The topic of this thread is terrible, I know. With all of the debating that has been going on, I thought I would take the time to put some thoughts on "paper."
I've used a TON of products...from OTC to super high end....used them all. Every product has their strong point, as well as a weakness. After much debate, I've gone back to Zaino on my own car. Why? The reason is simple-It works. Sure, other products may look a little deeper, or offer a lower price point, but at the end of the day, Zaino looks good to me, and it offers great protection, as well as ease of use. With little maintenance, the car continues to look good after just a simple wash. Their lineup of products is fairly complete, and I am impressed by their offerings as well.
Now, this is not to say I do not use any other products. In fact, I am using Optimum/Ultima on my wife's Murano. Why? Well, I feel like Ultima just takes any abuse you can throw at it. Honestly, my wife's vehicle is on a lease, so she does take it to the tunnel wash and sometimes goes long between washes. So, in this case, Ultima just stands up to the task. Again, it looks good even after a touchless wash.
What's my point? It's basically that I believe Zaino is top of the list, but so is Ultima. Does it make me a Zaino Zombie?? No. Does it make me an Ultima Zombie? No. It makes me someone who stands behind the products he uses. LEt's all use what we love and get along.
