The only benefit of ZFX is that it allow the groomer to apply multi coat within a very short time to get the wet wet effect. It add as a accelerator. Subsequent coat in my opinion you do not need it.

I personally uses Zaino product myself. I only use the Z2 and Z6. First treatment i send to Chandra but subsequent i DIY, easy and effortless. Do note that Z2 is a sealant not a cleaning agent. So if you do have black spot u need the claybar or any mild cleaning polish to clean off first.
Never know that you are a supporter of Zaino as well. The product is indeed easy to use and effortless. For those who find Autoglym easy to use, you will be evern more happy if you try Zaino.

Never been to groomwork. Can't comment on them. I believe they use different brand of polish while chandra is the sole distributer of zaino product in SG and MY.
Groomwork uses various brands of grooming product. One of them is Autoglym. Chandra is indeed the sole distributor here and no other shops except his own shop (Cazcomp) at Simon Road uses Zaino.

Hmm.... Actually, nothing to stop them from buying the products and providing the grooming service. ther are using zainol but aft hearing fr u guys decided to go with chandra instead. Frankly, after the 3 coats, think taht the effect is less pronounced for light coloured cars.

Yup, I don't think there is any brand of grooming products that can provide a super shine on light colored cars. Zaino has been proven for dark colored cars (for my previous ride as seen below). I continued with Zaino on my silver Ody and is happy with the effect with lower expectation, coupled with the ease of use.

Hey.. Mine's a silver ody too. still coming to grips with the size of the car. Can I check with you as to how you wash your car? I can't bear to let the petrol kiosk fellas do it but at the same time, I dunno if I can spare the time to wash the car consistently every week. Tks!

If you do have a good paint protection on, washing of car is very easy.

Make sure to pour water over the whole body to remove excessive dirts before washing with shampoo. U should start from the roof then to the bottom. Shampoo a portion at a time and always rinse your sponge or towel. Use water to rinse off the soap and dry the car. Whole process 45 mins.

Mine is white and I only wash once a week.

I'll be trying Glare using my redeem voucher from EssoMobil (2500 Smiles points). With that, it will only cost $225 for Glare on the Ody. Quite a good offer too.
