Yep, I should have said Carnuba, but I think the idea got across.
All this talk about Zaino makes me wonder about how a polish can protect paint or fiberglass. Seems like you need a coating of some sort to do that job, and as far as I know, Carnuba was is one of the toughest of those types. My experience has been with Simoniz wax with Carnuba was and it protected my 1990 van's paint for 11 years with a once a year application. When I sold it, the paint still looked great. I bought the "On and Off" new gel formulation at West Marine today. The latest issue of Practical Boater rated it highly along with another brand which West didn't carry. Practical Boater gave the other brand a higher rating because it was half the price of "On and Off". The West salesman recognized this and matched the price to the other stuff. I think Boater's World carried the other brand. These are all mixtures of various acids, so they probably are equally effective.

Is that Carnuba? If it is then that put that in some cheap chocolates too. |
