Zaino mayno
Zaino is a rip. It costs an arm and a leg, takes a day to apply and its essentially the same as a variety of poly's in the market, some of which, are easy to apply and actually last significantly longer. I use black magic poly. Shines great, lasts a long time and makes essentailly no dust. If the the just shined, wet, look is essential, simply use Meguiar's spray detailer on top of it any time, it takes a whole 5 minutes for that.
Another total crap is zymol, the only thing special about it is that it smells like ripe bannanas
One thing about black magic, when washing your car, use a non-wax wash liquid. Any sort of wax residue makes it much harder to remove.

Remember one of the first infomercials ever made for Auri? Well, that's the stuff I still use today. I've tried a bunch of others including all the others mentioned here except Zaino and none are as easy to apply, look as good, or are nearly as long lasting as Auri.
P.S. No I don't set my car on fire or drip acid on it or anything like that, though the claims I've tested (lasts a year, easier to apply, looks great) are true so I don't doubt the more outlandish claims.

Just take your car to Ziebart and get their diamond gloss treatment. Had all 3 of my car done and all I do is just wash and dry. Since the application has been done, the cars have looked better than new.

I was wondering if anyone out there could clarify the difference between the two and give suggestions as to which is the better way to go. Also, I would like to know how often I should have this done, and exactly what I should expect after the job is finished. For example, how long will finish last? Any special precautions I should take / not have done / products to avoid.
I have been using the california mop (red feather duster looking thing I purchased from AutoZone) on my car between car washes and it has been working wonders thus far as it has wax in it.

Light scratch all over the car
My dealer put paint sealent on both exterior and interior. The other day I washed the car(black Ext) by myself. But I realized there is light scratch(like a comb style) all over the car after the wash. I didn't use high quality soft cloth to wipe the water out. I recall I used the same cloth to wipe my MDX but no such scratches noticed.
Is the scratch coming from the sealent? Can I put wax to clean out the scratch?
Or maybe I need buff using the sealent.

Call the dealer find out what was put on your car by whom. Contact them and tell the company or the istaller the issue. See what they want you to do. If not happy then I would recontact Acura dealer and explain why not happy.
