Window cleaner on Zaino?

I was just at the local hand car wash, which usually does a pretty good job. Just before drying the car, the guy sprayed down my entire roof with the pink stuff he uses to clean the windows. Lord knows why; I was too far away to stop him. Assuming it's some sort of generic Windex-like cleaner, did he just strip off my Zaino?
 
Spritz some water on the roof and the hood .. if it beads different he might have. I think you need a good mix of alcohol/water to lift Zaino .. not sure if ammonia based window cleaner will do it.
 
Unless it contained alcohol, it won't remove the Zaino. You might have a duller finish depending what was in the solution.
 
It's highly likely that your Zaino is no longer there. While Z does last longer than anything I've tried, alcohol or ammonia will remove it. IMO, beading isn't too good of a determining factor, as water reacts differently to glass than to paint.



Personally, I doubt it matters if it stripped the Z or not. Why do you want to know? It's not like glass needs the UV protection of clearcoat. It doesn¡Â¦t fade as quickly as paint.



My 2 cents...

I think the car wash employee sprayed glass cleaner on his roof, so he's concerned about what it did to the Z on the paint, not the glass:

IMO, I'd re-seal the roof. Even if the glass cleaner didn't completely remove the Zaino, it probably didn't do it any favors in terms of longevity. I'd throw some more Z-2 or Z-5 on the roof after the next wash just for peace of mind.
