    That's what I use. The paint on our cars is in great condition for their age (162,000 on her Rav4) but I took it offroad one day in search of rare butterflies and well I sort of scratched the hell out of it and the Ultimate Compound kept her from killing me. :)

    We had to clear the trail first

    Nice !!! I always love a good 4X4 adventure. This is the first time in 30 years or so I've been without a 4WD 'something'.

    First, I was not trying to be "rude", sometimes our memories fail us.

    I agree that for a short time - just about any wax or sealant will look great. Zaino has the longevity, plus the ability to have a great depth of shine - if you take the time to layer it. most waxes cannot be layered - oh, you can put wax over wax, but it really doesn't do anything.

    When you have the time, please review this:

    Zaino vs Zynol, Wax test, Online FFR Magazine.

    This has been around the internet for several years now.

    No problem. Interesting article, but I will continue to rely on my own testing involving the use of Zaino for a year on two separate vehicles. I am very happy with the results I get from store bought liquid waxes. I am also past the days of spending time putting five layers of polish on a car. I guess I am just too lazy to deal with the use of Zaino products (washing with a certain type of soap, using several different preparations, adding accelerator to the polish, applying multiple layers for best results).
