From what I understand there are several versions with the best being "stoneguard". It seems to me that it's best if you have someone good install it, but it works well.
On that note, if anyone could recommend someone in the NC area, that would be tremendous...

Thanks for the quick feedback!
I've heard quite a bit about zanio, but never tried it out. So I'm rather cautious about using a "non-wax" wax, especially with this being brand new (also my first new car ever).
My overall goal is to protect the engine bay and lower panels from everyday dirt/grime etc while the upper panels are more for shine/UV. ALso, I want to do my best to protect the front end from small rocks etc. Eventually I want to put a clear bra on, but that has to wait a little.
If you have any other thoughts, please let me me know!! Thanks again for the help, and I'll be sure to post pictures as soon as she's here....

i have had both synthetics and carnubas on my car for over 4 years now and it looks better than when it rolled off the dealers lot.
the only disadvantage to zaino over a simple carnuba is it is a bit more time consuming (partially cause you can layer syntethics- and most of us have multiple coats... i had over 20 the last time i did a removal- these were accumulated over a couple year period of time). with carnuba, you throw it on and buff it out (p21s is the easiest and best shine of the carnubas imo). with zaino, you apply, cure, remove apply more cure remove... and then maybe carnuba over it (which is what i do).
the synthetics will last several months while carnuba is pretty much gone in most summer climates in not much more than a month.
dont be afraid of synthetics- modern synthetics are incredible products for protection and shine.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm leaning more and more towards zaino now, I'm going to have to investigate it more, maybe try it out on my current car before this one comes in.....
