Default Is Zanio really worth it....

I've used Maguires (spelling?) gold products for a while, and they seem to work great without residue and don't cost a fortune.

Are Zanio product really worth the 2x cost ratio?

I won't claim that Zaino has any better shine than the other premium products.

But, it does last a lot longer... even after repeated washings.

It's a overwhelming YES! It lasts much longer and a much brtghter finish. And you will see it in the response to your post.

Zaino makes a HUGE difference. I had never used it before but gave it a try based on the forum's reccomendations...I haven't used anything else in 4 years.
A bottle of Zaino may cost more but 1-2 coats of it with some quick touch ups with Z6 will last for weeks, even after rain. Plus I feel you use less of it per session, one bottle usually lasts me over a year.

Your Mequirer's is very good stuff, I use it on my Monte Carlo, BUT Zaino is extremely good on the Corvette! I also don't know where you get the 2x cost. The bottle may be smaller but zaino goes on VERY thin and lasts a long time.
In my opinion, Zaino is worth every penny and the ONLY thing I'd ever use on my Corvette. My signature picture does show the zaino shine!

In my opinion it depends on the color of your car. I found with the Red MagII thar Meguiars gave me a more deffined shine whereas the Zaino reflextion was not as crisp in a side to side test. Who cares which lasts longer as i like to clean my car weekly or more anyway and the Z6 spray is the same as Mothers California Gold Instant Detailer-smell the same, same color, same consistancy etc. Sorry all you Zaino fans but thats just my opinion. It may work great on some other colors. :jester

Ive used everything in the many years Ive had vettes and in my opinion Zaino is no better than Meguires! I converted to meguires and will put my car up against any zaino car and you wont be able to tell the difference between the two waxes! :reddevil

You can get 20 coats from a bottle of Z2...that seems pretty inexpensive to me. We have not Zainoed our car in 6 months. This is a shot from Saturday's car show...

I won't use anything other than Zaino at this point. I love it. I use it on all my cars.

Why not someone who has both products, do half a hood which each, and see which looks better, lasts longer, and tastes better..

You oughta believe it. After using the clay bar for the first time, boy was I amazed. The paint is really smooth and the colour of my car seemed to get deeper with each coat I put on.
