I used Meguire's years ago & thought my car looked awesome. Then someone got me to try Zaino. It's like night & day, you won't be disappointed.

If your looking for a long lasting Full Synthetic Polymer Sealant try Hi-Temp's Terminator



If you simply dread when the time comes to wax your vehicle and always seem to put it off then you need TERMINATOR! This synthetic paint sealant is formulated with high amounts of advanced polymers to provide long term protection even in the harshest enviroments. TERMINATOR provides excellent clarity leaving your vehicles surface fully protected with a slick, wet look appearance.

Cajun Shine. Period. Tried em all, nothing beat it. PLUS! It is the easiest to apply. Sounds like a scam. I get so many compliments on it I buy cases of it wholesale and resell it to my friends and coworkers.

Anyone who knows car care products will rank Zaino as among the very best in regards to durability and reflectivity.

I used some Zaino products before and they do work very well, but are pricey too. I switched to Adam's products, and have never looked back; they are awesome, provide durable shine (the Hawaiian sun and salt water can be brutal on paint), apply and come off easy, I got the same results as Zaino and are cheaper than Zaino.

Zaino and Collinite are both great products.

Hi-Temp has been around since the 50's. It is a professional line mainly used in dealerships and body shops. I will be giving my car a few coats this coming week. Will post a few pics when finished.

Terminator is very easy to use and gives you that slick, wet look finish. We sell a lot of it online.

Collinite has been my favorite for the last ten years or so.

For Polish... Menzerna, Optimum, and Megs Pro stuff.

Sealer and Wax.... Chemical Guys. Their 50/50 wax is incredible.

Zaino is ok.. it has a lot of hype but there is much better stuff out there... IMO.

Zymol products here, I use the Carbon as it's formulated for dark colors, Official products for Christies Auto Auctions and Pebble Beach Con Course de Elegance. They have wax & polishes that we could only dream of buying.

I have tried a bunch... the most expensive being Pinnacle Souveran Carnauba paste wax and for the best bang for your buck I would recommend Klasse High Gloss Sealent Glaze. It's cheap, you use very little and it is easy to apply. Being Acrylic, It needs be put on extremely thin and cure overnight, then buff off with a damp cloth to remove excess residue. 2 coats give great durability.

I recently tried Zaino... Z2, Z5 and Z8 Grand Finale and am very impressed. They cost more but have better opical clarity giving an excellent shine. Keep in mind that your paint has to be in it's best condition before you start with any of these.

Here's a shot of my car after a few coats of Zaino.

meguiars 3 step. Paint cleaner, Polish, and then instead of caranauba wax, I use NXT tech wax. I've seen Zaino cars, mine took a lot less work and looks just as good. My car never gets washed or wet, I just dust it off/detail spray because it only goes to shows and out on perfect days. Usually just add a coat of NXT each year to get rid of any imperfections that may have happened.

I started with the "Zaino Triplets" and that seemed like a good place to start. I just added to my collection after that. But that package will last you a loooong time. I still have the 1st one I ordered last spring. Its almost time to reorder.

If your up to the drive Id let you try some of mine free of charge. Of course by the time you drive here and back you will have probably paid for some lol
