I'm not a Zaino guy, but I'm surprised by the "no recommendation" from these guys.

From the description at thewaxtest.com, I think the entire test is invalid. I base this on their statement of "preparing" the test panels. They started out good (using Dawn), but then they state:

"We used Meguiar's Professional Series buffing compounds on our panels, in varrying levels of aggressiveness. We started all of them with Medium Cut Cleaner, eventually working our way to Swirl Free Polish."

So, they polished the panels THEN waxed them...basically the prep process prevented the Zaino from bonding to the paint.

All in all, I think their prep process invalidates the entire test, no matter what the wax. You need follow each manufacture's directions on every panel sub-section if you want a "fair" comparison.

They are welcome to their opinion. I have used lots of stuff in over thirty years of cars and I am sold on Zaino. I have done all the tests I need to do.
