This topic is really not worth arguing over as both products seem to be at the top of their repspected game and I would be happy to have either one as my LSP.
Here is one of the last post where it is summer up by a few of the users. No matter what it is pretty impressive for both products IMHO.

As far as an update goes, the Zaino just kept on looking good. In the end I was itching to do a full Vintage treatment, which I posted up here:

Since then the Vintage finish has also lasted well. Initially I found it did tend to be more prone to dulling between washes, but now I have found that by using Z8 after a wash it just keeps its sparkle.
The Vintage is a very special wax and in just detailed form does seem to have a very slight edge on Zaino - but only just and the price difference is huge. However, if you use the Zaino your car will be looking good for more of the time, strangely even when dirty! Z8 is a very special product, not cheap but the best quick detailer spray that I have come across and it seems to work easily as well over the Vintage as Zaino. It does work out cheaper and better value than Zym0l Field Glaze though, which would be the regular top up for Vintage.
I am surprised that more people don't use Zaino. I know that some people have had trouble with it being fussy with weather conditions when being applied and then reacting strangely with some Snow Foam products, but when it works it is fantastic. I always apply it indoors in the garage where it is warm and dry and have never had any problems. I know a lot of people rave about Jetseal 109, I have this and it is a very good product, but frankly it is not in the same league as Zaino when it comes to finish in my opinion. Of course all of this are my personal findings on my own car and what you use on your own vehicles or detailing others is entirely up to you. As with a lot of people I am always trying to find the perfect product to give the perfect finish. At present I would say that these two are pretty much neck and neck at the top of my list - the Vintage shading it for finish by the thinnest of margins and the Zaino doing the same with durability. All I need now is to get hold of a sample of Royale

Glyn, you just summarised my findings after having Vintage on the car for a few weeks.
If you could summarise Zaino vs ***** Vintage in percent terms of finish and say Zaino was 95% with Vintage 100%, I find that after 2 days, the Vintage has dipped to say 80%, but the Zaino is resisting more dirt so looks superior at say 90%.
I will most certainly try the Z8 over the Vintage because as you say, it looks absolutely fantastic when washed and I can see that slight advantage over a Zaino finish (gloss and depth for me).
