How can one tell if Zaino is bonding to the surface or not? Immediately? Durability reduced?

long term durability

So, using it (Z1 + Z2/Z5) over any final polish/glaze would mean less durability, say 1 month? 2 or 3? till the next wash?

Well yes.
The surface cannot have any glazes/oils from polishes present if you want Zaino to bond properly. I`ve used AIO to prep paint for Z1+Z2 before with great results. Just need to have a clean surface for Z1.

Well you got where I wanted. AIO leaves something on the surface, how can I (we?) tell if Z is bonding? (ok, if you guys say it does...:up )
Cause there are other products that can be used as well substituting AIO as a cleaner...

If you zainoed your vehicle, yet you continue to wash it on a regular basis..will the zaino come off?
i ask this because i wash my car once a week or so. everytime i finish washing, i spray some ZFX on.

? :nixweiss ?
You actually just spray ZFX onto the surface? How come?
jgv- while there probably is some scientific equipment that would be able to measure bonding, in the real world that isn`t feasible. Therefore, if something is lasting on a cars finish that is subjected to rain, salt, bird bombs, etc and continues to show signs of durability, then it has probably bonded to the surface somehow.

After you`re first wash, if you noticed that the beading gradually degrade while washing maybe you`ll notice the zaino starting to wash off? It`ll be really hard to tell when you have other sealant underneath because whether the zaino didn`t bond properly or did you`re car will still have a protection underneath and will look shiney no matter what.
