I've been using Zaino products on my BMWs for a fews years now - with excellent results. 
The shine is brilliant and it holds up over time very well while keeping the surface baby-butt smooth. The only issue I have with Zaino on my Jet Black color is that it lacks depth in the look.
I recently read a post on the M5board with a suggestion to layer Zaino, Carnauba wax, and then Zaino on top. I plan to try this out on the 550 in a few weeks as part of a full detailing treatment.
So I ordered some Pinnacle Souveran pure Brazilian ivory carnauba wax from Autogeek and yesterday I tried it out on Mrs. Tachyon's Volvo hood (after a wash, clay, polish and two coats of Z5).
WOW. Carnauba is better than sex.
(well, not really, but you get the point). It was sooo easy to apply and buff clean - less difficult than laying on a coat of Zaino. Plus, the smell is pure heaven. 
I'm hooked on this stuff and can't wait to try it out on the 550.
