Gold Class looks a lot like Zaino with a mirro-like finish, but in my experience Gold Class lastas a couple days and Zaino lastas 5-6 months. You'll have to decide if that is worth it.

rangerr91,

Depends who you ask. I've tried Gold Class.......... nice shine, but not for long. Liquid Glass is also nice, but not as durable as Zaino, and not quite the shine........... but still nice. I also like the CWW, but again, it lacks decent durability, and also stains trim pretty bad. Haven't tried Astroshield, so I'll have to add that one to my list.

Anyhow, without making any recommendations, here's what I look for in a wax/sealant.

Must apply and remove "Super" easy.
Must not stain trim.
Minimal dust attraction.
Must be able to layer.
Additional layers should make the appearance of vehicle better previous coat.
Must have great durability.
Ability to apply in direct sun is a plus.
Lastly, of course, a great look!

Cost (within reason) is not an issue.

I don't think a 'couple of days' quite represents the shine of Gold Class. If you're wanting to play, play fair.

Gold Class lasted unti I drove the car in the rain. I washed it and it never looked the same. I am sure it still protected, but the shine was gone. Seriously, days.
