Zaino is about as good as it gets. They also make a auto polish that will remove minor scratch and swirl marks. BTW scratch X is useless.

Zaino is a contentious product because the finish it provides is a matter of personal taste, you either love it or hate it. I'm in the latter camp but can appreciate why others like it.

To me, the finish is too artificial but it's a case of what you like personally. Some Zaino users top the finish with a Carnuaba Wax to "warm" it up.

If possible, find someone who uses Zaino, check out the finish on their vehicle and if you like it, go with Zaino.

I agree with harley on Zaino. I think the finished gloss is oddly artificial looking. Two positives with Zaino.
1.It is a super easy product and process to do. Really is a wipe on wipe off product with absolutely no effort needed. For that I applaud it.
2. Long lasting. In my experience it lasts twice as long as waxes do.

I use a bottle of the Grand Finale spray detail as a QD when I find a waterspot after drying. I've had the same bottle for a couple years now. The spray bottles they use have a fantastic misting action. The product smells good too and doesn't leave any streaks in black paint.
Other than that I've moved on from Zaino. A few of my buddies still use it just due to it's simple application and longevity.
