FAQ's on Ziebart Diamond Gloss™

1. What’s the difference between Diamond Gloss and Zee-Glaze Paint Protection?
While Diamond Gloss and Zee-Glaze both offer very good protection against paint fading, loss of gloss, and minor scratches, Diamond Gloss is made of a liquid polymeric resin that results with a hard shell like finish, while Zee-Glaze is made of polymer sealant that results with a semi-hard shell like finish. Diamond Gloss also protects the paint against most environmental damage such as acid rain etching, water spotting, fruit, tree sap, and bird dropping markings, and even fuel spill staining. It also forms a hard protective barrier that resists scratches and abrasion better than Zee-Glaze and any other wax, silicon, polymer, or sealant in the market today. While Zee-Glaze offers a guarantee against loss of gloss, Diamond Gloss offers a guarantee against loss of gloss and paint damage due to environmental causes, (i.e. acid rain, tree sap, bird droppings, bug splatter, oxidation and UY rays from the sun).

2. How does wax, silicone, and polymer based coatings compare to Diamond Gloss?
