I know some of us dont have much time to do a 3 or 4 step job on our cars. Anyone know of a good "All in One cleanser, polisher, wax etc..

I know Zaino has great reviews , but its hard to get stuff from the U.K. to the U.S.

Zaino comes out of New Jersey. Go to their website www.zainostore.com, order it and you'll have it in about a week.

I just tried their new wipe it on and your done product ("Z-CS" Clear Seal). Results in a great look as far as shine. Of course I put it on over many accumulated coats of Z2.

I did notice that it does not give the slick feel that the Z2 does, but it looks just as good.

Get Zaino's new product, All-in-One (AIO). It's a cleaner, polisher and protectant, "all in one", hence the name. It's great. After that, throw some Z5 Pro for extra protection and finish it with CS Clear and Grand Finale Spray. Or just use AIO by itself, so it's less time consuming.

If memory serves, Sal Zaino and the sales and marketing team are in Jersey. I think the product actually ships out of Kansas City or somehwere in the heartland, which theoretically evens out the shipping times to the coasts. Knowing Jersey, I'm sure there are some tax savings and labor cost advantages to having the warehouse in Missouri (or wherever), as well.

The pic below from their site would seem to support my assumption, especially considering they quoted the deadline for same day shipping in Central time. Behold the answer to the question nobody cared to ask:

Interesting that Turtle Wax also has a plant in Kansas City - might Zanio just be a marketing arm for a private label Turtle Wax?

From my experience it removes and PREVENTS swirl marks. Everyone screams Zaino but I think its all just hype. Liquid Glass was always the best and ive tried a bunch of crap out there. On your second coat of it your going to notice a major difference in my opinion.
