Wolfgang has a slightly different appearance from Zaino. It has more of a carnauba look - a bit "warmer." Wolfgang is very slick initially because of the oils. That fades pretty quickly. Overall, Zaino will last much longer, but both are nice products. Just depends what you like.

Any opinions on Zymol? I buff it off and spray-bottle a fine mist of water (to settle), buff again it looks glossy for a loooong time. I personally haven't used Zaino.

Here's a nice product comparison chart, but I don't believe it includes Zaino products.

Most boutique products only come from specialty stores or online.

Zaino can be bought from www.zainostore.com or from an authorized distributor.

I buy many of my products from www.pakshak.com

That chart is for abrasive polishes only, not waxes/sealants.

I see what u are saying i noticed that also. It seems to make the paint really deep. I am guessing that zaino has the same steps to it? I guess i will try zanao after the wolfgang is done.

Have you every tried liquid glass? thats the same thing i used to do after i was done polishing with liquid glass. Although liquid glass is strictly a polish i believe.

No matter what brand of product you are using, you should be doing the same steps (proper prep work)...wash, claybar, polish as necessary, wax/seal.

The only difference with Zaino is that you add a few drops to the sealant before applying - less than 1 minute of time.
