Over the years I think I have tried just about every single product on the market. I used to be a die hard Meguiar's gel user, but I had problems with residue being flung on to the rear quater panels. I've since switched to using Zaino's product and, for me, it has the best balance of shine, durability, and ease of use. Additionally, you can use it on all of the rubber items (e.g., window seals, t-top seals, windshild cowl) as well. Here too, it does a great job and is easy to use.

Hope that helps...

 

Hey that Hot Shine crap works great in the engine compartment as well. Spread it on!!
