Meguiars vs. Zaino or CG

I have read a lot of praises for Zaino and CG. What do you guys think of Meguiars professional series polishes and waxes. I have previously used Meguiars and have gotten good results. I have about 60-80 bucks worth of Meguiars products, but I am tempted to buy Zaino because of what I have read. So is it really worth it? What about the process? With Meguiars I would do one section at a time. Appply polish, let it haze and then remove. With Zaino I read you can apply to the entire car and then remove. By the way my car is black. Thanks in advance.

Re: Meguiars vs. Zaino or CG

I used Meguiars for the first 2 months I had my car. I had good results but after switching to Zaino there will be no going back. Lasts longer, easier to apply (after the first time of course), looks and feels better.

Re: Meguiars vs. Zaino or CG

ZAINO! No comparision. Actually I had (but no longer have access to for reasons I don't understand) read a comparison on an NSX forum a test by one of the folks, who tested: Meguiars, Zymol (the inexpensive), special NSX wax (made by Zymol at US$150 per tub!!!) and Zaino. Of course the guy wanted the NSX stuff to win, but when he and his friends tested the four, plus a blank spot, all marked off on a dented red NSX hood, over a six week period, in all the tests they did, Zaino tied for first or won hands down. Overall, he concluded (very unscientific but not biased towards the winner) that Zaino was far and away best, followed by Zymol, the NSX paste, and a distant last, Meguiars, which he stated was little better than bare paint after only a few weeks outdoors. Hey the link is back up- here:

Re: Meguiars vs. Zaino or CG

the answer is simple.....if you have time for the vrey involving first app.....Zaino is the way to go.
If you have no time, CG is the way to go.
I am convinced that CG is the way to go, i've been using it for over 7 months with nothing but excellent results.

Re: Meguiars vs. Zaino or CG

How often do you repeat the CG? Will it protect the paint from getting scratched by public car washing machine? Thanks.
