Zaino vs Poorboy Natty's

I have DG coupe. I wanna switch using either Zaino or Poorboy's for wax. If this is worng you can correct me, but my understanding of these two diff waxes are Zaino works well with dark colors and Poorboy's works well with light colors. And DG is a light color so I am leaning toward Poorboy's. But a few days ago I found someone's posting saying that his DG got little darker by using Zaino, which I want. So which one should I use on my DG? May be some picture can help.

Natty's Blue or P21S/S100.

Collinite 845 for durability.

Autopians don't seem to buy into Zaino garbage

Have you even tried Zaino?
I've used alot of different products over the last 30 years on my cars, and nothing, I mean nothing, shines and lasts like Zaino.

Zaino takes out swirl marks like none other. It isn't that durable as a wax tough, it's just polish. I usually wax over after using zaino.

zaino does not *remove* swirls because it is not a true polish unless you are using zpc. zaino is also a syntethic sealant which means that it will have better longevity than a carnuba wax.

regarding the OPs initial question, zaino and poorboys works on both colors. both have specific applications for light and dark colored cars, additionall both have differences regarding appearance. check out each manufacturers homepage and determine what's appropriate for your application.

I've never found Zaino to offer a different polish for dark or light cars, just the same Z2 for all.

It works good on my IP under all circumstances. I use the Zaino carwash, Z2 and Z8.






Sunrise hue reflecting in the IP:

I would go so far as to say all. There are many that like it very much. My own opinion after trying numerous products, for daily drivers amd cars left outside for long periods of time, cars that spend all day in hot sunny environments, etc, a carnauba based product is a waste of time unless you want to throw a coat on every other week. I found Zaino to be the most durable product of the many I have tried. Although it took a while for me to get the shine I wanted, it did provide a very deep clear finish. Now if you liek a wetter appearence, I would reco a synthetic sealant (multiple layers) and then topping it with a carnauba. Just note that in most cases, after you top a synthetic with a carnauba, you will need to strip the carnauba (or whats left of it) off before ever applying another coat of synthetic which is why I reco putting a few layers of synthetic on in the beginning.

Zaino works great on my DG, and I did not notice any color change, or 'darkening'
