Which wax or polish gives the slickest finish for the longest?

[RCK]

Just curious. I love that characteristic.

Zaino has a strong reputation for a very slick finish and great durability.

Zaino for that "icy" slippery feeling. Klasse is more like polished marble... but your hands "drag" and don't slide as easily.

Either Zainos or Klasse should make the paint feel slick for a long time, like the others said. If you prefer a carnuba based wax, Collinite is supposed to last the longest.



Personally, since I have a small car and like the 'wet' look you get from carnubas and don't mind waxing about every 6 to 8 weeks, I'll stick with Souveran unless my upcoming test of P21S replaces it.

Hmmm, I think that "really" slick feeling comes from good surface prep, especially claying and cleaning (if needed). Of course, Zaino tends to heighten that feeling better than anything else I've ever experienced. You can get a nice smooth or slick feeling from almost any wax or sealant, with good surface prep, but the trick is how long can it last on it's own....which is what I think sets Z apart from the rest!

True. I was removing swirls from a Suburban the other day, and just going over the hood with Meguiars Dual Action Cleaner/Polish and Swirl Free Polish, the paint was super smooth and slick, even before I waxed it.

I have used many waxes, polishes, and polymers over the years and I have to say that Zaino (preferred) offer the slickest feel of all the products I have used. I can't say it's the best product for everybody but it is for me.

From a purely visual perspective, I find Klasse (several layers of SG) offers unparalleled performance. I have never used the Zaino system so I can't compare the two.



Bottom Line: $40 spent on the Klasse twins is an excellent investment that will last most users quite a long time! If you seek a little more dazzle and can afford the time, finish up with that perennial favorite: BLITZ :bow

Not a wax or a polish, but Eagle One Wet QD leaves behind a very slick finish and a nice shine. It's inexpensive too, $3.99 at Pep Boys. You can enjoy this QD's slick quality, while still using your favorite wax, plus it's quick to reapply.

Zaino Z6 when applied after a Z7 wash is amazing.

Hold on I need to feel the paint again.

I am sure if you give it a try you won't be disappointed.

Yea, I would have to agree. I was using the Eagle One QD as a clay lubricant and it was so slick that I really couldn't tell where I clayed! The same goes with Z6...

Clearkote's Quikshine is another QD that leaves paint ultra slick and glassy-and at $11 a quart, the price isn't so bad.
