Default Zaino OR Wax for Winter?

I just got the lady a Silver RSX. Winter is coming and I want to get it ready. What is better at handling the elements...zaino or wax? I use Zaino with excellent results on my S2000 but is really tough to standing up to the winter weather?

I try to drive all year round. Some days, just can't. But I prefer Zaino as it's a polymer. Having it on, makes washing and keeping A shine in the winter easier.

just my $.02

Put 2 -3 coats of Zaino on now and you have 6 months of protection. Even with the best wax needs to be replaced every 6-8 weeks. My winter car is a Zaino car !

Why would wax need to be replaced in 6-8 weeks when the car is not in use or outdoors?

Zaino is, other than Rejex, the most durable protectant you can put on your car. (that I've found)

6-8 weeks would imply normal use.
