Definately ZAINO is the way to go.

No beading to me means no protection. My truck is outside all year long and the new Z2 Pro with the ZFX flash additive ROCKS! I put one coat on of the new stuff and my truck still beads water from a couple months ago. I have used it in the past and it will last 6 months outside, but I think this new Z2 pro is excellent. I can even get the stuff to wipe out of the mixing bottles using Dawn and alcohol!
First, it's Klasse
. Second, Klasse, Collinite, FK1, Werkstatt, and others easily bead for months
. If you "looked into Class (Klasse)," you would know that. And Sal is not inventing the wheel with his statement, "How can you prove you have any protection when a product beads water at first and then sheets." Sal should tell you why do you pay big money for Zaino when you can get similar or better results for cheaper.
Klasse lasts 6+ months for me outside. I top it with FK1 PW for asthetics, but the FK1 will last months too. You're not comparing Zaino to crappy OTC CS rated products when you mention Klasse and the others. You're comparing apples to apples, and they all pretty much perform the same. The only real difference is in the eye of the beholder, depth and gloss. Beading is a given.
With regards to dawn and alcohol cleaning the bottles...they would do that with any product
. No matter which wax/sealant you use, wash your car with Dawn and alcohol and it won't bead, cause it strips the protectant off
