Default Zaino or Wolfgang Fuzion?

I have only ever coated my vette in Zaino products and love them, but been reading great things about Wolfgang Fuzion wax.
Anyone have experience with both to compare and give me insight on the Fuzion?

Love Zaino, but could use a bit more depth on the black paint.

Wolfdogs will chime in here and show you what depth on a Black vet really is.

If you want to try something new, go for it, but if it's cause you want more depth and zaino isn't doing it for you then maybe you're not using it the best way. Like said above, the guy who uses it religiously on here, wolfdogs, has an unbelievably stunning deep shine on his black c6...

PS the fusion stuff is top notch too so you can't go wrong to try it once.....

If you want depth you need to prep the car properly with clay and polish and THEN seal it.

The best sealant/wax in the world won't give you very good depth if you haven't prepped the paint for it while the cheapest sealant in the world will give great depth on a properly prepped car.

90% prep and 10% seal/wax gives you the look you want.

I would give it a try, certainly will not hurt to experiment a bit.

Prep is key, I then seal with Wolfgang 3.0 Sealer and then 24-48 hours later and then monthly Wolfgang Fuzion to enhance the shine

Pinnacle Souveran does a great job on blacks and reds, but will not hold up under the elements like Zaino. Fuzion really does a nice job on metallics.

Jetseal 109 + Butter Wet Wax is sweet. I've got a full gallon of butter wet wax, lol.

Mirror wet finish is personally my favorite product of theirs though.

I bought and have tested many waxes/sealants, including Zaino, Fuzion and Souveran.

On black and victory red, the winner is Souveran if you are willing to reapply every 3 to 4 weeks.

If you want optimal results, you can top Powerlock with Souveran.

OK guys,

All this talk about what's best for darker colors, what about Arctic White cars? I'm looking at the new Maguires for white cars. Any experience or advise?

you ain't gonna get no depth outta white. depth is all in the dark spectrum. You can make white pretty but you cant make it deep.

On a white paint, I would go with something like Klasse Sealant Glaze or Collinite 845. You aren't looking for depth, but mirror-like reflective finish.
