Zaino Site long on jargon, short on science (archive)

First, I have worked 22 years in semiconductor surface preparation, and every time I read something on the Zaino website, I come away with a queasy feeling. I will stick with Zymol because I understand how it works and there are just too many errors in Zaino's advertising for my taste.

Z2 is made for clear-coated finishes, yet they talk about it "bonding with the pigment". Guess what, there is no pigment in clear coat - that's why it is clear.

Zaino makes claims of "molecular bonding". the only bonding between molecules short of chemical reactions I know about is solvation or plasticizing, and I certianly wouldn't putting solvents and plasticizers for the paint on any car. Although they would cause the paint to swell and hide small scratches that diffract light to give a shiny "wet" finish. However what may look good would really be very bad for your paint.

I have seen references to "99.99% optically perfect" Whatr does this mean?

Note that Zaino always talks about "show cars". This should be a clue as to how much protection it provides. The real reason to wax a car is to render its surface hydrophobic, so that water cannot get in and cause corrosion.
