Breaking Zaino news...

CS is a stand alone product with great durability. CS does not use or need ZFX. Apply allow to dry and you are good for months.



ZFX is needed "if" you are not using Z1, CS or ZAIO for the initial application or you desire to apply multiple coats in "1" session.



ZFX is not rquired to get excellent, not just good, durability out of Z2 or Z5 PRO. These sealants were known and proven their toughness looooong before ZFX was introduced.



Hope this clears up your confusion. :wavey

No. Nor do you need Z1 of ZFX to appliy a single layer of Z2/Z5PRO over ZAIO. CS can also be applied immediately after ZAIO.:bounce

Wow- that is cool. I just assumed that ZAIO needed to fully cure before topping for best results.

Initial testing with Z5/Zymol/CS extremely promising so far. No incompatiblity noted.

What characteristics are you looking for when noting incompatibility issues?



I have never mixed the Zaino line of products with any other product because I was informed of these incompatibility issue's from the get go. consequently if my veicle has Zaino products on it nothing ever goes on top of it.



With the introduction of CS, I am sure that other products will be used on my vehicles then topped with CS. That is why I am asking.
 
I would assume that BLKZ28 is looking to see if CS washes off a carnauba. Has anyone tested CS over a VM or RMG or a synthetic glaze?

What I look for when incompatibility testing is visual clues like streaking, hazying when exposed to sunlight (products separating due to poor bonding and cross-linking), cloudy appearance immediately after application and buffing, inability to buff off completely, any change from normal application/buffing ease, prolonging drying/hazying or incomplete drying/hazying and short term durability of the initial appearance.



So far CS has appears very welcoming at both being a base and a topper? The Z5/Zymol/CS did excellent (no hazying) yesterday under a 70 winter angled Sun. :)



Where's winter???:clap:
 
@blkZ28Conv:



Curious which Zymol Glaze did you use under CS?



How long did you wait on Zymol prior to applying CS?

I had some carbon sitting in the refrigerator.

I allowed the Zymol to dry/cure after buffing for a little over 24 hrs. I applied the CS directly on top. No Z6 was used between coats and vehicle was garage during entire test at 65-70*.

Agree.



If folks follow the directions on Z-AIO and CS, they will be happy campers. Ive used them both for several months and I'm very impressed.
 
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.

oh im really eager to see how CS will go layerd over a high quality carnauba

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.

Has anyone used Z All In One? What do you think about it?

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.
