You should check out the section with all the washing and waxing info. Everyone on this site loves Zaino, but I have never tried it. In my experience with white cars though, you can never get a true deep shine like you get with darker colors. You can mostly make white look clean and really white. Meguiars tech 2.0 is a great over the counter wax that lasts for a long time.

I have not put any wax on my car yet. It still looks like new after 9 months and 3400 rain and snow free days. Love that summit white !. Lots of bug remover though- LOL.

Also try a clay bar. It will leave your car smooth as glass. Don't forget to wax afterwards.

Its a good wax if you have $175 laying around! I have the $50 mini version (3oz) and I think Adam's Americana holds up better than the Fuzion.

Head on over to http://www.adamspolishes.comand watch their detailing video series...

Since you asked for a wax I suggest,

Blackfire Wet Diamond
Collinite 476
P21S

I am currently giving Chemical Guys E-zyme Natura a shot, from reviews it lasts up to 6 months and I can tell you this is the best smelling wax out there.

If you want a sealent

Zaino
Blackfire
Menzerma Poly Lock

Nah you can get it for $200, plus it is a large jar.

Anyway you can actually get a same if not better setup than Adam which includes Natura wax, glaze, sealant, interior cleaner, leather cleaner, detailer, clay, wash, mf, and vrt for the same if not cheaper than what people are paying for Adams.

I love how when the Camaro came out nearly a year ago Zaino was the goto car detailing product, and now Adams is the goto item. Both are excellent products and I won't knock either but if people would actually do more research and READING they would find there are better and cheaper products.

But Zaino is polish, not wax. Doesn't it eat your clear coat over time?

Nothing will "eat" your clearcoat except bird poo, and acid. Polish removes very small amounts of clearcoat as your polishing, but it stops when you stop polishing. Removing clear coat is how you get a true swirl free finish, because you literally remove the imperfections in the paint.

This is where Zaino gets confusing for the end user. Zaino's language is not true to the standards of the detailing world. Zaino Z2 polish is not a polish at all, its just a sealant wax. Z5 Polish is not a polish, its a filler wax. The only TRUE polish zaino offers is Z-PC.
