    I have a packet of CilaJet that was given to me by a friend several months ago. He was considering investing in the company, and had his cars done. He said it would be enough to apply to my Prius and my Miata. I'm still thinking about it, but in the meanwhile I used my old standby Meguiar's yesterday.
    Are you going to do it yourself, or have it professionally applied? I think they usually use a clay bar first, but it seems to me that shouldn't be needed with a brand new car. Please keep us posted on your results.

    I did a google search and found comments from serious car detailers that this was too expensive for what it does. I am using 3M US: Performance Finish - Automotive
    I had my '06 detailed before sale and the guy used this product. It came out looking way better than new. It is not hard to apply. I can do it myself and save a few.

    There is no "magic bullet". Regular car care is what pays off.

    I like zaino because I can be lazy and apply it once a year. At least if you do all the steps. Anything with carnauba can last 3 months at best, check out autopia forums for the best advice, just don't go to crazy. Pick a product and go with it. The main thing is to do something. Also, I would clay a new car, it picks up things as its being shipped on the truck and what not.
