These tires dont show it off well but here goes;
old z16
new:
left, new z16 after two full washes, right is old z16 (almost gone)
I apply it twice for super ultra bling look; nice thing is as I mentioned it lasts a long, long time.

Kevin, I checked the US and Canadian site and they make no mention of a new Z16. How do you know you are buying it or that you have it. Does it say anything on your bottle about a revised formula.
Also, do you give the tires one coat or go for two for a bit more gloss and longevity?
Thanks

The new z16 is blue and has a different smell; I use two coats because I like the shine more (I like it *really* glossy), durabilty seems good either way. I'll take some pics of my tires tomorrow; last application was almost 800km and 3 washes ago.
Thanks Kevin, my Z16 dressing is white. I will look for it when I am at the Zaino supplier in Guelph next time. They will wonder when they see me taking the lids off to check the color

Last time I was at The Barbers Chair they had both the new Z5 pro and the new Z16 pro, so Sal's shipping it to Canada. Unless they're ditching old stock it should be the new stuff.

Cool. FWIW, the new Z5pro is highly recommended too. Way better than the original.
, don't say that. I just went and checked my Zaino supplies and I have 2 unopened bottles of Z5, not Z5-Pro. I have to ask again does the new Z5-Pro say pro on the bottle or what
