    I struggle to see how Z6 and Z8 can really co-exist. Sure its not 'meant' to replace Z6...but doesn't Z8 do everything Z6 does AS WELL as adding protection and even more gloss?!? As autopian's...don't we want the BEST and EASIEST results? To me, it appears to be simply a matter of cost...

    new car smell...

    call me strange - but I have always liked that new car smell you get in the first 1-3 months you get a brand new car from the manufacturer. I think it comes from the glues on the dash? or just the cleaning agent they use? what is it? Is there any way to get it back after it is gone?
