Default Wash/wax/polish... Zaino still the best?

Last time I gave a damn about washing/waxing, Zaino was the best thing to get.... is that still true, or is there something better or more worth the price?

It's all opinionated and is more about skill than product honestly. I'm a detailer and I use meguiars. Just personal preference. Though if I wasn't budget minded I would use Adam's Polishes stuff. Seems very good from what I have seen...just a little pricey.

Asking about wax is like asking about handguns, beer, or women.

Everyone thinks there is only 1 answer and everyone thinks they're the expert who knows the answer but really it's all about preference and what you're trying to accomplish with it.

3D/HD products offer the best bang for the buck. Look at HD Poxy, HD polish, and 3D Pink car soap

I love Zaino products because they work, are very user friendly after you understand them, and Sal is accessible and very helpful. I prefer buying from an individual like this and he has always been great.

With that said, there are tons of high quality products out there just the like the other responses already pointed out.

I've been using zaino products for over 10 years. I've tried other brands but I always keep going back to zaino. It's proven itself and works great whether its on my DD or the garage queen. The durability of zaino is also very impressive. Over the years I've polished my DD with zaino on half the hood and another brand on the other half. Zaino always outlasts by far the other brands I've tried. For my DD which sits outside year round in sun, rain, snow, salt, the water will still bead up well after 6 months of applying a coat of Z5.

Try duragloss products. Look amazing, priced well below competitors, do a great job, and the durability is insane.

I have used Zaino for many years and will continue to use Zaino. One of the best detailing product lines out there in my opinion.

I have heard good things about that stuff but I've never used it.
