new paint. polish?

ok so i got my car back, it looks good.
(i will get my pictures developed tomorrow)
the body/paint guy said 90 days on wax or anything that seals the paint.
but sal from zaino said two weeks. does it not seal the paint or does it just make it shine?

and how many days does it take to apply Zaino and stuff. is it worth it or can i just use something else.

everyone says good things about it, but they also say its a hassle.

I waited 7 days before I Zainoed my RS and it came out awesome (see picture below). This was a clearcoat/basecoat paint if that makes a difference.

Zaino is not that big of a hassle to apply. It just sounds complicated. I can Zaino my car in 10 min. Let dry for an hour or so. Removing Zaino takes about 10 min.

Right on, Chuck. I have the same compliment of Zaino products for my RS. I also use Z5 occaisionally to remove the enevitable mild scratches. BTW - your car looks great!!
