I've spend the last 3 years or so jumping from brand to brand of products. This summer I took the plunge and picked up some Zaino and I'm NEVER going back to anything else. The ease of application + the quality is unsurpassed from anything I've used. In particular I like the durability of the Z-CS sealant. It has been 3 months or so and MANY washes and the stuff is still there. I hated the NXT and similar products because they never seem to last.

The car looks flawless!!! And thanks for the tip

 

car looks great. I have used zaino for a few years now with great success, but recently switched to optiseal clearseal and I believe it to be a superior product. Cheaper, looks better, last longer IMHO.

 

V8Mike,

Looks good, what Zaino products are you using? I used Zaino back in the day and may start up again, not up to speed on any new products / applications they offer?

But really I didn't see too much of a difference with the AIO polish. My finish was pretty good to start with. I think just a claybar and Z-CS is all you really need. The Z8 does make the finish look really nice but it is just kind of a finishing kind of spray and I think you could skip it. I highly recommend the Z-CS. It sprays goes on very fast and lasts really well. It comes in only a 6-ounce bottle, but I've done 5 coats on my car and have only used about 2 ounces or so. You use a very tiny amount so it lasts a long time. It seems like a ridiculously small amount to use, but it works.

 

I'm very happy with the finish overall considering I have 38,000 miles.

 

Thanks,

I am going to order clay bar, Z-AIO and Z-CS, I don't want to get into layering Z-2/Z-6, etc. and this product sounds perfect.Sounds like the Z-AIO is just okay but I figure following Zaino's advice can't hurt. As an added bonus I can use the product on my boat as well.

Your car looks great!

 

Mike just made the order, ready to roll now...

 

I'll never use anything but Zaino either. So what's this Z-CS??? I bought my Zaino a few years ago..Z2 Pro or something. I put on 2-3 coats twice a year. that stuff is unreal. I guess Zaino has come out with something new and improved, but the Z2 lasts so long I'm just now starting to get low on it. I just put on two coats last night..the first time in 6 months. I clay the car every other time I use Z2..so once a year. it protects the paint so well I really find it useless to clay more than once a year. even after 6 months, there's zero signs of the paint being dirty..it's still smooth to the touch.

 

I got my order in and will be using Z-CS and Z-AIO this weekend for first time after clay bar. Can't wait, car is going to look great. I will probably want to invest in a car cover so the dust doesn't settle on my car in the city.
