I'll take pics of the next time I Zymol if anybody is interested. I haven't tried Zaino, but I do need to claybar. I also don't use that cleaner paste, just the zymol Japon polishing paste. I like it and the application is super easy. Pics next weekend maybe.

Zaino for the win. I have about 9 coats on my car now. I'd say the Zaino easily lasts up to 6 months, but I put at least one coat on a month on the STi.

Please read my first post about the test done on different waxes, as it is very important to read to see what this thread is about. Thanks!

Well now that I have been using the Zaino products for the last couple of weeks, I am now convinced that this product is really really good, and I am impressed with the finishing results. If you follow the instructions as I did it is a very long process that requires alot of steps but there techniques work very very well!!! The one thing I like about the polishes they offer, is unlike alot of waxes I've used they are very easily removed. I think the big 100% Cotton towel helps alot!!! I haven't even broke out their Grand Finale spray detail yet and am already very happy with the results. Here is a picture notice the reflection of my other car and trees in my trunk lid. I highly recommend these products, pictures do not really do justice to how the finishing results really look.

here is my reflection without zaino, i think you can get the same results without long processes with different products. I think zaino just doesnt worth that much time.

Like I said pics do no justice!!! All I know is I have been using meguiars for a long time and I have seen the results at the end with Meguiars and Zaino and am much more impressed with Zaino. Do you have any experience with Zaino??? Also if you take the time and read through why I started this thread to begin with you will learn that like I said the shine is just a bonus. The real test is 1-2 months from now, will Zaino hold up??? From what I've heard it should!!!

If you never have used it then don't give your opinion about it because you are not coming from experience!!! YOU don't know if it works better or not!!! So go make your own thread about Klasse products don't hijack mine!!! P.S. I don't mind taking this many steps to make my car look this good in fact I actually enjoy it, expecially if it works better than any other product I've used so far. If you or someone else started some thread about how well Klasse products worked I wouldn't jump all over your thread and tell everyone that Zaino products work better if I have no real experience with using Klasse products. So please next time I am asking you for the respect of me and all the other IWSTI members, don't do it again to anyone like you already have in this thread OK

I sense some 16 year-old writing with an attitude, dont forget to study english on your spare time, cause you need it. Plus your title doesnt clearly state (best waxes and polishes) this is a Zaino only thread, my $0.2
