I was just the first person to respond to your thread, I don't think I will be the last. BTW, I was just a regular Zaino user just like any other Joe before I started working for the company, I was impressed with the product enough to do it on the side, believe me, I do not HAVE to do this (work for Zaino), I wanted to work for Zaino as it was the only wax or polish I have ever used that I was not disappointed in.

That all depends on what you mean by "best".

Best protecting and longest lasting I've found by far is Zaino. I've found that nothing lasts through a Canadian winter like it.

Best shine, now thats a purely subjective thing. Some (like me and a lot of others here) prefer the high gloss "dipped in glass" look that only multiple coats of a synthetic like Zaino will provide. Others prefer the warmth and slight darkening of the color that a carnuba provides and don't mind doing the increased maintenance to keep it looking good.

So, the best depends on how much effort your willing to put into keeping the finish and the look you prefer.

Just my $.02

I started with Zaino, then used Souveran, P21S, Klasse, Mother's Reflections, Formula 113, 3M Liquid, First Finish, and Blackfire. Each has pros and cons, but I'm back to Zaino with 5 coats of Z2/Z5 and the Vette has never looked better.

I think any one of those would work great. My experience is that I started with Meguiars. It had a REALLY nice shine with not a lot of effort. The problem was, it wore off to quickly for my liking. I switched to Zaino and had to put in more effort on the front end, but now I only shine the car up once per season. Otherwise it just gets regular washes and leather treatment inside. The shine with Zaino is just as good as Meguiars, if not better, and the staying power of the shine is a lot better, IMHO.

depends on your shine want...

if you want a Glass shine... then Zaino

if you want a more Wet shine then i believe Zymol is great

now... if you want long lasting protection...
ZAINO hands down... a wax will never last more than 2 washes

Give P21S a try and if you do not like it go to Zaino.
