Mequiar's doesn't last, that's the problem....a few months maybe

Round two, Zaino Z-2 Show Car Polish wins easily.

Round three: After 4 weeks, we washed the hood with a mild car wash to remove the dust, water spots, and grime. Using a chamois, we dried the hood off. After the hood was dry, we used a light spraying action from the water hose with the hood tilted at about 10 degrees. We wanted to see which wax was still "beading" or "sheeting". The Zaino performed very well. It still had plenty of protection and the water just ran off in sheets. Very impressive. The Meguiar's was horrible. That section performed the same as the section with no wax at all. The Zymol NSX Glaze did very well. It beaded up nicely and the water ran right off of the hood. The Zymol Natural Liquid Auto Polish performed very well too. It was as good as the Zaino.


...describes my experience with both products

Zaino Bros. was the recommended wax by many people on this forum so I decided to use it. I bought the beginners kit for about $85 and it was definitely worth it.
I don't care how many times freshly waxed cars get posted. I always love seeing newly posted pics of clean cars. Keep it up.

An advantage of Zaino over Zymol - I've used both a lot - is that Zymol stains black trim and, after a couple weeks, shows up white in all the cracks and crevices you didn't get buffed out. Zaino doesn't turn the trim white, doesn't leave dust, and doesn't bleach out in the cracks.

I think Zymol leaves the car "slicker", in that I can't leave a rag on the hood without it sliding off. Shine is comparable as far as I can tell.

I guess I haven't used Zaino (just once and didn't like it) enough to agree or contradict your statement... But for me, I haven't had any problems with Zymol staining black trim. I just simply wipe it off, and voila. Now I use the the blue-green bottle you can get from just about any store. It's called a cleaner wax. The one on the waxtest site seemed different. Do you guys know if those are both the same? But yeah, I love the slick feel after Zymol... I love how it hides minor scracthes, swirls, and other imperfections. As far as dust, it's very minimal. A lot, lot less than the other brands... I use the Zymol detailer too. After that coat, I follow it up with pure carnauba... I gotta do another coat this weekend
