I had never heard of Zaino until a few years ago when I started on these forums, I really thought all the hype about there products was just that, hype. I finally broke down and gave Zaino a try, I'm glad I did because it works great for me.

On most message forums you'll find most use Zaino, more than all the other products combined usually. It definitely has a great shine, but others do to, but it lasts and protects better than any product out there and doesn't wash off like most do. Another thing about Zaino is thatit is 99% optically clear, carnauba products are around 70-75%, so you are getting the true color of the car with Zaino. The Guru Reports, out of 40+ products tested, ranked Zaino #1 overall and #1 for synthetics. There is a reason.
