I have had a chance to use a couple of Adams products and have been very please with them, but I have yet to use there butter cream wax. What do you guys think, is the Zanio an overall better system with the polish and wax or are they pretty much equal to one another. I know many rave about the Zanio, so I would like to hear from both sides.
Jeff's Werkstatt is also very good. www.jeffswerkstatt.com Prime for prep and Acrylic Jet Trigger is the sealant. I have the regular AJ (non Trigger) and it's good but the Trigger version is easier to apply with the same durability. Almost quick detailer easy.
This stuff lasts. According to the Autopia guys who've used both (I have not used Zaino), the durability and look of Werkstatt is comparable to Zaino and there's no mixing with Werkstatt (i.e. adding ZFX to Z2 or Z5 Pro).
Jeff offers great customer service. When I ordered my Werkstatt stuff, I saw on UPS Tracking that they had damaged the package and were returning it to the sender (and they didn't even notify him!). I emailed a surprised Jeff and he personally ran out Friday afternoon and sent out a new order before he even got the damaged box back from UPS!
I prefer Zaino because I feel it is one of the only products that I have used that give me both looks and durability. I also find it very easy to apply and remove. Cost is not my biggest decision maker but with that said I still think Zaino is VERY economical for numerous reasons. One, it takes very little product to do my vette, less than 1/2 oz, two, it is one of the most durable products I have ever used and last for months upon months, probably over 6 months on my vette and atleast 3 months on my daily drivers which are in the severe elements 24/7. I usually don't like quoting times since it is different for everybody pending on your environment but as a rule of thumb I would say Zaino lasted atleast 3 times longer than most other carnuaba based products and even some sealants.
If you do a search I think you will see that the majority of the people on the forum agree with me and are Zaino users. I was one of Zaino's biggest skeptics due to all the BS I heard on this forum and held off trying it for a while but once I finally wore down and tried it I was amazed and kicked myself for not switching sooner. I will also have to say that every one of their products are awesome and I was equally amazed with every one.

I have used Werkstatt products on my cars and a few customers cars over the last year or so. IMO on darker colors Z5pro looks much deeper (carnuba like) then AJ/T. AJ/T looks brighter, but on darker colors I prefer Z5pro. To get a deeper look from AJ/T you are gonna need to top it with Carnuba Jett or another carnuba. I got about 4 months out of AJ on the wifes car. Washing 3-4x a month and topping AJ with Z8 or menzerna HGAS 1-2x a month. Also with AJ you are gonna get your best results with prime or PS. I would consider that an extra step or about as difficult as mixing ZFX with Z2/5p.

I've never used Adams, so, I can't offer any opinion on that product
I have used Zaino, and have been very pleased
Easy to apply and remove, longer lasting results then I have ever seen with any other product I used in the past
I wash the vette, watch the water bead, drive the car, and theres no need for drying
Now, asking such a question is a good idea, but, it will/may yield different opinions, just like this one is mine, so, I would recommend that you try a few products and make your own decision.
I used to only use Zaino. Problem is , Zaino streaks if the cars a little warm and their products cost alot. I have swapped to Adams because I
think the car looks better, the product is WAY cheaper and its very
easy to use compare to the z6.
When I first tried Adams, I threw away all my Zaino. Thats my answer.
Enjoy.

Zaino or Adams?
