I asked my body-shop buddy this question a few years ago. This didn't surprise me, nor should it anyone else, but no manufacturer has any "secret" formula that is "better" (however one wishes to define that) than others.
But he did suggest trying Collinite Insulator Wax, available at Wally's, Amazon, etc.
The big plus for me is it is easy to wipe off. In the old days people thought the tougher it was to wipe off, the more protection it gave. If there was ever any truth in that apparently there isn't today, because this stuff comes off as easy as it goes on, and lasts as long as any others I've used.

When I first read the thread title and saw "Polish recommendations" I thought it had something to do with someone from Poland.
So I was side-tracked right from the beginning.

You might try combining the Z5 polish with the Z2. They layer, and provide great, long-lasting protection. With this combo I only have to apply twice annually.

I used to totally be a Zaino guy, but after using samples of Adams Buttery Wax I am totally sold on Adams. It goes in super easy and comes off super easy with no residue and the shine is incredible. Zaino is very good, but I think Adams has one upped Zaino with their Buttery Wax!
