Wax?
#26
I had the AUTO ARMOR TOTAL CAR PROTECTION done when I bought the truck. It was 500 bux with a 5 year guarantee. It has been 27 months going and the truck looks as it did when the stuff was applied- never waxed once.
The Dealer also gave me a whole Auto Armor Package for free to re-apply if and when I want too.
So, I only wash the darn thing with Palmolive liquid soap and water without having to wax it. I'm happy!

I suppose the Auto Armor is a different substance?

Allow me to explain:
When you are going to do or re-do the "Zaino Process" they have you wash the car with Dawn dish detergent, because it does a great job stripping the car of everything, and helping prime it for the Zaino.
Hence, if you wax your car, then wash it the next week with Palmolive soap; you just took all your wax off!
When I was a newb to car care, I use to wash my old explorer with normal soap all the time...not good!

You get the Zaino religion on ALL the dang Forums. Yugo forums...Vette forums etc. You get the SAME results if you wash, detar and clay as you do with Zaino with El Cheapo Wal-Mart Meguiar's. Jay Leno don't sit at Meguiar's if the shizzle ain't no good.... :badgrin:
Zaino, Fuller Brush, Rainbow Vacuum....Kirby...Snake Oil...

What about Nu Finish? The TV commercial said only once a year was all you needed to do, and it would restore old paint finishes.. lol
I think you're right. Zaino might produce good results, but so will just about ANY wax that is put on correctly. Most of it is in the application, not the product.
Miagi-son, Wax on Wax off, repeat!

Saying you get the "SAME" results from two different products (when one is a wax and another is a polish) is a bit off in my opinion...

Most waxes will give you a shine that may compare to Zaino, but the first time it rains its gone. The Zaino difference is that it stays looking just as great for 6 months. The only thing I've found that will dull the shine is the super-acidic ground water if my truck gets sprinklered on.
Heres my truck 6 weeks after applying 2 coats of Zaino:
