Default so is carnuba (sp) good, bad, or what???! and which wax.?

After using Meguiars for a while i heard raving about Zaino Zaino Zaino and that carnuba is bad for your car/coat/etc... so im trying Zaino and yes its shine is spectacular Id say, but then i went to my friends who i saw for the first time, using Pinnicle, man almost the same as Zaino. And the discussion of carnuba being bad versus good i hear all the time saying its good, no its bad, no its the best just keep layering it and it gets deeper and deeper. Maybe Zaino is better than meguiars, maybe Pinnicle is better than Zaino maybe carnuba is..well, ill leave it at that.

Carnuba isn't really that good because of all the solvents in it...I use Zaino as you know and the only thing I would EVER think about trying would be the really really really expensice ZYMOL, not the $10 bottle stuff you can get at AUTOZONE, I'm talking about the real good stuff that comes in the little jars....but I am just going to stick with the best polish around...ZAINO.. <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />

Carnuba is old tech. It doesn't last and doesn't really protect, attracts dust, it even washes off. I've tried many products over 30+ years of taking care of my own cars, nothing ever came close to Zaino, which is why I'll continue using it.

Well i will be the rebel here and say I use Meguires Gold Class wax.. the main reasons I dont use Zaino is that you cant buy it at the store.. they were out of robes in my size and I couldnt learn the Zaino chant <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Zaino probley lasts longer but as often as I wax it dosent really matter <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
