To be honest, I find M26 a bit overated as 1) It doesn't last long2) the result is not as stunning as I would hope for3) M26 is a multistep product, and requires prior steps for polish etc. If you are going to be hardcore with multistep systems, I'd recommend straight towards Zaino process. Zaino is exclusive as you can't even use normal car shampoos for the wash process heh. Hence I've never gone that route, plus it requires a LOT of patience unless you get the accelerator ZFX (which is not cheap) instead of waiting for layers to cure. I've seen the results of Zaino and its mind blowing! Unfortunately my lifestyle pattern is not condusive to the Zaino way.  Also I'd caution being over enthusiastic at the begining. Car paint is NOT like skincare. Skin grows back when you exfolliate, but with clearcoats, once you cut, its gone forever. There has been many "learning" processes from enthusiasts, trial and error and many had to get a new paintjob after 1-2 years into the hobby <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />. You should always inspect the condition of your paint to determine what process you should take and what program you will have to commit to to maintain the condition of the paint. As someone put it, washing very frequently (i.e. daily/almost daily) with a good shampoo is probably the best thing you can do for your paint. Btw, I have known zeytee for many years now.   One of the great hobbyist. However, his personal car stays at home (aka garage queen) most of the time and he drives a beater for his daily driver for work etc.  Thats hardcore!</blockquote>
