It sound like a great idea but there are some problems. First I don't have a digital camara, I can borrow one that kind of sucks. It all depends where the pictures are taking. To be honest you might use something that "in person" looks like a better shine then mine, but I may take a better picture, due to how it's taken, what angle etc that would make mine look better then yours, or the other way around.
The really only fair way to do a test, proving Zaino is by far better, would be to have like your talking 4 trucks done the way the owners want to do them and have all the trucks in the same spot with the same lighting when taking the pictures, and take the pictures with the same camara, or have a panel of judges.

comon now enough of the technical jargin we all do our truck and take pictures. i dont like any of us will ever have the exact situations for our trucks so that makes this a real world test. four trucks four areas one test. the resluts will tell us over all which wax looks better over all no matter where ya are of what ya do.
i'm sure you have a digital camera at your dissposal some way or another. by the way get with it man!! haha no digital camera? comon what year is this again hahahha jk

This is just over the limit. We all enjoy the fun of talking about it, but there are many factors that go into choosing a protectant for our paint. Shine, reflectivity, ease of application, longevity, etc. Everyone has their own environment to deal with (salt, acid rain, dust storms) too. There is no one best wax for everyone!
Use what you like and what works for your situation. Offer experiences with your products and reasons why you like it. Your reasons may not be important to the next person.
It has been entertaining with the back and forth so keep it up. But I think some noobs may take it the wrong way.

I'm an old Meguiar's man, and a recent Zaino Zealot............... and now my favorite is Platinum's UPP. Having said that, I would have to give Zaino a bit of an edge over Meguiar's "final coat" products when it comes to looks, and a bigger edge when it comes to durability. That certainly doesn't mean Meguiar's products aren't good................. because they are! IMHO, Zaino is a bit better "coating" product. The Platinum has the best of both worlds............. more of a carnauba like look, with the durability of synthetics.

This won't work. You need the trucks next to each other to compare and even that won't be fair if the trucks are different colors or if the quality of paint is different.
Camera's also aren't capable of capturing the minute (sp?) difference between products. There is also a lot more to this than the product you use.
I'll join this event and be team Nothing.
Here, I'll submit my first picture: Look at that reflection!

i will admit that i think its pritty cool that you use nothing on your paint yet maintain a great shine.
what are the down sides to doing it your way ? i would think that in the long run time and mother nature will take its toll. personlay i like the wax and polish route but if it works it works so gl to ya
