Ran out of Klasse AIO, want to try something new

I heard a lot about Zaino, so I was thinking of buying some Zaino AIO, Z2, and/or Z5.



I have 2 dark cars (Ford dark blue and Ford black) and 2 brighter cars (Ford Vista Blue, Chevy Victory Red).



Which should I buy?

Or should I stick with Klasse AIO? I also have some Meguiar's NXT 1.0 and 2.0



I am mainly interested in durability and protection, followed by appearance (depth of shine, etc...)



The Zaino is kind of pricey, which is why I am seeking second opinions.
 
I tried the 2-step process with Klasse and it was a PITA. I prefer an all-in-one style product. Klasse AIO did a great job with that, but I was hoping for something more durable. The reason is that my daily drivers don't really need to look great, and I don't have time to detail them every so often. I do maybe 2-3 detailings a year and the rest of the time I just wash and rinse.

How about Prime Acrylic: "This formula is tailored for the detailer using Prime as a stand-alone, all-in-one cleaner/wax rather than as a basecoat for further layers."
 
Noting that I've never tried the Prime, I sorta doubt that any AIO is gonna be as durable as an AIO + sealant combo.



That said, while I do like ZAIO, I find that it's not really a direct replacement for KAIO for me, but rather another, additional product that I like to have on hand.



I still like the Klasse twins together, with many layers of KSG. I get ~six layers on there and then just wash for a year or so.

I really like Klasse AIO as a cleaner and on windows, but IMO, Zaino does everything the Klasse can do , only better. I get much more duability from ZAIO than from KAIO. Anybody else agree or disagree with t he durability statement?
 
Lots of good suggestions for alternative products, but I haven't heard of any of them. Are they proven to be better than Klasse or Zaino?

On some of my outside-the-box AIO applications, the abrasives in the ZAIO are too aggressive. *Other than that*, yeah...I basically agree. But in those (perhaps weird) cases it can be a big enough issue that the ZAIO will never completely replace the KAIO for me.

I got *somewhat* better durability from the ZAIO but it was nothing like what others here have reported :nixweiss When the KAIO test area needed redone the ZAIO area was getting sufficiently iffy that I just redid them both.
 
I once in awhile reach for Poorboys AIO and really like how easy it it is to use. It seems like last a while and smells great. Can't beat the price either.
 
I am assuming NRZ is referring to PB's Polish with Sealant.



To answer the original poster's question, I would use either ZAIO or Werkstat Prime Strong or Prime Acrylic.
