Both products can give an incredible shine. Surface prep is the key. I like Zaino better because it suits my style better. Once I have my initial layers on, I can just give it a quick wash and hit it with the Z6 or Z8 and be done. Meguiars is a complete wax job every time I wash. To each his or her own.

And yes, I have used both many times.

You may want to do a review of posts in the car care section. I've never used it but they have an interesting web site.

Well, after some guy smashed into my car and tore off the front left fender, I used a little Zaino 4746 and it was as good as new. I am waiting for the new stuff that rebuilds your tranny for you.

Ok, seriously, who DOESN'T like Zaino?

Just to point it out, Meguiers is a wax and zaino is a polish.

Most of this level of products works well, it's more a personal choice than anything else.

For the record I use Adams Premium Car Care Products. They work and last just as long as the others listed here but they go on and come off much easier and the shine is brilliant.
