Yes, you are right about that one. Actually, I plan on buying the Zaino products but I do not have a credit card anymore. Sal does mail in orders' right? I could fill out an order sheet and mail it in with a check correct?

Hmm last time I waxed mine with Meguairs NXT was 4 months ago and still shines like new. I do have a daily so the Z is only driven in good weather. When the Z was a daily I used Meguairs NXT and did not have to wax it every 2 weeks. Yes Zaino's last longer then wax. But Zaino's is a seleant not a wax. Looks amazing just shows that both products can achive the same shine.

NXT is a sealant, too.

If you want, check out the pictures on my cardomain site. Not one of them was taken with Zaino on the car...the process you use matters a LOT more than the product. Past that, there's countless other products out there you can use that offer awesome looks, too.

Zaino and NXT are both synthetics.

That must explain why NXT last longer than Meguairs Carnuba which is a wax. But not as long as Zaino's. Hands down Zaino last the longest!! Not trying to knock Zaino users. And like you said process matters a lot. And yes there are countless products that can produce stunning shines.

Depends on which Meguiar's carnauba you're talking about. NXT will not outlast #16, but it will outlast #26 and Gold Class.

It's too bad that #16 got discontinued, that was good stuff.

Yes High Tech Yellow #26 tends not to last long.
