Used Zaino for years; the last couple of years I've been using Meguiar's Ultimate series polish, wax and detailer with the same results in regards to shine and durability (lasts just as long). There are a lot of very good products out there these days, IMO it doesn't really matter which you choose, the key to getting a deep, long lasting shine is the process and tools you use from start (wash) to finish (waxing).
Forget all that wax stuff and go with this ceramic - Feynlab Ceramic Lite
As a Pro detailer and certified Feynlab installer and tested more products that I care to think about For the DIY this is the best product out there.
You simply can't beat a Ceramic coating, and this one is easy to apply.

I know you have always been a big Zaino Clear Sealant/Z8 fan as I have been.
Considering this ceramic. I like to detail so effort isn't a problem. How easy is this to apply and will it outshine my current Zaino regimen (assuming a perfectly prepped car.).
Thanks.
You actually asked two questions, Polish and wax are two totally different products. Polish will remove swirls and small scratches for the finish and it is what give the paint the shine. Wax, while it wile enhance the shine is really a protection to the finish. Trying to decide which is best is one of the toughest questions there is. Everyone here has their favorite. I happen to use Adams and that is all I have used for years.
If you enjoy detailing then you just need to pick a product that does what you want as far as looks and ease of use. If you don't enjoy the polishing and waxing then the ceramic coating may be the route for you to go. It can be expensive, but if done correctly all you will need to do is wash your car and the shine will be there for anywhere from one year and up to five years depending on the product used. If you go the ceramic route, verify the detailer really knows what he is doing. to apply it the car finish must be in perfect condition. That means the detailer will need to do a full paint correction before applying the ceramic coating product.
