Default Tried that on my old Impala SS, I didn't think it lasted as long as advertised. Have you

Default zaino's not a wax, its a polish. You'll need to protect it w/ something like Blitz
1 grand wax

Default That is a myth about protecting, my car's finish still sparkles and is very smooth to the touch
Everyone has their own detailing tricks, but from the obvious here, putting anything over Zaino is not needed.

Default Would you buy a car based on CR recommendations?
Then why would you buy a wax that way? They are only after bang for buck. Sometimes the good stuff is worth it.

Default It worked fine on my cars for years. Does show swirls on dark like CU says.
1 grand blitz gives a harder shine and is a bit easier to use, I use that now.

My plan is to clay bar then Zaino Polish-Lok, then Zaino for clear coat finishes. Sound OK to you?
