It’s nice to know that with the release of the Z5Pro and Z2Pro the Zaino guys can finally are getting closer to the carnauba/oil finish that carnauba users have enjoyed since the Model “A� Ford of the early1900’s. Maybe some day Sal will be able to duplicated it. In my opinion the carnauba finish is comparable to a fine hand rubbed oil finish on piece fine furniture while Zaino looks more like a urethane finish from the discount furniture store.:LOLOL
Classics are nice (got 3 orginal 60's musclecars) but I am not too familiar with inexpensive furniture so I can not comment.
It depends if you want the Model A shine or the present day hi-tech LSP's designed for 2-stage clear coated finishes. That the subjective side of one's choice. I see carnuaba or wax type product as finishes with the "Used Car" appearance and sealants with their crisp appearance as the "New Car". It all depends on how one's cerebellum intepretes what the retina is sending back.
I still can't understand how any LSP enhances the base colorcoat without actually affecting the optics of the CC. Last time I checked no LSP penetrates thru the CC and make that layer more enhanced, wet, deep or more vibrate. Prepping the clearcoat or add make-up (oils) are the only 2 ways to enhance a quality 2-stage finish.
Perfect the former and the latter is not needed on a quality finish.
What's the power-train in your Ford Hod Rod? My classics have year/model specific and will get their doors handed to them by lesser present day vehicles with no problem.
Don't get me wrong. I love the look of a quality carnuaba mixture on my vehicles and others vehicle. A 30 plus year habit is hard to break and I will sometimes apply a layer over the sealant. :nervous2:
Live in the past - die in the past.
Win car shows now and when my generation fades from the judging scene, I predict that a more "true" finish presentation will be the norm.
Time marches on.
