Better than Zaino?

The $tealer was saying the product put out by "A touch of Class, Inc." called "ResistAll" was a better long term paint protection system. Is this more BS from the $ gouging experts? (AKA CAL-TEX protective coatings...)

Get Blackfire :P On topic, not too many products match zaino 50 coat shine. 1 and 2 are zaino and blackfire, probably the best two waxes that you can find out there. The prices are pretty high tho.

to be honest I'm not that impressed with Zanio, I have about 3 coats (done by the book) and it doesn't seem much better then any of the over the counter stuff. It does comes off real easy and doesn't leave much residue, but there are a lot of cheaper brands that can do that. I won't be buying Zaino again, not worth the extra bucks to me

i use meguiars gold class and its the best damn shine ive seen on any car next to mine, i dont know how zaino can be so much better, i would love to see a car with zaino next to a car (identical car) with a fresh few coats of meguiars gold class...i would be willing to bet that even the zaino followers couldnt tell the difference based on looks and feel.

Meguiars is nice, but what about longevity?

A few days in the hot sun and carnauba evaporates off the paint. Polymers can withstand a hell of a lot more abuse.

So overall you'll spend about the same amount money, but far less time keeping a Zainoed car nice and shiny.

I like the fact that Zaino lasts. I'd rather be driving than waxing.

I don't think Zaino boasts strictly shine though! Granted, you could achieve intense shine (like Shawn's) through many multiple coats, but you are PROTECTING the car when you Zaino, as well as adding shine - which is why it's not a wax, but a polymer...as NSXNEXT stated.
