Vote for Zaino.

I've tried damn near everything. Mothers, TurtleWax, ArmorAll polish, Meguiars, Zymol, and even Harley Glaze...

Most of them did more damage to my paint than good.

Zaino has been my grail for almost 2 years. I'll never go back. Easy on, easy off. Quick. Not expensive because of how long it lasts. Meguiars is the only close competition IMHO, but doesn't hold up to the challenge. Ignore the haters, it's just good stuff.

Why Formula 113 of course. THis product is unreal.

Seriously, I use Zaino on my wifes car and on mine I use as a test model.

This past weekend, it was Washed, Clayed, Washed, Meg #9 Swirl Mark Remover, Clearkote Vanilla Moose (it smells almost as good as Z7) and topped off with s100 which is the only thing I have found that is as easy or easier to use than Zaino (and I am a Zaino freak when applying. It looks great and I got 9 weeks of good solid beading from this last time. I hit my wifes car about every 3 months with Zaino (just because).

I use Meguiars on the paint and WD40 on the leather, door panels and dash.

I like Zaino. Its easy to use and lasts alot longer then wax. Traditional wax always seemed like it left smeary (sp?) residue spots that took forever to wipe off. Plus their Z6 spray works awesome between washes.

Are you kidding me Johnny? WD40 on your leather? Never heard of such a thing. What good would it do the leather?

The shine on the car is unbelieveable. When you run a towel across the surface, it just floats and if you leave it on the hood, slides down on its own. That gold class stuff is awesome, just for the heck of it we tried it on my mothers wagon, after only a wash and the metallic in the car jumped out, no middle waxing required. The Zaino stuff isn't available up here in Canada, or at least that I have seen, although I have heard so many great things about it.

For my leather, I've been using the Mothers line and the same with the vinyl/plastic.

Hope that helps you

Agreed. Zaino on the exterior, Armorall for the interior plastics. Also for T-top seals, etc.
