FMJ results. So I went at the car with a 7424, the Menzerna twins (both with orange power pads,) glaze (white pad,) and FMJ (microfinger finishing pad.) I had been using Zaino previously. Cranked the PC to 6 twice when using the Intensive to work on a couple annoying swirls, but other than that, about 3.5-4 was all that was necessary.
As for the FMJ, it's great stuff. I'd recommend it to anyone. It applies easily (a small amount goes a long way, just like Zaino,) goes off even easier than it goes on, is slick/slippery as hell, very reflective, and beads excellently. Took less than an ounce to do my whole car (yes, with the pad.) I haven't been able to see how it compares against the Zaino in the sun (it's been overcast and crappy here all day,) but I'm sure it'll look better. Basically, it does everything you'd want a sealant to do. We'll see about longetivity, but if properautocare.com is right, it should last as long as Blackfire or Zaino.
I've got a few pictures, but the quality is bad, they didn't focus very well, they were taken in a garage, no light (told you about the weather earlier,) etc etc etc. They don't really do it justice. These two were to compare the shine of the dark tinted T-tops and rear window and the paint (you may have to copy and paste the URLs into your browser, the server they're on doesn't allow linking.

(EDIT: If you go here: http://www.fbody.com/cgi-bin/anythin...i?msgid=537617 you'll be able to see all of them in one topic.)

A couple straight on shots. These would be like a mirror with some light.

I live in Pawcatuck.
SuperBuick, I noted it in the first post...you can't click on them, you have to copy and paste the address into your browser. Here's a topic with a lot more pictures (not the same ones as before.)
