It`s apparent no matter what Zaino does particular people will never be happy. That`s cool it reminds me of here in Ct the Yankee vs Red Sox fans. I think most of the Zaino negativity towards their products has been the ZFX and mixing bottles. Now that they have done something about it ,they say its too easy. I have to say that wiping off a LSP has never been a burden for me ,I am quite intriged though on how you can apply a LSP and walk away.If I were a volume detailer for a living I would definately welcome a walk away product with serious durability. If it is anything like the Z2/5 pro in appearance I am going to be quite immpressed. As far as the ZAIO I can`t wait to test it on my car, I have all the popular ones to test against Prime acrylic,prime strong,Poliseal and Duragloss 105 ( and FK1`s 2180 way in the back of the cabinet.)
These new products will save me a great deal of time when it comes time to doing others vehicles that want the Zaino treatment.
After wash: ZAIO, Z2 or Z5PRO depending on color of vehicle and finish with CS.
What have I done? 3 layers of protection and shine enhancement. :woot:
Of course, prior to the ZAIO the finish may or may not require a more extensive polishing
but I think you get my point.:heelclick

. Actually I look forward to using or having someone compare my sealant to Zaino`s.....*IF* this latest beta version works as planned:nervous2: If it can equal, perhaps even surpass the Zaino version, I know we did something very special.

Anthony if you ever need somebody to do a non bias side by side test of the new Opt sealant versus CS count me in. I do all my comparison of products with an open mind. I do not favor any one company or am I influenced by what others tell me. I am on my own and let the products do their thing and then and only then will I decide what works best for me. I have used just about every polish , sealant and carnauba out there. I am offering my services to you as somebody who it totally neutral. do like the prospect of the new sealant that does not need to be removed. as others have said it will save me valuable time. give me a shout if you should need me for a test.
That`s about as fair as it gets......:xyxthumbsOriginally Posted by flatstick
Let`s see when it finaly comes out. Sounds very interesting.
Best Regards.

That`s a test I`d like to try here in Texas.....Originally Posted by Scottwax
I keep Z2p and Z5p on my personal vehicles and they hold up very well with our heat and humidity. The Z-CS is what I`m really looking forward to trying. First over a coat of Z2p and then over a coat of just ZAIO for looks and longevity....
The protection from Z5p and Z2p are well known, these two new comers need to get some playing time......!

A clear advantage of CS is that I can also offer my customers that perfer carnuaba-based products a CS seal.
Like many have mentioned during this thread. I still like "masturbating" a well polish finish also and playing around with product combinations.
I will offer my customers/friends the best deal for their money. Both options will be available.:wavey

Since finding sealants I prefer them to Carnuba , not saying one is better than the other just my preference. I don`t care for the functionality of carnuba anymore. i will still buy them and test them though( but not on my car that gets only Zaino)

I like the idea of a long lasting protective finish yet I hated having to wait hours for a polymer to bond so I came up with the idea of a wipe on/wipe off sealant that would avoid the bonding time and the sometimes difficult removal of some sealants.

Just a quote from the back of the bottle of my Supercoat Aircraft Windshield Treatment circa 1976: "2. Apply...with a soft cloth...3. Before surface is dry, wipe with a clean dry soft cloth..." Sounds like WOWO to me, and they even have a product for cars now (for all I know, they had the car one back in 1976, too, I only had the Windshield one because I was told it was good for plastics).
