Zaino. Multiple coats have protected my side gills from any rock chips.
I've been using Zaino for 20 years and have never had a complaint.

Menzerna line of products, get numerous comments at shows on paint from onlookers. Use 303 aerospace on interior and eng bay. Stone on windshields. Dub on tires.

Surfcity garage liquid with white carnuba makes the car look wet and last awhile!!!!!!

I think I am like most and have tried a bunch of different waxes. Years ago a friend told me about Zaino and I was like yeah sure it is that good. I tried it and have not used anything since. I was a little skeptical being that it is a polymer and all you do is wash the car in dawn dish soap,clay bar it , and apply multiple coats of the product. I am amazed that on darker cars, (wife has a carbon black equinox) there are no swirl marks etc which are really hard not to get in a dark color. The other thing I was impressed with is that I can get a good year out of the wax on her car and my truck. This obviously depends on if you have a garage and how much driving you do. On my ZL1 I have 6 coats of the wax on it and probably will not have to do it again for a few years being it is not in nasty weather. I have had a lot of people ask me what wax I use so I guess that is a compliment to the product as well.

I just bought a porter cable 7424xp. Can't wait to use it and finally get a real gloss on my 2014 Summit White

All ADAMS all the time. Machine polish with their Cyclo plus brilliant glaze & Americana.

+1 for Zaino - just picked up my ZL1 used... the paint needs some Zaino-love for sure - too many swirls for my liking. Nothing the full regiment won't take care of, just finding the time.

Zaino is not a polish such as Z2 or Z5 you need to machine polish first to get the swirls out then if you want apply Z2 on top as a protectant. Other wise its some good stuff!! Best of luck! Time is always my enemy keeping mine clean too!!

Yep. Well aware... been a Z junkie for years. Planning to use ZPC with my porter cable to perform correction prior to the z5, z2 then ZCS. I'll post up pics when done.

Perfect your method, prep the paint properly and use whatever you want. I stick with synthetics as they usually last longer.

Have any of tried Optimum Polymer Technologies (OPT) ??

Very nice stuff and super easy to use. All the products I've tried have been exceptional to me. I have some Zaino here and gonna try that too. DO a little comparison . I am a detailing fanatic so its fun for me.
