I would say it's a good alternative if you don't want to shell out the money for Zaino (the best of course).

It seems to be a pretty reasonable price for a pretty good shine, but not one that's going to last long in inclement weather, like Zaino.

Of course, they are different materials, so there's no real comparing. But for a simple wax, I would say it's a pretty good deal for it's price.

It's extremely good. The only down side with it, and all carnauba-based waxes is longevity. Being from FL, I would highly suggest you look at a polymer-based wax. Blackfire is also a very good polymer as well as Zaino.

What he said...

I've decided not to comform with the ZAINO nuts here and went with Blackfire. Much better than the carnaubas...

In that Florida sun, I'd go with a Polymer...

Meguiars is cool.
I use their Gold Class kit
Wash
Cleaner
Polish
Mirror Gloss Wax
High Endurance Tire Gel
Tire Cleaner
Metal/Chrome Mirror Finish
etc etc

Works great, I love it.

Basically, no matter what wax you use...nothing stops dirt, grim, rain, and all that other crap that makes it flithy dirty after one short drive through it...then you have to do it all over again.
