If you are wondering about what the best detail products out there are, I highly suggest Zaino. I've pretty much used every product out there and this stuff is insane! I was addicted to Rejex for a long time, but no more. This stuff beat's it out without question. I just bought their Triplet package a few weeks ago, which includes their 2 new products (All-in-One, also known as AIO and Z-CS Clear). It also comes with Z-8 Grand Finale Spray.
Here's what I did:
1. Washed car with Mitts and Meguiars NXT Car Wash.
2. Rinsed using DEIONIZED water (Mr. Clean AutoDry Car Wash System has this filtration system built into it). For those wondering what this does, it removes all the ions from the water, which causes hard water stains. The car dries to a "spot-free" shine without having to wipe down. However, I still did the wipe down, as you'll see in my next step.
3. Dry with Leaf Blower and wipe dry using detail towels only.
4. Lay initial coat of AIO. Allow car to completely dry and then buff/wipe off.
5. Lay down Z-CS Clear. Allow to completely dry (No wiping or buffing needed...thank god!)
6. Spray Z-8 Grand Finale Spray. Wipe/Buff off.
That's it! I considered using Z-5 Pro after using AIO, but my arms were shot and I didn't think it was necessary.
It was 6:15pm when I finished, so the sun hitting the car wasn't ideal. I drove around to find a decent spot. Here are the results:

Seems to be a very good product, alternative to Rejex, which I'm using.

Thanks Nick. I've been a Rejex lover for the past year and was convinced nothing beat it. I'm sold on Zaino and will no longer use Rejex. If you get a chance, try some. I think you'll convert too.

My only concern is that it is a three step product (after washing). With Rejex I just wash it, Rejex it, it finish it
