Zaino AIO and Z2 for the 911 (and Collinites for the boat). Goes on and off pretty easy and can be layered for a deeper shine. Seems to last quite while too.

Ok, I just bought and used Topcoat F 11 and I must say I'm very impressed. Super easy application, leaves no residue , is extremely hydrophobic and leaves the car looking superb. Just applied it 2 days ago to the entire car so the jury is still out as far as longevity. Bottle says an application lasts 3-6 months.
The other product I highly recommend is from Honest Wash and it is their BDP (Brake Dust Professional) cleaner. Spray on, wait approx. 2 minutes until it turns dark red and hose off, bam! all traces of brake dust gone and wheels super clean. Used the Topcoat F11 after drying, we'll see how long it takes for brake dust to re-appear and if it goes away with just spraying water on it. Nothing seems to stick on surfaces that were treated with F11.

Oh yeah, and I installed my World motorsports Ti lug bolts, if you don't have them, get them, you won't regret it.

Wow, I always wondered how Collinite would work on a car's painted surface. I used that for marine purposes and was way impressed on how hard the wax was and how long it lasted. It reminds me of the old Simonize paste that you really had to work at. I always applied Collinite with an orbital or other electric tool.... lotsa work if you use your arms.
Zaino sealant for me!

Looks nice, but if you apply Zaino polish it will bring this shine to another level as if it was just painted, still wet. The above picture is how my 997 looks when it needs another application (after about 3 months).

to keep your car shiny, you first need to remove any scratches through polishing. following that, i would use a sealant, wax, or coating. klasse high gloss sealant glaze is a great product and last at least 6 months. follow that up with regular care- washing your car with the 2 bucket method and drying with clean microfiber towels. most scratches come from improper drying and those scratches make your paint look dull.

This picture is taken with my phone so it's not exactly the best, I get compliments on my paint all the time so I know I'm using/doing something right. I use Zaino as well but I prefer Klasse.
