I use the zaino ultimate kit which includes all the leather products, show polish, z-5, clay bar, soap, tire shine, the water based spray wax, zfx flash cure + I bought grand finale and z-aio.(I may have left something out) but I'm in love with this stuff.

I have used many products (Jeffs Werkstat, Jetseal and Zaino) and for pure durability prefer Zaino. To get the durability, you really need to prep properly but if you do, there is little, if anything, that lasts as long.
Having said that, I liked the look of the Jeffs products better (but hated the durability). I also really like the warm glow of a carnauba so my go to process now is as follows:
Clay bar
Polish if necessary
Isopropyl alcohol wipedown
Zaio to clean and a base coat
2 coats of Z2pro with ZFX (Z6 between each)
P21S concours look wax
Wait 24 hours and top with Z8
This combo provides a lot of durability (Zaino base), a nice warm glow (P21S) and eliminates the "glassy" look of Zaino, and I find a Z8 wipedown eliminates the static cling dust effect of the carnauba.
I put Jeffs Werkstat on my wife's SUV and it lasted about a month and a half. Very disappointed. Jetseal is good too but I also find its durability is lacking compared to Zaino.
I'm by no means a Zaino zealot (I try everything
) but I have to give it credit when it comes to durability and the Z8 spray sealant is, IMO, their best product.
I'm going to try Duragloss and Optimum Optiseal next on the wife's SUV topped with Dodo Supernatural wax and a Migliore wax (in different combos to see what I like best). My wife's car is my test car because I don't use it on the G until I'm happy with the results..

Zaino is my preferred product! 
I've used most of their products but over the past 9 years I've stuck with their clay, Z2, Z5, ZFX, Clear Seal, Z6, and their leather cleaner and conditioner. I apply Z2/CS/Z6 layers - very easy to apply with great results. I need to try their glass polish as well.

I have a number of Zaino products in my business inventory and have used them both on personal vehicles and customer vehicles. Overall, I really enjoy their sealants, mainly for their durability. Z2/Z5 are great sealants, but I personally prefer FMJ for it's appearance and ease of use.
The biggest gripe I have with Zaino is that they label and market their sealants as polishes, when in fact they are NOT polishes whatsoever. Dunno why, but it really rubs me the wrong way and I feel they are completely false advertising some of their products.
