Zaino vs Meguairs vs 5 Star Shine

Hello guys,

Can anyone recommend some good detailing products for polishing and waxing? I've read around the forum and did some research and it seems some of the most popular products are Zaino, Meguiars Nxt generation, and I also heard about this PPS sealant called 5 Star Shine. It's a new technology used by NASA and is supposed to provide protection for the paint for up to 5 years. I know of a detailing shop nearby that uses a similar sealant using Teflon and it's always crowded.

However, I'd like to hear your opinions which products are good for
1. Polishing/removing swirls/scratches
2. Paint Protective Sealant/wax

I use Menzerna for my polishing products. Optimum Opt-Seal for sealant, and Dodo Juice for wax....although thinking of switching to Pinnacle Souveran for my waxing needs.

I don't have an opinion on polish, if you're speaking of traditional abrasive polish.
In my opinion for paint preservation, an acrylic paint conditioner works better than
any wax on all colors.
There is no mess, no waste, no buffing and an acrylic paint conditioner
never builds up, yellows, dulls or has to be removed.
