I thought I had checked the zaino bottles in the past and found them to be 2oz not using the cap or neck portion of the bottle.

You have peaked my interested, so I just did this little test.

Im thinking now it might be bacause all of my vehicles are white (except one that I havent had time to do yet).....I found it hard to see where I had spread out the Z2....I probably had quite a few spots that were over done. But a 1/2oz for three coats is amazing to me.

If that was my car, I would give it a serious going over with GLARE Zero and Advanced to bury alot of that orange peel

Its terrible (not your fault though)

The verdict is still out on zaino, I have seen their claims of the best durability beaten a number of times by Australian and European products and even a few american products

In Australia, 8 months has been the best demonstrated durability of zaino, 12 months or more has been my experience with some (no names mentioned) non polymer products.

Water mark problems, this thing they seem to have about being against machine use of their own or other products and that Z8 lasts for weeks or a few months when a few sprays I know of last for six months with one application

Can't wait to do my testing of them all
I'd say zaino would be the metallic flake king, thats one aspect of their product line that I've seen to be true

The verdict may still be out in your court but in mine Zaino has been tops in almost every catagory. I have had superb good luck with the product.

The only reason I make a comment on this is I am interested in which products you were speaking off when mentioning Austrailian products and European products. I am very much interested in any product that will last a year. Please enlighten me and the rest of the forum off these products.
