Zaino vs Non-Zaino Pics

So I know this by no means scientific but I always wondered myself what a Zaino'ed car looked like as opposed to brand new car off the lot.

So when I snuck into BMW of Sterling tonight to take pics - I was very close to an E91 SG - so I pulled up to it for kicks and took a few pics of my car next to it. I assume dealer cars in the lot although new and detailed, are exposed to the elements so it may not be a fair comparison.

I won't say which car is my Zaino'ed car vs which one is the dealer car

no offense but the pic quality and zoom is not good enough to distinguish easily. I have a hard time noticing in pics the difference between zaino'd cars and cars that are just new and have been cleaned. Sometimes i think the z2pro and z6 i use is a placebo...but then as i glide my hand over the paint i know its all worth it
