Never used Zaino so I can't comment on it, but everything I ever used from Meguiars is great stuff(paricularly the new NXT line of synthetic products).

The Nanowax blew me away , I swap between that and Meguiers NXT . I mail ordered Zaino for quite sometime and I switched back to the original products I used to polish and wax with because I honestly just dont see the difference . Between Zaino and Meguires professional( tan bottles ) or NXT line , either one is no better than the other . Their both awesome

Claybar
Meguires Showcar glaze or swirl remover if needed
NXT liquid was or Eagle Nanowax
Followed with wipe down of NXT qwik detailer

Formula for success

I use almost exclusively Meguiar's products. Both from their Professional line and the NXT line. Though I have used Mother's Clay Bar and like it as well (since it was out before Meguiar's had a clay bar system). I have tried "cleaner waxes" such as Black Magic and Kit. I found those easy to apply but the results and longivity do not compare to Meguiar's (or other well known and proven clear coat waxes). Of course the best results come from a combination of a great product, the proper way (separate systems rather than "all in ones"), and structured methods.

I don't need to wax.. I got the Simoniz System 5 on my car which puts a teflon coating into the paint that basically makes it a permanent wax. I can only use sealer and glaze on it and I use Mother's

I just switched from meguiar's "regular" paste wax (in maroon box), to Meguiar's NXT, and loving it! You dont have to do the Karate Kid Manuever (wax on, wax off), easy to use.

**** is rediculous

i'm a huge fan of collinite. did my car and my dads truck and my moms 01 impala and my sisters 99 sunfire. it does more than wax it renews the finish and gets rid of all the scratches. when we're all together it looks like we all got new cars

Pinnacle is the best, by far. (Yes better than Zaino) But at 70 bucks per jar (about 1in high and can fits in your palm) I'll never ever buy it lol.

Meguires NXT Tech Wax. By far the best wax I have ever used, hands down.

The shine is awesome, and the paint is smoother than glass. If I put my microfiber towel on the hood, it just glides off like nothing. Its freakin awesome

I second. It's the best wax for the price. Zaino does not offer enough impovement for the price increase.

I've always used Meguiar's, with excellent results. And I've had 3 black vehicles, so if it made them look good, it's good stuff!

Haven't tried the NXT yet, but based on what I've read here I'm going to!
