Is this what you're looking for?

Two points about Zaino that haven't been made. One, it does not leave any "wax dust" whatsoever, does not turn white in crevices, nor does it turn your black trim white if you accidentally get some on there. Two, the smell is great!. Sounds silly, but it is a smell that releases those clean car endorphins and just smells of summer track events - kinda like coconut suntan lotion and bikinis at the pool...

Sorry, it's been a long winter... sigh

And you've seen the shine. All the car dudes 'round here swear by the stuff.

Only comlaint I have about Zaino, is that it creates static on your car and makes it attract dust like CRAZY!!! You can just use a California Duster and get it right off, but boy does it ever attract dust.

Yeah, I remember that too. It seems to me though that once you use the polish lock detailer spray that the static goes away.

I have tried Zymol, Zaino, 3M, Klasse, Pinnacle, P21S, Meguiars, and AutoGlym.

I love the immediate look that a carnuba wax provides, but I'm too lazy, and it rains almost everyday in the summer, that I now choose ease of use and longevity.

As such, I do 3M Imperial Hand Glaze every quarter, followed by a weekly bath with Meguiers Gold, and as needed (4-5 weeks) Klasse (acrylic) or AutoGlym protectants (both are not waxes). I love Zaino, but too expensive, and the Klasse and AutoGlym don't stain the rubber trim white as well.

BTW, AutoGlym and Klasse win awards as well.

http://www.autogeek.net has products from Klasse, Pinnacle, 3M, Meguiers, etc. They also differentiate between Carnuba and synthetic sealants: http://www.autogeek.net/carwax.html
