Default Zaino vs. Ultima products

hey everyone, curious as to who has used either Zaino or Ultima products?

I'm considering getting either to take care of my precious.. I'm kinda leaning towards Zaino, but reading some stuff on Ultima they say it's better, but seems a little more pricey.. (the article i'm referring to here: http://www.autopia-carcare.com/zaino.html )

Anyone have pics of their vehicle after using these products?? Thanks!

I'd check here: http://autopia.org/forum/ultima-red-...t=ultima+zaino

From what I've read, I don't think you can go wrong with either though. I've never used either personally so I can't comment on my experience.

I think Zaino may have a few more steps to go through with application. Zaino is supposed to look good and last a while too.

Ultima does seem like its a nice system as far as application goes (spray). Like the site says, it is supposed to outlast a lot of products. While Ultima is expensive, I've read that the sealant lasts a while (quantity) since you don't use much. I've seen some of the pics of peoples' cars using Ultima and they look incredible.

Zaino is a very good product. I have been using it for about three years now and love it. It does take some time to get used to the amount of product you use in comparison to other waxes. There are many different highend waxes/sealants out there. I would go with something that you would be able to keep up with. Some are more labor intensive than others and also the cost can build up quickly. Also making sure you have the right materials to apply and remove the waxes is just as important. Make sure you use 100% cotton products. The natural fibers are not abrasive like the man made polyblend products that can scratch and remove was from your car. Also if you are using a product line stay with it and do not mix different products together. Some chemicals from one company to the next vary and can effect the total outcome of your work.

I was at the factory "Ultima" the other day and it is by far the BEST sealant that I have ever seen, we did the entire system ( outside) in less that 20 minutes, the product is so good that for the first time ever we will sell a product other than ours in our website, in addition we will also sell Poycharger.

Out of curiosity, do you know if those products you mention are V.O.C complying ?
