Sheeting action w/pics

[globey]

About six weeks ago gave my car the wash/clay/Z-AIO/ZCS treatment. I wash my car weekly and hit it with Z8 afterwards. Last week I kept the routine but added another coat of ZCS due to the car being in the elements.

It started raining today while I was home from work and I decided to snap some pics of the sheeting action. This combo holds up great and after all is said and done, I will have no water spots in the morning. The other night we had an intense rain and the next day you couldn't even tell it on my car.

I decided to throw a pic in of the neighbor's car. She's always commenting on how much I'm cleaning my car. Needless to say, she doesn't have any sheeting action

Nothing beads as long and tight as the Zaino sealants.

I'm using Zaino and CS right now and I'm happy with it but Collinite beads better. Maybe not longer, but better.
What I've really noticed so far is that the Zaino seems to not attract dirt/dust as much as a carnauba wax does. My car just looks cleaner for longer than it did with any other wax or sealant I've used.

I have to agree with the above comment that with Zaino it doesn't leave a lot of water spots after it is rained on. We are on water restrictions right now in our county but the car really doesn't look dirty at all even after being rained on a couple times since I put on the AIO/couple of coats of Z5 and Z2 followed by CS.

I just tried out Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine...I can wash my car inside my garage with 2 gallons of wash water in 15 minutes. No water restrictions to worry about. Now I no longer have an excuse for a dirty car!

Looks nice. I love it when water beads off like that. I use Mothers 3-step and just did the Reflections Top Coat (found it at Murrays on clearance for 8 dollars a bottle, bought 2). I get the same beading you do. I also Rain-X my windows and sunroof and get an awesome beading effect on all surfaces.
