I had a Zaino kit sitting in my garage for a couple of years. Bought it back in my Corvette days. The Corvette folks swear by it.
Finally took the plunge and put my Cayman through the Zaino process - wash / clay bar / prep wax / high gloss application / prep wax / high gloss / show wax. Results are amazing. The finest optical clarity and gloss I've ever seen. It lives up to the reputation.
I've attached a couple of pics taken in cloudy weather - you can see the clouds in the reflection.
What temperature do you keep it at? I've been using Zaino for about 6 years now. It loses a lot of its benefits if you leave stored it in a cold garage for more than a few months.
Most Zaino folk seem to think that it's good for 18-24 months at room temp.

Wow, great results. What do you mean by prep wax / high gloss application / prep wax / high gloss / show wax? The Zaino kit I have has numbers like Z2, Z5, etc.

My kit was stored in the garage in the original box / packaging for what would be 3 years next month in Houston, TX. Wow, if it lost some of its benefits I'd like to see what a fresh batch would do!!

Your car looks spectacular but I promise you that you'll get better results if it's fresh, and if you use ZFX with it.
The thing I love about Zaino and the main reason I use it is that I'm lazy... I can apply 3 layers, and it'll last 3-6 months... can't get those results with any carnauba wax, regardless of what anyone says. (you can actually apply 13-15 layers of zaino before you must clay bar and start over again)
It can't shine as good as some carnauba's, but the durability is awesome.

Awesome, I just did 6 coats of the Z2/Z5 followed with Z6 and Z8 Finished with zainos sealer which added the perfect depth. Still need to upload pictures
Some have had great success layering a carnauba between Zaino, giving extra shine with Zaino's durability. The only thing I never did like about Zaino was waiting for it to set up before you could buff it off...
Collinite is well known for its durability. I carry their most popular waxes, 845 insulator wax, 476s super double coat and 915 marque d'elegance. The info on each is below, along with the links for them. I've seen countless posts on collinite lasting 5-6 months. I've been using 845 and 476 for years. I only recently starting using 915 and its sorta a toss up for me now on whether to apply 915 or 476. I tend to use 845 on my white truck and the others on my darker vehicles. Thats just a personal preference though.

I should mention too, if you REALLY want a durable setup. Do a base coat of OptiSeal, which is a wipe on - walk away product. (requires no buffing of residue, it simply evaporates). Then wait a day or so and top that with a collinite wax. You'll get protection for a loooong time Opti-Seal
