Zaino is a fine product, for sure. But if you want to spend much less time working on your car, try Meguiers NXT products. Quick and easy and looks every bit as good.

Welcome Zaino is a fine product. That is all I have used on my vette. I use NXT on my other cars. I don't know anything about 5 star shine. What ever you decide on, enjoy the work in making her shine

Congratulations to you, and welcome to the C5 CF family. Frankly, I like both products (Zaino and Meguiars NXT). But, I must admit that the NXT is easier (less steps and less time consuming) to apply. However, I am about to try Rejex, and, look forward to comparing the Rejex results with the other two above mentioned polishing products. Many Corvette C5 owners here on the forum have voiced praises for the Rejex. You might want to check Rejex out.
