Here's a review of car polishes from Consumer Reports. (I realize that CR doesn't always align with purists and tends to put a high weight on value instead of best performance regardless of cost, etc. but it's still worth reading.)

(Hope I don't get anyone in trouble posting this. If there is any potential problem, please delete!)

Polishes for persnickety people:

 

Zaino is way more than just a polish.

Zaino is a multi-step paint treatment system that offers as many steps as you want to buy.

Check out the picks of this ulta-shiny Zainoed M3.

Steps taken and products used to achieve this amount of shine:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Sunlight wash (dishsoap, as per Zaino advice)
2) Claybar
3) Zaino wash (Z7)
4) Z5
5) Z6
6) Z2 + ZFX
7) Z6

 

I wasn't aware that there were so many levels of Zaino.

Why is it that they don't advertise in Roundel or the many other car mags?

It seems to be a small company that is trying to keep up with "word-of-mouth" growth.
