It's not wax, it's polymer sealant
And yes it is the best. But if you dont have a dark colored car I wouldnt waste the money. I've used it on white and chrome silver. Couldnt tell the difference between that and Meguiars

If you are only going for the look and you are only going to put on one or two coats then it will be better on a dark car. But if you want a wax that will last way longer then a normal one then use zaino. You can also build up the number of coats which will give you a deeper look to the car.

I use zaino on my winter car/heavy use car and it is silver. It had five coats on it over the summer. The last time i waxed it was october and I am still getting beading when water is on it. It lasts way longer then a coventional wax.


Personally i think silver can look pretty good with zaino on it.

I ordered the "Zaino Bros' Total Protection Show Car Kit" about a half-an-hour ago. From what I've read, that should be all I need to get started. Anyone think otherwise?

With the exception of towels, everything you need is in the "Kit". If you are looking for towels dftowel.com for buffing/polishing autopia-carcare.com or pakshak.com for drying using the "waffle".

I am a stocking distributor for both DF towels and Zaino.

The quality of regular micro fiber towels, I call them this because the normal micro fiber towel is a MAN made fiber of polyester and nylon ( www.dftowel.com is a unique and only micro fiber towel that I know of that is made of all natural organic materials incotton and cellulose from plants) is determined by the weave of the fabric. The cheapy micro fiber towels at discount stores and discount parts stores are not the good stuff.

See this page to learn what is good man made micro fiber towel for your paint and what is not:
