use a bottle of each every other year, it really doesn't make a whole lot of difference. Both are a pleasure to use and neither line disappoints.

Here is one. Get the candles ready!:tribe: :tribe: :tribe:





Be nice, dont be a baby and post a nasty reply, Im only breaking your stones..



I use Zaino also and I give it to my clients, even if it is Dura-Gloss or Sanio or Dranio.
 
Here's my $.02.. I've used Z8 and AW on my two cars - one bright white and one platinum silver (both cars have Z-AIO/CS as a base).



I notice little difference between Z8 and AW on the white car. On the silver car, however, Z8 looks noticeably brighter and wetter than AW (with a little better flake pop, too).



IMO, Z8 definitely makes the silver car look its best.
