    DG and Zaino seem very similar?

I have been using them together and can not tell the difference. I use DGAW over Z2 instead of Z6. I used DG 101 instead of Zaino AIO and topped with Z2...

    Can I thin clear coat too much with a PC?

I previously polished with Zaino PC Yellow LC pad with not very good results. Later with Megs 83 same pad with better but still not perfect result. With determination I...

    Duragloss AW over Zaino Z2

    I recently purchased a slightly used Chysler Crossfire Coupe - Silver Blue Metallic. I did the whole Zaino drill(Dawn,Clay, Z-2 X4 layers,Z6 between layers). On a whim I topped the Zaino with Duragloss AW and am very pleased with the results. It seemed to enhance the shine and slickness better...
