Default Okay, not to create a Zaino Bros debate, but some questions on Wax

I'm trying to decide between Zymol products (easy to get near my house, and a body shop I use recommended it) versus Meguiars, which has a much more extensive line of products that I have used for 6 years, and really like. Their scratch removal products in their professional line, as well as their finishing rinse are awesome. I will most likely stick with what I've been using, but would love to hear from someone who has actually used both, and can give me a real life comparison.

I never use wax. I glaze it only, almost every time I wash it.

Default Have not used Zaino, however I...

use Klasse AIO and Klasse SG which are similar to Zaino in that they are synthetic, Klasse is acrylic based. Synthetics such as Klasse and Zaino give a mirror-like reflection but do not have as deep a shine as a wax. I apply Klasse once a year and use Blitz (carnauba wax) over the Klasse, you can do this as often as you like. The Klasse/Blitz combo gives great protection, mirror-like and deep shine.

Imo the above combo works much better than Meguiars, I have tried most of their products btw. As far as Zymol, the stuff you can get locally (like at KMart)is most likely "Turtle Wax". I believe the "Turtle Wax" Zymol indicates Chicago somewhere on the bottle, not 100% sure of this. I have heard this from many sources but can't remember the specifics.

I have found that I cannot locally source the "better" products but it is easy to order them online. The link below has a lot of good info.<ul><li><a href="http://www.autopia-carcare.com">http://www.autopia-carcare.com</a</li></ul>
