That`s why I ended up buying 3 bottles instead of just one. Then, I fell through the rabbit hole and forget I had Z6! so sad.
ahhh. Thanks. puts into better perspective!

Z-6 is a great detail spray.
I was a long time zaino user. Loved it. But I recently used gtechniq CSL/EXO combo and if it lasts as long as it`s suppose to, there`s no comparison. There is a little less shine and depth that zaino will create but I don`t see why anyone would NOT use the gtechniq combo. What`s better than that?

I will tell you the first time my wife ever said her GMC looked "so clean" was after using Zaino on it recently. I did Zaino on several panels and a few days later she commented on it she didn`t know i did anything
Another time I was doing Zaino on a car I had probably 10 years ago my parent came over and asked if I got it repainted.
Stuff does work. Hard to complain much about shipping cause lots of places charge and arm and a leg on orders. We all like free shipping though ! Even if prices went up 10% across the board free shipping daily is hard to beat.
Z6 is a fun little detail spray but FC&s has to be darn near the same maybe a hair less concentrated or something but it`s the closest product I have seen. Between the two.

I have to disagree with Z6 and FC&S being anywhere near the same. I bought a gallon of FC&S and after using it the first time, my hands and clay bar were bright red from the dye. I cut it about 50% with RODI water and still had the same results. I can`t use the stuff on cars knowing what it does to my hands.

How long ago was that? I probably bought mine 5 or 6 years ago (looked it up--7 years ago), maybe something has changed.

I`m simply avoiding that thread, and I figure I bite my tongue enough as it is
,Yeah, that`s what I plan to buy should I outlive my, uhm...accumulated..stash of ERV slime. Only couple more gallons to go now...currently working through Griot`s and Pinnacle (the latter`s looking great BTW).
Heh heh, I`d love to read those (I think!)...just not enough to visit another Detailing Site.

GALLONS! whoa.
Which Pinnacle product? I once bought a gallon of their Black Onyx Tire dressing....and have yet to use it!

Heh heh, I *earned* that username
But yeah...one gallon each of Griot`s and Pinnacle. I have their "regular" vinyl/rubber Protectant, not the one made specifically for tires. I bought it for use on interiors, but when it didn`t play nice with my last `vette (that was a while ago and I don`t mean just a decade! Still fine though) I left it on the shelf. Decided to try using it up on tires, applied to the Tahoe`s (figuring "who cares how it looks on that dog-hauler") and *gee, that looks OK*. Now I`m using it on my drivers while using up the Griot`s on the A8. Guess I`m saving my last bottle or so of Z16 for the S8 or something...

Interesting my z6 and FC&s were never red. I know my FC&s is older than 2016 though

I just looked at my Z-6 and FC&S...the Z-6 is more purple, while the FC&S is more pink. Colors tend not to be that consistent in products though, batch to batch. They smell very similar, but slightly different.
I also looked at my Z-8 and Aquawax, the Z-8 is yellow while the AQ is clear, again they smell very similar, but slightly different. I have found them to perform differently (like Z-8 is much more concentrated, they are similar products however in what they are supposed to do and how they work and how you use them). I have never been able to discern any performance difference between Z-6 and FC&S.
As I think I have noted in other threads a long time ago, there are just too many similarities and odd coincidences for Zaino and DG to not be related, however that in no way makes them the same. I have never gotten as good performance out of the DG sealants as I have out of Zaino, for instance. But in the case of Z-6 and FC&S, they are too close for me to discern any difference.

Nothing bad, I promise, but nothing worth going over there for.

Oh, no doubt you earned that name! Just on the sheer number of waxes you have!
Good info. And I think my Jeep will be like the Tahoe ("who cares how [something] looks on that")

Zaino is my sealant of choice when I`m not coating a car. Nothing makes metallics jump out of the paint quite like it! I have no issue with helping pay for Sal`s retirement fund either

Heh heh, well...it wouldn`t have been the first time
Funny thing is, these days a lot of people have more of this stuff than I ever did! But yeah...buy a case of something long-lasting and you`ll have it for a while (still wish somebody`d throw money at me for it).

Nice to see you posting too, seems like it`s been a while!
How long does the Zaino last for you, and how is it with regard to etching-resistance. IIRC people have had nasty bird-bombs etch through it if not cleaned off soon enough.
Z2 is one of the few LSPs I can regularly ID.."hey, nice car...is that Zaino? Thought so.."

Had irreversible (aside from wet sanding) water spot etchings on black c5 corvette while covered in 3 layers of z5 w zfx. Bird bomb blemishes as well even if removed within 24hrs.
Stuff looked good for 3 months at a stretch but never really protected against much.

BudgetPlan1- Thanks for that feedback...and if you posted about that etching previously it may well have been your experience I was recalling. I remember thinking "just like the UPP on my S8"...i.e, looks nice, but doesn`t last/protect the way I need.

I think mine are 12 years old, they seem to be ok. My ZFX dried up though.
Yeah.... I have a lot of stuff (ONR etc) coming up on a decade old and wondering if I should bin most of it or what. Taking up garage space and not being used ....
