I use this blend of products, you can decide if the results speak for tehmselves.
for soap:

for cleaner wax (to clean out your clear coat from settled in dirt and other crap)

I really don't like that gold class wax, i bought some and hated it, i can't even get my mom to use it. That zymol stuff works pretty good though!

You guys sound like you have the right idea, but you are missing one crucial component. The cleaner is nice, and the wax looks like high quality stuff, but you need to clay your finish with good quality clay bar. I use the stuff from www.griotsgarage.com , but the stuff that mothers puts out is good stuff as well. Just make sure you use a good spray detailer as lubricant. You will notice a difference and the wax will go on much easier. Plus, by using zymol cleaner and the meguiars on top of that, you are actually using two layers of wax. The zymol is a wax that cleans as it applies wax, so it should be used on surfaces that are already prepared, such as surfaces that have been clayed.

how often do you use Zaino? every wash? or is it a once in a while thing? I just clay-bared the whole car and put on Meguirs Gold Class wax.. but would like it to shine even more... Can I use Meguirs wax on a frequent basis and use Zaino for those special occasions?

Byron, you can only use one or the other.
If you use Zainos, you can apply it every month like wax. Zainos will not only out shine any wax out there, but also last longer. There have been testimony of it lasting up to 6 months.
If you decide to use Zainos, but sure to use dish washer soap to strip the paint of wax. Since you've already use the clay bar on the car, use Z1 and Z2 and your car will shine like it ain't no tomorrow.
