That's a pretty wide open question.
I have used Zaino since my NB's have been new and they still look new.
Zaino products cost a bit more but I really like the finish and durability of the shine. I'm not one for putting a bunch of different wax products on my cars just to test them out and see what looks the best.
If you want paint protection and a professional show car look, try out Zaino.
Wash with Dawn detergent, dry, claybar, Zaino AIO, Zaino Z2Pro, Zaino CS, and finish with Z8 and your car will look like it never has before, even when it was new!!

I just finished a zaino treatment on my car. I love their claybar. And Z2 Pro is awesome stuff. I didn't get Z8. Maybe I should have....

This is the 2nd car I've used it on. I love the results.

When I was out of Zaino, I used Megueiers - polish and NXT wax.

In my opinion, Zaino is the best. I have used a lot of products before, then I switch to Zaino and I cannot beging to tell you what a huge improvement is made on my cars. It is true that they are a bit expensive but top notch products. The leather cleaner is awesome.

I use Meguiars NXT and follow up with 3M Perfect-it. I detail cars on weekends only and the reviews I get from customers is really positive, especially for dark coloured cars. The Meguiars NXT is long lasting and fool proof. The 3M Perfect-It is even more fool proof too... a great finishing coat to say the least.

I purchase the Mother's clay bar kit, since i found it locally. There was the clay bar, quik detailer spray and paint cleaner. Next I used Meguiar's NXT paste wax. It turned out really well.

A friend ordered Meguiar's new ultimate quik detailer spray. Gave his MG the wet look.
Has anyone tried this one?
