Cool zaino vs. Meguires gold class

I am wandering if this is a good test. It seems to be unflawed, but who am I to say. Just take a look at this site

I think this guy did a good job, tell me what you think. I know hard core zaino lovers will beat me up, but so be it.

Good observation. That was my thought as well. He did not post his findings about the longevity of the products, but if nether is a "wax" and both are a polymer, then one would assume the same amount of time. Again this is my and I am very uneducated in wax, polish, claying... so on...

IMO the Zaino will last longer in terms of durability. I've used the Meguiar's Gold Class wax before and it does look good, just as good as many other products. But the appearance/looks only lasts for like a week and then it's gone.

The Zaino stuff will last a bit longer than a week in terms of looks. Downside is it's more expensive.

If you wax often, then the Meguiar's line of waxes is more than fine.

I've since switched to a sealant (lasts much longer) and usually will top with a carnauba wax (for looks).

The Meguiar's Gold Class Wax is not a polymer wax. It's a carnauba wax.

Currently using Chemical Guy's M-Seal (sealant) and Pete's 53 carnauba wax (also from Chemical Guy's).

If you're looking for something in-store, I've heard good things about Duragloss 105; It's a synthetic polymer/wax/sealant. You should be able to find it at Pep Boys I believe.

Start a new thread or just do a search on "leather"

Personally - duragloss leather condition is great. thats all i've used and can vouch for.
