Default Klasse vs Menzerna

Ok so its time to replace my supply of Zaino. I figure it would be a good time to see what else is out there. Note I do like Zaino because ease of use and the shine and protection it gives.

I am looking for a good synthetic wax/polish that is better than Zaino. I know a number of you use Klasse now. Do you think its better than Zaino or just comparable? How about Menzerna? I don't care about time or ease of use if it means more protection and better shine!


This German product line is best known for their two synthetic protectants (waxes) which have received countless awards and accolades. The Klasse All-In-One has the distinct honor of being the quintessential synthetic polish/protectant for over two decades.


A relative newcomer insofar as a complete automotive care lineup goes, this manufacturer has long produced superior lubricants and other chemical products for the automotive and other manufacturing industries. Their recent foray into automotive care has produced what many are calling the best products available anywhere by any company at any price.

So let your vote be heard. Thanks!

What are we voting on here. Just their synthetic sealant products or the whole line up? IMO it's hard to beat Menzerna polishes.

you're missing an option... I like both of the other two, but would still stick with Zaino.

Klasse AIO has plenty of other uses, SG can be finicky, and Zaino will last about as long as SG, if not longer. I don't have any experience with the Menzerna sealants, but the get impression that they're about as good as anything out there. Nothing spectacular, but a decent product.

Personally, I'd stick with the Zaino - and I don't even use it anymore! (I ran out and have so much of my Klasse, I couldn't justify buying more... plus I've tended away from sealants lately)

Pending an answer to my original questions . . . I think you are missing another option . . . Collonite!! Have you considered using these products? Pretty much as durable as any sealant, but with the depth, wetness, warmth and reflections of a carnauba. Plus much cheaper than Klasse, Menzerna, or Zaino.

i know that we have more klasse guys here...
and would guess that klasse would win this poll no matter what, just cause its been around a lot longer-

those klasse guys must be hiding out!

I've been using Menzerna's products for a couple of years now. I've been very pleased with them although I must admit I've never tried Klasse so I don't know how they stack up head to head.

I've used both Klasse and Zaino, and prefer Zaino hands down over SG for a sealant. Although I will probably always keep AIO onhand, it's great for wheels, chrome (exhaust tips), and paint cleansing since it's much better for your paint than a Dawn wash. Plus I like the simplicity of it's wipe-on/wipe-off use with no waiting for it to haze.

Sorry, no experience with Menzerna other than their polishes...and those don't work for me since I primarily work on my car outdoors, and their products aren't sun friendly.
