I've used this stuff for years and always loved it. I definately recommend it to anyone.

What's sad is the actual paint quality on our 70K cars...but hey we can't have everything.

I recently tried Meguiars new "High Tech" wax. It seems to be good. Supposed to be great for hiding swirl marks.

Most on this forum highly recommend Zaino.

I've had two black Vettes prior to this one, so I am biased towards Zaino.

I’ve got a Black C6 Z06 also and you got to use Zaino it’s the only way to go. I suggest you get Z5(it’s a filler not a abrasive so it helps hide the the swirl marks. You can use it as many times as you like, the more you use it the better your Z06 looks.) Also pick up some Z8 spray, use this after you wax your car for the finishing touches. It might sound confusing but its really simple.

I was zaino man all the way until I picked up my z at the museum. Thet put c-magic on it. I think it is better and the car wipes off easily, even after driving it on the track. My yellow z looks more yellow than other z's. I am now a c-magic man after years of zaino use.

You can seal/protect you car with either a traditional wax or sealant. Here are some great products:

Wax -- Pinnacle, P21S, Clearkote
Sealant --- Wolfgang, Four Starr, Finish Kare, Z, Klasse

And for washing, look to a sheepskin mitt as possible for washing and a good waffle weave micro for drying. And Megs Gold Class Wash is considered one of the best store bought products available.
