The best answer to that is to try all three and judge for yourself. A lot of brands will promise you the moon, but reality sets in when you put it on, and either you are not satisfied, or you see better results somewhere else.

The brand that gives 1) the best protection and 2) the best shine (in that order) will be the best paint detail product.

 

I have heard zaino is the best but I also heard that the blue zymol is just as good and alot cheaper. That is what I use.

 

I believe Zaino is a polymer not a wax like Carnuba that turns yellow after awhile. Nothing wrong with the other two but Zaino is the most popular for the show car guys. That must tell you something.

 

Ok I have been hearing soo much about this Zaino stuff I have a few questions...

I am pesonally a lifetime Meguires fan and love the deep color and mirror effect it gives to my car(but it doesnt seem to last that way for long like Zaino seems to) My dad used to get Megiures from the production prep-shop that the owner of the racecar he used to crew chief for owned back when Megiures could only be bought through pro distributers and it was the industry secret...I know Zaino is not a wax, so what difference would I see in my car between the 2? Granted I also dont have the best paint(chips, scraches, kinda like swirl markes that just go up and down- and dont come off with the clay bar) plus its 2 years old dn not top of the line(but hey it looks great in the pics) and I have heard Zaino can bring out inperfections...And can Zaino hold up to my car sitting outside under a pine tree(sap) its whole life?

And finally to get me started how much will a full kit cost me?(I want everything to get the car looking great-but dont need wheel cleaners, clay bars, etc and I am on a budget)

thanks!
Megiures pics are in the sig

 

Zaino not only brings out the best in paint, it also will bring out the worst. If you have chips, nicks, dings, etc, it will make them stand out, as well as the swirls.

 

Zaino makes my old 93 Z looks like new.

 

I might have to disagree with you about the swirls. Zaino Z5 is designed to fill in swirls and fine scratches so I don't necessarily agree with you about the swirls. I have seen many a dark color car (especially my black firehawk when I bought) look horrible from the dealer with swirls and after 3 coats of Z5 the swirls were 90% gone. Zaino Z5 doesn't bring out the swirls it filles them in! I just wanted to clarify that. Thanks!

 

Yes Z5 will fill in the swirls. I should have mentioned that. But, the better condition the pain is in, the better Zaino will make it look. I haven't found anything better than Zaino. As far as the tree sap, it's gonna stick regardless of what you use.

 

Where is the cheapest place to get zaino???????????
