Griots vs Zaino car wash

Has anybody used both the groits and the zaino car wash?
Trying to compare the two. I currently use griots and was getting ready to make another order, but wanted to know how the zaino compared.

Thanks

Griot's car wash is great -- best I've used. However, IMHO, it's their only product that tops a product category list.

Agree, well -- partly. Their wheel cleaner is the cat's meow. I just tried their paint sealant and was very impressed with the ease of application as well as the finish. Looks every bit as good as my multiple layers of McGuire's TechWax. With snow only a month away, I look forward to testing its durability.

What wax are you using? If you are using a carnauba wax then the Griots is great stuff. Good lubricity and holds its bubbles a long time. The carnauba traces in it boost the shine.

For any sealant I absolutely adore Zaino Z7. It is my absolute favorite. It rejuvinates both the gloss and slickness. Fantastic lubricity really helps avoid scratches when washing. But it can degrade many weak carnauba finishes because of its cleaning power. Of course I do use it pretty heavily. And the smell is to die for. It smells like candy!

I have this wheel cleaner -- Black Magic -- that is near magic. I don't even remember buying it, probably a throw-in-the-basket at Target or the grocery store. Anyway, I started using it last week. Oh my, it's good.
