My favorite is still Chemical Guys ,but I still use Adams often depending upon what I am doing. I have not used Zaino ,but looks like you can buy from them directly on-line. I use those two on both my Camaro and Vette with excellent results.

Just wish I didn't have to spend $9.95 on shipping a like 9 oz bottle of stuff. Whats up with that?
Just from my experience, since you own a CGM, I would suggest Z-5. You won't be sorry.

For correcting and cleaning the paint, i use adams. For protecting the paint i use zaino. Zaino is very easy to apply, doesnt add any clouding to the finish, and lasts a long time.

Zaino for the polish, unbeatable wet deep look!

Adams for the waterless wash, towels, interior cleaner, wash pads

Polishing wise, the best results I ever got were from Meguiar's Mirror Glaze line. An m105-followed-by-m205 stack with corresponding pads will provide unbelievable paint correction and shine, even with a PC. However, if I have nothing to correct other than touchup polishing, Adam's Fine Machine Polish is my pick. Their polishing pads, in and out spray, Machine Super Sealant, Brilliant Glaze, Buttery Wax and wash pads are also my favorite. Combining Adam's orange swirl killer pad with Megs m105 has saved me a lot of money on things I thought couldn't be fixed.

I've been using Zaino for the last 3 years or so, but I recently picked up some Adam's products and have ordered a few more. I will keep using the Zaino polishes and leather products for now, but I am going to try out the car wash, detail spray, waterless wash, and a couple of other things from Adam's. Like I said in another thread, I am a big fan of the amount of info the Adam's guys provide to help you get the most out of their products. I'm curious to see how dependent the Zaino polishes are on using their car wash and detail spray to get the best results. It's all still a learning process for me since being this concerned about my paint is relatively new to me.
