In Reply to: IS Zaino better than Meguairs Gold class?, Duggy, Sun, 30 May 2004 19:41:37
Alert me when someone posts in this thread:

Gold Class is a "one step" polish/synthetic wax. It has light cleaners and oils in it to provide the shine. GC looks nice when first applied but doesn't have a great rep for durability - maybe 4 weeks.

Zaino is a lot different. There are no oils, abrasives, and almost no solvents in it. It has no paint cleaning/polishing ability so you'll have to use other products to polish paint beforehand. But its far more durable than GC or most every other product on the market, shines amazingly well, and is very slick feeling.

GC is fine for a $10 WalMart product. Zaino is a true boutique product where engineering and development replace market positioning. Its not perfect though; its only available via online purchase or by one of their distributors, and it works best when used as a system with their other products so the initial investment is steep (approx $60 to do it right). So I guess it all depends on how much $$ and hassle you're willing to expend to use a product like Zaino. For me its worth the effort to obtain and use it but Gold Class is the #1 selling premium wax for a reason. Its your call, of course.

Hope this helps.
