Zaino doesn't make your paint shine. It only seals what you already have. Many, many times on this forum it's been said that Zaino is not a polish, regradless of what the name says.

Its a matter of preference more than anything. Pinnacle does look stunning on dark colors, as does Z5Pro.
If you want, we can meet up. Bring a small bottle, Ill give you some Z5Pro to try if you want. Ill be at Captree Sunday AM, or pick a place where we can meet.

If you do use other products for this purpose you should then wash with dawn to remove any oils etc. that you may have introduced to your paint with them. And yes, I never put Zaino over anything but virgin paint.
As I said, you can get away with following something like one of the Menzerna polishes (PO106FF or PO85RD) usually with no problems but NOT A GLAZE that is 99% oils.

BTW! Thanks for the lead on Detailing Dynamics for the Clear Bra. I went by there yesterday and checked out his work. He had just finished a clear bra on a black Z06 and it was flawless. I have an appointment to get mine done on 12/8.
