Posted this in car care section, thought I would add here if interested.
Zaino still looks good to my eye. I'm putting a ceramic coating on my Son's new wrangler this weekend/looking forward to seeing results.

Zanio will always do it for you. I did ceramic on my Buick. I’ll stay with the Zanio on the Vette.

If I remember right, Bill (ET) has also reviewed Turtle Wax spray highly recommending it on his C6. Based on that, I tried it on my F150 and really liked it. I think I will probably stay with Klasse on the C5 but will use the Turtle Wax on all the other family cars I do. Thanks Bill for the idea.

Looks great. I love the the C6 Z06 rims.
My friends neighbor was a chemist for Turtle Wax, now retired. He says the best wax is the easiest one to use and to wax often. He also said that Florida sun is brutal on a car.

the wax tech has really come a long way. I remember 20 years ago we didn't have **** LOL. Now you can just spray it on, wipe off. The ceramic stuff is suppose to last 7 months up to a year.
