trying to understand "glaze"....
Nah man, that things looks great. I think the problem you're having lies in the color of your car. It looks good from what I can see, and judging by what you said you did, it's definitely well protected.

Since the release of Z2 Pro, I have not seen a proper Zaino detail turn out "plasticy."

I am assuming that you meant to say "haven't"?
Pics look good...
Gotta remember tho too, not saying a lot of the shines you see on certian cars are "fake" but there's a reason they take pics with quality lense' and camera's.
But it looks like your setup is fine. You've got a nice reflection all around, and Im sure your finish is smooth as hell. But pewter is finiky as I said previously...

Yes, I did mean to say "have not" in the last sentence...now edited.
how do you think the Menzerna and poorboys compares to the AIO? I am a huge fan and believer in the AIO (Its what I use on almost every car I do) and am just curious if either one of those products perform better or not. One of the main things I like about the AIO is how it eliminates all haze and lasts months. I have heard good things about Poorboys though.

Its an old pic, but here's mine w/o a clay. The shine is
but I just dont see that depth with pewter.

I'm not sure if you would wax under the ICE, if you were to do that you would do it on top. Wax goes on as the top coat over your hard work underneath.
I don't think anyone is sure yet, but ICE seems like a topcoat product so I don't think its necessary.
