IMO...better protection, were not just looking at how long it beads. I would get a lot of water spot etching using Zaino. Also I do not own a garage so I know a little about protection verus beading. Collinite will protect better, give a wetter deeper look(carnauba) and far cheaper and easier to work with.This is what I've seen and other's will no doubt have a different opinion. I used to be a Zaino nut, applying layer after layer. I still have all there products and still use there AIO for cleaning. Collinite will easily make it thru the winter up here.

The Collinite is very good wax, the Zaino is a sealant. Different stuff but both effective.

Yep, actually I use a sealant and a wax over the sealant. The sealent does offer a longer protection from the elements than does wax, but the wax seems to offer a deeper shine. I don't think it matters too much if the car is garaged, but there is no question keeping the car outside 24/7, shortens the life of any protection and between the hot sun, pollen, snow, ice, dust, rain, bird droppings, etc.,etc., I go for the maximum protection and that's a sealent and a wax topcoat.
