For testing purposes, the ZCS was intended to be used/tested as a standalone LSP with no other products used. Therefore, both surfaces had IPA wipedowns to remove any last bit of AW I had left on both cars, which wasn`t much anyway. Another thing that left me puzzled was that it never did/does bead extremely tightly, even right away. I mean, yes, it beads pretty good initially, but not what I`m used to seeing with the Z sealants or other products...then the beading falls off a cliff pretty rapidly.
I had really high hopes for CS too, as detailing isn`t much of a huge hobby for me anymore, like it used to be, due to time constraints and other life factors. So, for me, any product that offers great durability/protection, and supreme ease of use, is a winner for me. Time limits what I am able to do nowadays, so something quick and easy is what I`m after. I had hoped CS would be that one product that would put all others to rest. It`s no doubt supremely easy to use, but I`m just not getting the durability I think I should. :nixweiss: If I have to use ZAIO, Z2, or Z5 first, that defeats the whole ease/quickness thing, and I may as well stick with 105/AW combo...that`s why I was using CS by itself...
Thanks,
