After that, they looked at the paint and felt it. The winner was P21S, which beat every other product, even Zaino which everyone thinks is the greatest stuff since sliced white bread. My dad got a can, and man, this stuff is friggen amazing. My car sits in the driveway, and for 1 week it repelled water and still had a great shine and smoothness to it. So, now I dont have to wash my car every week. I would def recommend buying this stuff, and giving it a shot. It puts Zaino to shame.
Just out of curiosity, have you used Zaino?

I've tried just about everything. You name it, I've tried it. NOTHING can compare to the full Menzerna lineup. Intensive Polish, Final polish, Finishing touch glaze, and then the FMJ. Nothing lasts longer and when you finish, the towell will literaly SLIDE off your paint! And now there is a quick detail out that I'm anxious to try from them.

i havent tried pinnacle, but ive had the meguaires gold class series, zymol, zaino, turtle wax emerald series, and nothing was as good at the p21s. I have an entire magazine, they tested 46 car waxes...and the p21s was the only one that got an A rating. Zaino got a C+ and the Megauirs got a B+

Clay bar, Menzerna twins, Zaino. Hit it once a year. It's my daily driver and I live in Seattle where it rains 364 days per year. Never had any problems with beading or shine. When I Dawn the car and clay bar it every year before show season it really does not even look like it needs it.

But I can tell you the difference is AMAZING. I had lots of small hairline scratches, now I have next to none. When I pull my tranny in a couple of weeks I'm gonna do the entire thing over except this time Clay bar first.

You all focus way too much on waxes. It is all in the prep and paint correction. Certain types of waxes and sealants may appear differently and may make your look "perfect" but that is b/c of fillers and oils. If you truly want a brillant long lasting finish it is more than just washing, claying and applying wax. Search, read, ask questions to learn more. www.autopia.org is a wealth of info, start there.

Actually, Zaino was rated #1 by in the Guru report.
