What waxes or cleaners do you use?

Yes, Zaino contains silicones. Blackfire was created by Classic Motoring Accessories (properautocare.com) as a direct competition to Zaino. They use very similar formulas and as you can see from the head to head wax test sight, they performed very close in all categories. Blackfire uses a Polymer Silicone combination.

I have confirmed this with the knowledge that silicone attracts dust like crazy and you can see from that head to head wax test site that Zaino attracted dust CONSIDERABLY more than good old Carnauba. Just look at the half hood test on that site with the Mercedes ML after they went offroading. There is a pretty dramatic contrast from the carnauba and Zaino.

Im not saying take my word for it. I am just saying look at head to head, objective tests and draw your own conclusions.

I did some side work for a local fire department because they cannot use products with polymers and silicones because the 3M reflective lettering will not be able to be repaired and stick to the finish. Ask any vehicle lettering person that uses the 3M mettalic lettering. Products like Zaino, Blackfire, and some Meguiars stuff could not be used to polish out the hard water spots. So Klasse was employed and has done a great job.

This is just my experience and opinion. Nothing more
