Default Zaino or 3M??

What do you guys prefer? My roomie absolutely loves his 3M. He even went as far to strip the Zaino off his 01 Vette apply the 3M. I tried the 3m on a sectin of my car and noticed no difference from the Zaino. I have been using Zaino for 2 years now. I love it!!!!!

What are you guys using? Anyone protecting their baby with anything other than Zaino? IF so lemme hear about it. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

I used Zaino on my car when I 1st bought it but since then i use The Wax Shop (SUPER GLAZE) for my car. my car has the same shine and mirror effect that the Zaino did. I have used the Glaze since my chevelle. I like both products, maybe i'm just a **** for certain waxes! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

You can get a nice shine from furniture polish if that is all you want. Carnuaba is very old technology, Zaino is a synthetic polymer. The best thing about Zaino to me is the protection and durability. Use what satisfies you. I have used so many different products in over 30 years I can 't count them. Four years ago I skeptically tried Zaino, and I quit looking for what would meet my high expectations. Try different products and find out what satisfies you and what doesn't. On many message boards Zaino is the hands down favorite product, there is a reason.

I use Zaino 90% of the time, to get out deeper scratches I use 3M swirl mark remover for dark cars....works wonders with a buffer... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I have both products, I use the 3M product line to remove swirl marks and so forth. I see them more of a "prep" product line rather than a "sealent" product line. They only make waxes and glazes, no polymer sealents like Zaino.

Zaino will last months on end while 3M should be re-applied every two weeks for max shine.

However! Zaino is quite expensive compared to 3M. I use Klasse, it is a polymer sealent, as good or better than Zaino and cost's a whole lot less.
