"BEST" wax I'm looking to buy some wax for my car that does NOT have rubbing compound or similar cleaning components in it. I recently buffed the entire car with rubbing compound so I want to use a wax that is pure for a while. Any suggestions on some good products?

Not for me, I tried it on my daily driver as well. Half a hood Mothers, half Zaino. After about 3 months the difference was VERY obvious. Mothers held up better....at least in a harsh NY winter enviroment.

on a side note, if you have a garage, apply a very thin layer of zaino and leave it overnight. remove in the morning and z6 it. my friend did this 10 nights in a row and it looked gorgious

The most durable and longest lasting is probably Meguiar's #16. Not sold in the united states anymore, but is sold in Canada and Europe.
I'm a big fan of #26 and #21.

I would think if you had poor durability results with Zaino, then there was something amiss in your application process.
