I need some advice about protecting the paint on my Camaro. Since I autocross my car a lot, I'm way more concerned about using a product that protects my paint from greasy tar like cone marks then getting that ultimate shine like the waxers want. Right now I polish and wax my car with Meguiars 3 step using mainly steps 2 and 3 and I do that twice a year. I love the way it looks but it seems to hold up for about 2 months depending on conditions, but I'm way too lazy to wax my car more then twice a year. Cone marks and dirt easily wash off up to about 4-6 weeks after waxing, but after that time frame, marks are stubborn to get off.

I really don't want a show car shine but I want to know if some of these products like Zaino or 5 star shine work the way I want them to work? I.E. protect the finish of the car without having to put it on more then once or twice a year. If I could get a product to really work for 6 months or even a year, then I'm willing to pay extra for it.

Have you guys tried these products and how did they work? And yes I feel stupid for asking a question like this.
