I feel compelled to add my $0.02. I think it depends on what you are looking for. that "foot deep" shine or long lasting protection are mutually exclusive. Protectants like Zaino or most of the synthetics will not "build" layers. They are excellent protectants, and will last a long time, but in my opinion wax (several coats properly applied) will look better in the short term. Wax will build up layers and cause the light to refract, similar to the way light is bent by water. The down side is that the wax will evaporate, and need pretty much constant maintenance. My '66 is a custom dark blue metallic (lacquer) and while there is a difference, it is not nearly as noticeable. I also have a 2001 millennium yellow convertible. The difference on the yellow is like black and white! With the protectant it is "shiny"; with several coats of wax, it literally dazzles.
