Whats some GOOD detailing products......I think I've had it with Zaino.....

like stated above. its like asking what do you like Best pepsi or coke. i do have to say some products aren't as good as others,but it's a matter of what you like and what you're happy with. I've never used Zaino,but always heard good things about it. how long do you leave it on? what temperature? also wax should be applied in light layers. the rule is if you're having problems removing it,its because you applied to much(thick layer). you should post up a pic of the amount to are applying. that might help.
by the way, where can i find black diamond wax? I've been wanting to try that out.when t cm to mySS I'm into waxes that leave wet,deep shine and nice reflections.I'm not to worry about protective waxes on the SS. its show car and doesn't get driven to much.

No product will be the right one for everyone. My guess is that the higher humidity in your area is one of the factors in your removal problems. It really draws out curing time. It's likely to need an hour or more to fully cure and come off easier. The ZFX additive will definitely aid in reducing that time.
If that doesn't work to your liking, Blackfire would probably be the next best option for sealants.

How about - Optimum Opti-Seal
http://autogeek.net/optimum-opti-seal.html
Though I have not used it, my research from autopia and with some pretty respected folks say it's pretty much on par with ease of use and durability of Zaino Clear Seal.
You could also try:
http://autogeek.net/optimum-spray-wax.html
I have heard it has some good results as well.
Both Optimum products above require a lot less effort than Zaino.
Here are some choices with sealants:

As someone said earlier, it's about your preference, sorry you had a bad experience though, I know you were really looking forward to sealing your fresh paint.

Alright...thanks for all the replies. Maybe I'll try it one more time, just one fender next week when I get back home. I'll let it dry for 2 hours. If it comes off easy then thats the problem (my climate)....and I'll keep it. If not, I'll try something else.
rcoers......I'll send it to you for nothing if I decide to get rid of it. Its almost full. I'll let you know.

I use Meguiars mostly, honestly cant complain. They are easy to apply, provide great results and best of all I spend more time driving it than waxing or polishing.

After having Zaino,Adams, Showroom, Jax, meguiars and mothers on my shelf for detailing (so my customers can choose what they want). My favorite wax, easy on and off as well as lasts quite a long time is P21S. it has thunderstormed for 4 days on my car (and drove in it once) and it barely looks like its collected any dirt. i could mist and wipe the car down and not have to wash it. and havent created any swirls when doing it.

I've been using zaino zpc (much different from z5) for polishing the past couple days and have noticed today every couple applications some of it will gum up and stick to the paint. It's almost like the thicker clay like stuff easily separates from the more viscous liquid. Shook bottle very well too
Slowly getting results but not what I expected. Thought it would offer a bit more cut.
