Default Is Zaino better?

Been using Meguiras gold class wash and clear coat wax on my '98 sebring silver vert. I like the results. Nice shine. Haven't tried Zaino products but, have seen alot of posts about them. Are they better than Meguiars gold class? :chevy

All i have to say is try it and you'll be kicking yourself in the butt that you didn't use it sooner. There is nothing like it in my opinion.

I don't think the shine is light years better, but what is better, is the length of time required to put a coat on and take off. Zaino goes on/off so much easier than the others.

Just recently I used Mequiars Gold Class on my wife's car. I use Zaino on the Vette.

:yesnod: And the wife's car is red! The Vette is silver. If I had the time to clay bar her car, I would switch to Zaino on it too.

I was a long time McGuires and Mother's user, until I went to the Dayton Drive and saw some Zaino using Vettes first hand. I was convinced and five coats of Zaino later, and two unopened bottles of Mother's carnuba in the cabinet, I will never go back. :yesnod:

I've heard the Meguiras Gold is a very good wax,my brother inlaw swears by it. I have never tried it myself.I have tried the Zaino and it is by far the best wax I've ever used,for shine :cool:

I think so... I use other things too, but Zaino is the easiest to apply and remove and the shine is unreal...

Zaino's great, but that first time is a B**CH! Wash, claybar, wash, dry, Z1, Z5, wait to dry, remove, Z5 again?, wait to dry, remove, Z6, Z2, remove. Thank goodness the Z2 comes off easier than the Z1+Z5. Thought my arm would break off. :cry

There are lots of waxes/polishes that can make your car look good, but for beauty, durability and ease of use, nothing beats Zaino, IMHO.

It's worth it. They have a simialar shine when freshly done, however the Meguires will wear off sooner, but the Zaino is bonded to the paint and not just ON TOP of it. This makes it last MUCH longer. :yesnod:
