Default Zaino vs Pinnacle vs 3m

I just bought a c6 and it is getting shipped from Chicago to Buffalo NY, so the car will probably be a mess when I get it. On my C5, I used 3m Perfect it because that is what they use at my cousins body/detail shop. I am happy with it, but being a Black C6, I want that rediculous shine "wet look". I hear alot about Zaino on here, so that is definately in consideration. Has anyone used all 3? I get the 3m for free at the bodyshop which is a plus; the Zaino is not rediculously priced for the package, but the Pinnacle is 80 bucks for 8 oz, which I think is alot for that amount. But may be worth it if it is the best. I am leaning really between Zaino and 3m...I don't know anyone that has used 3m and Zaino so I look forward to hearing the replies
I want the ultimate shine!

On a new finish and/or properly prepped finish, the visual differences are going to be pretty small. Looks are subjective anyway.

Zaino is going to have the best durability.

When I need a sealant, I normally go with Zaino. When I need a carnauba, I normally go with Souveran. You won't go wrong either way...it just depends on your durability needs.

Zaino will be more durable and last longer like ZaneO said. Zaino gets my vote, but I have never used the 3M or seen it used, so I can't speak for how it looks.
