Meguires here...Zaino stuff is outrageous in price and takes way to long to put on with their multi step process. The same effort with Meguires gives the same effect, for a fraction of the money.

MHO.

I used this Meguiar’s wax this week. It was very easy to use and produced a great shine. However, I have no idea how long it will last...

Mcguiars has made great products for many years. They have a great web site where you can learn about their products and services.

I agree on the Zaino. I've used it on my Z28 since day one and the Zaino seems to actually create a protective coating to the paint. Someone had opened their car door pretty hard into my door when I wasn't around, I noticed about a half inch of white paint where they hit the door. I got a damp rag to wipe the paint off, the paint came right off and never left a scratch on the car. I just recenlty Zaino'd the bike, all painted surfaces inculding the chrome. Here is a pic after the bike was Zaino'd.

Pledge! Works great as a quick detailer wax and leaves a great gloss. (Heard of this on a Honda VTX forum at a neighbor's place...tried it and am amazed).

Hmmm, interesting idea. Does it build up over time?
