Nope, I wish I was. I've never been so impressed by any carnauba in the past. I had PS before TS, and thought PS was decent and TS was not too shabby. TS has definitely wetter look than UPP and P21S. But PS still had slight edge over TS.
Then when I first tried concours red by victoria wax, I was just blown away. If you are picky enough, you can definitely see an obvious difference. I have few friends who came over this past week and they were all very impressed with the result. If you are those types of people who really think Zaino or any polymer based sealant offer enough of wet look to the finish, then you'd definitely not appreciate any carnauba topper.
Since the car was driven more or less as our daily car few months back, I thought I'd go back to Zaino and get the "legendary long lasting protection" a try. God...did I hate the dull look or what. It was certainly very shiny and acrylic like, but lack of character and depth. It was nothing I couldn't achieve with UPP if I want just the synthetic sealant's protection. Later on, I did find out that even NXT offers an even shinier look than Z2, so now I Z5 and Z2 are what I use on my wheels.
I've tried straight AIO+Zaino Z5/Z2, AIO+UPPxmany layers lost cout+PS/TS, AIO+UPP+NXT, and ColorX+UPP+NXT+PS/TS,...all after properly prep'd and polished surface, still nothing can touch what UPP+NXT+VCWx3 can do.
But like I said above, VCW didn't really do its magic on bright silver, though. I kinda expected that. Carnauba for silver is just a waste of effort. I did like how PS+TS performed on our Ti Grey volvo, as soon as I get it back from the shop, I'll give VCW a try and compare the result. But after today's effort on the Avant, I suspect any color other than straight black, maybe red, would let you really distinguish btwn different carnauba waxes.
It's okay though...I still have to use up my half jar full of PS.
BTW, anyone wants to buy a bottle full of Zaino Z2? I'll be willing to trade a bottle of UPP or NXT with ya!
