I used Meguier's cleaner-wax on my white car. It was two years old, and I'd never waxed it. Looked great--clean, and it brought the gloss back.
I should have followed it up with a coat of something else to provide some longer lasting gloss and water beading, because after 3 months, it still looks clean, but the gloss is noticeably diminished, and water doesn't bead up like it should.
On an older white car, the cleaner wax is a good product, but for a long-lasting effect, it should be followed up with a different, longer lasting finishing product.
I have to admit, I've never used a clay bar, so i might try that next spring. (I'll skip the cleaner wax, just clay bar and then a good, long-lasting finishing wax.)
I tried Zaino. No better then any other store bought wax. Don't get all caught up in the high dollar hype. Because its just that. I have been testing wax products for 30+ years and tried am ell. Don't waste you $$ on Zaino. People that swear by it are just justifying the $50+ cost of it to others.
This is the only wax you will need. Tried em all and still like it the best.
I just zaino'ed my car today, I think the results are pretty good and the protection last long.
Don't know if it's the product or your picture, but the shine isn't all that good, or clear.
Using my car as a comparison, there is a big difference.

I think it is my picture, the shine is actually really glossy and smooth. I was done at about 5pm and the sunlight/angle was not optimal (plus my photography skill is non-existent). Here is a better shot, maybe:
In any case, I am open to trying other wax/polymer that is at least as good as Zaino's shine and protection. It is not like I enjoying paying $50+

Your opinion is just that. Many thousands of car care pros and experienced hobbyists disagree with you. I don't consider my opinion to be worth a lot in this case because I realize that trying a few waxes on different cars is not a useful data set. But I do recognize that there isn't and never will be a "best" wax for everyone.
