Zaino is a decent product but if you are looking for a professional detailer I would look for one that has a good reputation for excellent work, good customer service, and one that comes recommended from previous customers, NOT one based on the brand of product they use. A good, quality detailer will make your car look excellent because of his skill in prepping the car surface and knowing what he is doing, regardless of the brand of product they use they.
As a perfect example for you I did a customers C6 a few weeks back. This guy has a trailer queen show C5 and his daily driver C6. I was doing his C6 and he asked what products I used because he is a DIEHARD Menzerna polish / Zaino LSP guy. These are the only products he ever used on both his vettes. I told him I used mainly Mequiar's products from the Megs Professional and Detailer lines. He was hesitant because of that and asked if I wanted to take HIS bottles of Menzerna and Zaino with me to do his car. I told absolutely not, I would use my products I always use and that i guarantee my work and that he would be pleased with the results.
When the car was finished and returned to him he loved the results and still comments whenever I see him how good his car looked when I returned it.
Bottom line, excellent results do NOT come from what brand bottle of product you use, but rather how well the car is prepped and how well you know to properly use whatever products you choose to use.

Barry is right on, it is all about the prep work. I like both Megs and Zaino, but my preference is Meguiars. I'll be doing a black Solara this weekend, and be using a clar bar + Zaino ZPC + M21 + M26. Since your car is new, this may be a good combination for your car too if it has similar paint attributes. I'll post pictures Saturday and if you like the work you see then I can do something similar for you, or replace the M21 with Zaino Z2 + Z8.

yes it is def all on the detailer though product choice does make a pretty big difference to but as far as protection i love jetseal 109 as the sealant topped with a coat of supernatural. thats my personal opinion that has looked and worked the best for a lot of my customers
Zaino does offer the best protection and a great shine. Contact Ira at www.lazaino.com and he can tell you if he sells to any detailers in your area.
+1 for Ira! I've purchased from him every single time I visit L.A. (No Zaino reps in Alaska so I drag Zaino home with me).
Ira and Robin know their product inside and out; they can give you all kinds of advice. If you stop by their home to purchase, you can marvel at their collection of vintage arcade games as well. For a geek like me, it's pretty slick. They are in Santa Monica, not too far from you...
Most detailers will charge you extra if you want them to use all Zaino on the car. Using Zaino for just the LSP is a different story however. At this time Zaino simply does not have polishes that are able to correct to the level of Meguiars, Menzerna, and 3M to name of few...especially if you are in need of serious correction.
Once the paint is polished to perfection, any LSP will look good.
