I second that, it has unparalleled mirror shine, but it only last a month or two at best.

I really used to like P21s, it lasted a little longer than the gold class, but since I have used zanio I could never go back to wax again, I think it it easier to work with, possily a better shine, and last longer,it does cost more money though.

i love it. Lasts about a month, but much longer if you use the Meguiers Polish prior to waxing.

I use Klasse and it does a great job and lasts for months. No natural wax I've used last anywhere near as long. MB of Laguna Niguel buffed out my black coupe a few months ago and they did an outstanding job, I was impressed and I rarely let anyone detail my car.

I would like to try some of the Klasse, I heard nothing but good things about this stuff. I think wax is great if you have time to wax every month. the weather in Illinois would not allow me to,even if I had the time.

Where to get Klasse?

I would prefer something that would last as we have the same problem of weather in London. I am in S.California at the moment.

the winter is why I like zanio,plus the more coats you put on the better the shine, sounds like zanio or klasse is the only way to go for durability.

I agree, for ultimate durability and shine, go for klasse or zaino. they are both more tedious to use than traditional waxes, but the durability is worth it.
