    I`m with you fiddyz. If Z-CS can "lockup" my Zymol Estate glow for an extended time (say 2-3 months), I may migrate back to carnauba. Until then I`m sticking with the Zaino line of products.

    You`ll be a happy camper if you use CS over `CURED` carnauba. It`s amazing!



    If you slap a coat of CS on the paint right after wiping down your carnauba LSP, you will not see the results.



    When CS hits the market in a few weeks, I hope folks READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.



    There is slight learning curve, but it`s a very short one if you follow the directions.

    Yes, I have used Z-AIO for a few months.



    Here are my thoughts....



    Z-AIO was shipped(TEST SAMPLE) in a 2oz bottle, identical to the ones shipped with zfx.



    2oz was enough to polish out 2 mid-sized cars. You will use less product by hand.



    Z-AIO was applied to virtually all external surfaces (paint, glass, plastic lighting, wheels, painted and flat plastic trim, jams, and a few areas in the engine bay). I didn’t pick up any staining.



    Z-AIO was able to correct very minor marring, on par with Klasse-AIO which is arguably the most popular one-step product.



    Z-AIO doesn’t have the cutting abilities needed to level swirls. If it did, I think you’d be looking at a 2+ step process, which would defeat the purpose of using an all-in-one product.



    Z-AIO ‘cleaned’ the paint surface effectively, didn’t dust (I primed my pad with Z6), and wiped off with very little effort.



    Z-AIO restored the paints original luster, and left behind the ‘trademark’ Zaino shine and slick surface. On older paint, you really notice the renewed luster.



    Z-AIO does not require zfx.



    Final Thoughts on Z-AIO



    *An excellent choice on new, or well maintained paint. It works well on blemished surfaces too, but isn`t intended as a swirl/defect remover.



    *Safely removes ‘clay bar’ marring.



    * Saves Time, and provides a solid `base` for Z2Pro, Z5Pro, and CS.



    I plan to use Z-AIO and CS on many details this year. They work very well together, save time, protect well, and leave you with a killer looking finish.

    Scott,

    I have and use Prime and Prime Strong. Without sounding bias since all these products (KAIO, Prime and PS yield excellent results, I like the appearance and cleansing ability of ZAIO better. Could be that initial polishing was done with Z-PC Fusion and the ZAIO was removing Z sealants from the test area.:nixweiss



    I also have some Opti-Seal to try this week.

    Scott,



    I`ve never used Prime as an All-In-One (i.e. as a stand alone LSP), but I do think it does a good job cleaning the paint.



    The latest version of Z-AIO also cleans well and leaves a very slick, high gloss surface.



    Z-AIO durability is on par with any carnauba product that I`ve ever used in the Northeast

    -where we get salted roads and plenty of acid rain.



    Today is no different, except the acid rain is coming down in the form of snow. Am I venting? (LOL).



    Hope this helps.

    Question for combo`s.....After a Z-PC polish with a LC white pad, should I go ZAIO and then Z5p and ZCS......or.......a polish and then ZCS and Z8....?

    Use ZPC for swirl removal and all other Zaino products can be used depending on your preference.

    ZPC/Z5pro/CS

    ZPC/Zaio/CS

    on a flawless finish

    Zaio/Z2pro/CS

    Zaio/CS



    Z8 for extra gloss boost after washing



    It sounds as if using both ZAIO and Z5pro is a bit redundant

    ZAIO works well by pc, and will remove very light marring.

    another noobie question... is it normal (or recommended) to use a polish (e.g. OP, ZAIO, Z5p) or LSP (e.g. Z8, ZCS) on glass? i`m particularly looking for something that will bead rain on the windshield, w/o streaking, to replace my current bimonthly rainx treatment...
