I'm in need of some new products for my car. Ive used both in the past a couple times that belonged to my roomate but i cant tell much of a diff between them. I need to get rid of a few swirles and i want to get the car looking like glass again. Some swear by zaino and others by tropicare...lets hear some opinions to make my purchase easier! Thanks, Jason

Well, this isn't going to help. Both products are excellant. I used Zaino for years and have been a Tropi-Care user for the last couple. I like both. I became a TC dealer last year so I'm partial to that now. You can't go wrong with either. TC has alot of products on sale now, PM me for details.

With the correct prep work, both products will look outstanding. Both are easy to use, maintain, etc.

Zaino lasts longer than anything else I've tried.

I have been using Zaino since 1997 never felt the need to switch to anything else.

If you want something that lasts (for months) use the Zaino, if you don't mide waxing more often try the TC.
Like Zane said, it's the prep work that gives you the outstanding final look, no matter what final product you use

I've only used my Zaino one but I absolutely love it, applies easy, wipes easy and you can't beat the shine. This is only 1 coat of Z2 Pro

If you ask me it shows a pretty freakin good reflection.

I use NXT course thats because I dont like to order stuff. But Ive also come to see that NXT is a very good wax even though it doesnt last as long as Zaino. I think it works very well on dark colored metallic cars.

I use Zaino and love it!

Bare black paint will also reflect just as good, black is a bad example to show reflections IMO. But here I'll top that with a spray on product called Optimum Car Wax.

Or Natty's Blue wax


Or my car (mystic teal)

from what ive been told that tropic care is the same $hit with alot better price ive used both they seemed the same to me. Alot of the stuff even smells the same lol

ZaneO

I promise you that they aren't the same. Quite different actually.

So ... what is the difference then? That last comment sounds like something that is supposed to make people afraid to ask that question... but wth

Since we are showing reflections, might as well throw in some of mine



Ok thats enough

Zaino btw, but i'm sure TC would do just as good

Can't help but laugh and agree...

This picture was taken with absolutely nothing on the car, I had just claybarred and then washed with dawn soap again...



Sorry to say it, but your reflection had absolutely nothing to do with the Z2.

As for the cult-like following of both, it's all in personal preference. Whichever is better to you, go with it. I just invested in Zaino for the first time, and have only done the claybar portion so far (its disgusting how much tar my car acquired between August 21st when it was painted to November when I stopped driving it daily. )

No one should be afraid of anything. Their chemistry/makeup is different that's all. Products can provide similar results while being very different chemically.

They're both easy to use, give a great appearance, etc. In my experience, the biggest difference is that Zaino lasts longer.

Like it's been stated over and over and over...prep work is 90% and the last step product is 10%. Use what you like and be happy.

The new Tropi-care polish last longer than it did before. It has been improved and I like the new product a lot.
