I have been using Zaino for the last 7 years and have been happy with the results. However, I figure it never hurts to check around to see if there are better products. All 3 of my vehicles are light in color, so while they do not show imperfections like darker colors, they also do not show depth like darker colors. Is there anything durable I should try that gives equal or better results than Zaino?
Vehicles: 2002 Honda S2000 (Sebring Silver)
1999 Lexus LS400 (Pearl White)
1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee (White)
Thanks in advance.

Opti-Seal would be my choice.

Collinite or Duragloss but IME both are less durable than Zaino.

Werkstat, Klasse, Optiseal, and Duragloss all work fine. Werkstat`s my favorite.

One other fantastic product for metallics is 1Z Glanz Wax: you`ll be amazed at its gloss and how wet it looks. IME it lasts as about as long as Zaino (which I also love), but I think it looks better on light colors!

I`ve got a nearly full can of Glanz Wax, really nice product but too hard to carry eleventy billion LSPs with me. Might have to bust it out next time I have a light colored metallic car to detail since it does look really good. :)

I`ve had good luck with image10finish.com stumbled on it a couple years ago.
The first coat is about on par with most good waxes the second coat is right up there with the best that I`ve used and 3 or more coats and I haven`t found anything that does better. I`ve used klasse, zaino, pinnacle, poorboys, griots to name just a few of the other products.

I know you used to like it - why did you stop using it, I wonder?:think:

Collinite and Duragloss less durable than Zaino? I guess many factors play the part.
