Zaino THIS!
Well many of you know that I am an avid Zaino user but by word from a friend and a fellow forum member I decided to give Adams a try and I gotta tell you, this stuff is the chit! I think it comes off easier than Zaino and leaves just as good if not a better shine. I like it so much I think I will be adding it to my product line. (things soon to come) 
The Adams metal polish #1 and #2 is hands down the best wheel polish I've used. It blows others out of the water. This is only one coat of wax on the car, I plan on putting several more this week. Not much sunlight to show off the shine but it looks pretty good in the pics. Enjoy!

I have only used Zaino on my Vette and I agree it is (was) the best.
I was in Bowling Green for the Labor Day deal and met the C-Magic guy and his product. Wellllllll, WOW.
It seems that the Museum is now using it to detail all the new cars.
You might like to try it, I did and liked it.
Save the wave.

Must of been Richard in Cali putting the blackout coating on.
To answer some other questions, I purposefully have not put Zaino on in a while. The car was washed with Adams wash, awesome by the way, less than an ounce will do the whole car. Then, clayed the entire car with detail spray, then used some 3M light compound to get some of the deeper flaws. Next, used the Adams polish and the Adams swirl remover. You mix the two so you don't have to worry about the extra step. Then used the Butterwax which is a polymer/carnuba combination.
Yes, done with a Porter Cable DA. JoshVette was in Houston and one of the cars he was doing was mine since I won his services at a meet in Dallas. To get him out early, we both attacked the car.

Except I forgot to send my third brake light.
