Favorite Polymer - Blackfire, Klasse, Zaino or Meguiar's?

I'm surprised nobody else has posted this kind of poll, but what is your favorite sythnetic polymer. Don't give me any of that "depends on what color" or "depends on what kind of shine you are looking for" stuff.

This is a poll simply to see which among the favorites here at Autopia is the most popular. I trust we'll keep it civil too.

My personal favorite is Zaino.

Yep, I can say some good things about several brands but if I was stranded on a deserted island with my car and one bottle, I would want it to have a Z on it.

Another vote for the big Z!

Zaino is too easy to apply and remove to not have the top vote.

I've only used it on a model car and already I like it better!

a Model car? Whats up with that?

Klasse provided a great shine, and is protecting the HECK out of my truck so far. Even through some really crappy weather - a few coats of SG are like armor plating - a quick wash, and the shine and beading were like a freshly waxed car. (did I add economical - I've done 3 cars so far, and I'm not even halfway through the bottles!). Add the carnuba topping of your choice - I can't see how you can possibly go wrong!

Zaino.... This way my car is the only one looking like plastic on the street and unique to everyone else.

Puter... How's the water beading on the model car? Pls do a REAL CAR!!!

Ferrari F50, red. Metal car, not sure if it is clearcoated and am not about to test it

. I put 1 coat of KAIO on half of it and Z1/Z5 on the other half and evaluated, then did the same after 3 total zaino and 4 total klasse coats. Fun test.

Just tested the beading / sheeting abilities for ya:

Sheeting: Go zaino! 2 tiny beads on a small surface. Klasse, 3-4 small beads on the other side of the symmetrical car.

beading: Zaino had consistantly smaller beads than Klasse, but this was a panel with a only few inches of area. Carnauba (blitzed the hood over the k / z) had larger sloppier beads.

William: I'm gonna zaino my real car after I prep it for a while! Have to start workin on my repair techniques first . . . i'll do it soon i promise! right

AlBoston, congratulations on your new car!! I think with all the chrome layouts, altezza-like tail lights and silver paint, Zaino would look killer on that car.
