I've used only Zaino on all of my cars for the past 6 years. You can't beat it for shine and protection.

Wax or sealant? Good question.

For me, it depends how I feel, or how I feel about how bad my paint finish is to be more exact.

If I feel there are too many swirls, I end up using my P21s system, where I finish off the claybar and light polishing with the Carnauba wax.

If the paint is relatively swirlfree, I apply some Rejex, which is very effective and easy to use sealant.

I used Zaino many years ago, but really had a hard time getting past the many coats and curing times required between coats. I understand that Zaino has since incorporated catalysts that don't require the 24 hour curing times any longer.

My next product fetish may be a Flex orbital polisher with some Klasse or Menzerna products.

Thank you all. That was excellent info about WAX vs Sealant. I used Zymbol or meguires wax on my other cars. Do you guys recommend MB paint cleaner and paint care (Polisher)?
