Washed the car today and thought I'd take a few pics of the way Zaino beads tight water groups. I have not added a coat of Z in a while now and this is the first wash in several weeks (I know, shame on me!). Anyhow, one great way to tell whether a finish is well protected is the way water beads on the surface and rolls off. Generally, the tighter (or taller) and smaller the bead, the better the surface protection. As protection is diminished the beads get wider and flatter, like sheets. So, I think the following pics show a how well Zaino beads very tight drops and keeps the surface well protected without any deterioration of Z. BTW, these shots were taken BEFORE I washed the car and the surface is actually dusty and a little dirty.

If you have your own interesting Zaino pics, please share them!

heres a couple pics of my car after a week or two of applying zaino to the car except one side of the hood, which i used the meguires products. On the left side i used cleaner wax, polish and gold class wax. As you can see the zaino held up considerably better. The meguire's still beads in a few places only, the entire rest of the car beads wonderfully with zaino.
