I like Mcguire's NXT synthetic wax. I've used that and Mcguires Gold class and the NXT is a big step above the gold class. I'd like to try Zaino sometime because of how everyone raves about it. To do a good Zaino treatment what would I need to buy? I wouldn't mind trying to remove some scratches in the clear coat either.

ZFX Flash
Z2 polish
Z5 for swirls/scratches
Z7 wash

and a good clay bar, doesnt necessarily have to be Zaino brand.

that should give you a really good shine.

use a good cleaner wax and then the dupont wax. it has a teflon coating so dirt doesnt stick. i wipe my truck down with a cloth every 3 days and it still looks like i waxed my truck after several weeks.

Well, no one can tell you what the "best" wax/sealant is. Best is a subjective term of the user.

Appearance is purely subjective. Durability on the other hand...almost everyone agrees that Zaino is the durability king.

The most important aspect of getting a deep, wet, shiny finish is PROPER PREP WORK. You need to clay to remove contamination and polish with an abrasive and/or cleaner product to remove swirls, scratches, and other defects before even thinking about applying a wax/sealant.

After your car is prepped, you might look into Zaino, Pinnacle, Tropi-Care, S100, etc. for protection and added beauty.
